My experience with Friends of the Clearwater changed my life. As a graduate student at the University of Idaho, I was prepared to use my advanced degree in Natural Resources to work for a federal land agency. As my studies evolved, I became increasingly concerned and agitated with the utter mis-management and abuse of our public lands system by the federal government and corporate America. That's when I started volunteering with Friends of the Clearwater and eventually enrolled into an exciting internship program with them. At just over 9 million acres, Idaho contains more federal roadless land than any other state in the Lower 48. Friends of the Clearwater strives to protect each and everyone of these acres, including the proper management and protection of all native plants and wildlife species. They are strong advocates of the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act, HR 980, a bill which would designate the remaining 24 million acres of federal roadless land in the Northern Rockies bioregion as Wilderness. Besides the important wildland conservation work the group does, my favorite thing about them is the people that are associated with them. Because it always has been, and always will be a grassroots organization dedicated to serving the public, Friends of the Clearwater is about community, place, and voice. The longer you go through life, the more you realize that this is what matters. Thank you Friends of the Clearwater for changing my life for the better!
