Greetings!
This blog has been created to have a place for posting information, as well as opinions, about and against plans to expand the North Cascades National Park
There has been a lot of information and propaganda coming out from the main group (North Cascades Conservation Council) proposing some sort of expansion of the NCNP. This group's effort is known as the American Alps Legacy Project, which would seek to possibly reconfigure the boundaries of the North Cascades National Park by over 300,000 acres, usurping United States Forest Service lands on both sides of the park as well as folding the Ross Lake Recreation Area into national park land. This is a complicated and dramatic land designation change with many implications and consequences regarding, not only existing recreational use, but the development and growth impact on the existing "gateway communities" that border this expanded NCNP scenario.
Stayed tuned to this blog for points and perspectives against any expansion of the North Cascades National Park.
