Western Watersheds Project and Wilderness Wolf Watcher Coalition Partners Take Action to Block Helicopter Use in the River-Of-No-Return Wilderness 
~ Jon Marvel

Friends,

On February 3, 2010 Western Watersheds Project, the Wolf Recovery Foundation and our coalition partners filed a Motion and Opening Brief in federal district court requesting a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order to block the landing of helicopters to radio collar wolves in the Frank Church-River-of-No-Return Wilderness. Four WWP staff and board members filed personal declarations as part of the briefing.

The darting of wolves and landing of helicopters within the Frank Church is a violation of the spirit of wilderness and the law. 

I hope you'll take a look at the motion and brief:

Read the Injunction Motion

I also hope you'll take the time to read the declarations of WWP board, staff, and members whose powerful experiences with wolves and the Frank Church wilderness is an inspiration:
