Central Cascades Wilderness Strategies Project

The Deschutes and Willamette National Forests have made a draft Decision for the Wilderness Strategies Project on visitor use management strategies for five wilderness areas in the central Cascades in order to reduce resource impacts caused by increasing recreation use.

The five wilderness areas are Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Washington, Three Sisters, Waldo Lake, and Diamond Peak. Wilderness staff and managers are seeing substantial increases in the number of visitors to wilderness, which is impacting many of the more popular sites.
