Yes, Virginia, we have a Wilderness Bill!Virginia Senator Tim Kaine has introduced an important bill, co-sponsored by Senator Mark Warner, that is cause for celebration. The Virginia Wilderness Additions Act of 2017 calls for designating an additional 5,600 acres of the George Washington (GW) National Forest as Wilderness. Those lands, which are already part of the GW, would be added to two existing Wilderness areas, expanding protections for this remarkable area to nearly 21,000 acres, located in the rugged territory in southeastern Bath County.
