many, even members of the IDF&G folks. It's a small contingent of hunters and ranchers who are very loud, boisterous and gun-totin' TPs who hate the gubbamint (except for all the subsidies they get and cheap grazing on public lands etc.).

The Frank Church is one of the last best places and needs to be preserved as a real wilderness, it's not just and aesthetic thing, it's of major importance to the clean air and water availability of a large portion of our chunk of the continent. Sadly, bark beetle infestation is a big problem there over the past decade or more. And much of that is due to the four dams on the lower Snake River which prohibit the salmon runs that once nourished the forests of the Rockies. Several species of the anadramous fisheries have gone extinct already and there's more to come. Hydropower isn't necessarily the answer in this region (much of the power that these dams provided was primarily for the purpose of supplying the MIC's manufacturing of weaponry like the Kaiser aluminum and Hanford nuclear facilities for example. Little of that goes to the GP) and is more of an environmental disaster in slow motion.
