Rick Johnson

New alliances have come together to add 300,000 acres to the Idaho  Wilderness. The last wilderness in Idaho was added over 20 years ago. Citizens from diverse interests are finding a new common ground in working together to create wilderness in their states. Idaho is a terrific success story. Rick Johnson tells us why.
