My family and I live in the Yaak Valley, in the northwestern
corner of Montana. It has about 60 residents, but is home to
thousands of wild animals, such as black and grizzly bears,
mountain lions, elk, moose, deer, bobcats, linx, salamanders, bald
eagles, and many many more.
Residents of Lincoln County rely a great deal on the logging
industry, and most of the logging is done in the Yaak. This
destroys the habitat of many of the animals, as well as hurting the
growth of the rest of the forests.
My father, Rick Bass, is an environmentalist and a writer, and
works really hard to protect the Yaak from such destruction, and
finally, his efforts have helped create the Wilderness Bill. The
Wilderness Bill will protect most of the Yaak Valley from logging,
clearcutting, and motorized vehicles.
The picture is of my dog Auna and I on a hike with my dad on
Flat Iron Mountain, an area that will be protected by the bill when
you sign it next year.
