The Federal Bureau of Land Management, which oversees the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument, finalized a new resource management plan in early January that outlines how the government will take care of the over 100,000 acres of breathtaking landscape.
The Monument covers a large, ecologically diverse region on the border of Oregon and California. In order to learn what environmentalists think about this new management plan, JPR’s Roman Battaglia spoke with Dave Willis, the Chair of the Soda Mountain Wilderness Council and the man who originally fought to create the Monument starting in the 1980s.
