Mount Hood Meadows
Local
communities, concerned citizens, businesses, conservation
organizations and others have been working for years to set in
place a new vision for Mount Hood and its surrounding forests.
In 2004 Senator Wyden introduced the first of several proposals
to come that would legislate a new vision for Mount Hood. Since
2004 there have been a number of subsequent proposals varying in
size and shape from Wyden, Smith, Walden and Blumenauer. All of
the proposals have focused on protecting additional Wilderness
around Mount Hood and the Columbia Gorge and a land exchange
between Mount Hood Meadows and the US Forest Service.
