Protecting Frank Church Wilderness

EMERGENCY INJUNCTION MOTION TO BLOCK HELICOPTERS IN FRANK CHURCH WILDERNESS:  On 2/3/10 we filed an emergency injunction motion to prevent US Forest Service and Idaho Fish and Game Dept. from landing helicopters this winter in the Frank Church Wilderness.  The agencies seek to operate and land helicopters in the Wilderness to dart and collar wolves, in violation of Wilderness Act and NEPA.

Dozens of supporters of The Wilderness Society, Great Old Broads For Wilderness, Idaho Conservation League, Wolf Recovery Foundation, Winter Wildlands Alliance, Wilderness Watch, Sierra Club, and Western Watersheds Project filed supporting declarations attesting to the harm they will suffer if the helicopter landings in Wilderness are allowed.   READ THE DECLARATIONS: http://www.advocateswest.org/case/central-idaho-wolves
