Both proponents and opponents agree that Scotchman Peaks is a great place.

Proponents believe that what has kept it a great place is the Forest Service managing it as recommended wilderness since their first forest plan came out in 1987, with broad public support for wilderness designation. Opponents would prefer to be able to make changes to the way it is managed.

Forget all the politics surrounding the advisory vote and decide if you want Scotchman Peaks to be preserved the way it is now … a great place, permanently. I decided this 12 years ago and joined Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness. Fits my conservative perspective perfectly … no change.
