Wilderness Profile


Just three miles off of Interstate 80, Castle Peak Potential Wilderness is among the most scenic areas in the Tahoe National Forest. Home to extraordinary old-growth red fir forests and the little Truckee River, Castle Peak provides clean drinking water to residents of Nevada County.

Thank Congressman Thompson for fighting for California wilderness!

The Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Wilderness Act (H.R. 233/ S. 128) has made an important step in Congress today. Today, it passed out of the House and will now be going to the Senate for final review, then to President Bush for his signature. The legislation would permanently protect more than 277,000 acres of beautiful wild lands from the Oregon border to Napa County as wilderness, marking the greatest victory for California wilderness since the passage of the Big Sur Wilderness and Conservation Act of 2002 and the largest California wilderness bill since the passage of the California Desert Protection Act of 1994. Congressman Thompson, wilderness advocates and their supporters have fought diligently and passionately for this bill for four years.

Please take a few minutes to thank Congressman Thompson for his efforts on behalf of North Coast wilderness:
