By a vote of 227 to 200, Protecting America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act (H.R. 803) passed the House today. This bill permanently protects nearly 1.5 million acres of Wilderness, including our own proposed Rich Hole and Rough Mountain Wilderness Additions in southeastern Bath county.

Now the bill moves on to the Senate.
