Bob Hoehne, chair of the Umpqua Watersheds Wilderness Committee, talks all things wilderness. Bob has been fighting for wilderness protections since the Umpqua Wilderness Defenders days in the mid 80’s. He tells us about the three existing designated wilderness on the Umpqua, and why these are so important for ecology, science, and fisheries. Bob talks about other road-less areas on the Umpqua that should be designated wilderness in the near future.
