Great Old Broads for Wilderness help Forest Service with solitude monitoring

The Wilderness Act of 1964, which protected over 9 million acres of land in the US, states that, by definition, Wilderness must have “outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation”.

In studio with us are members of the grass-roots organization Great Old Broads for Wilderness. The national organization is led by women who work towards preserving and protecting wilderness and wild lands. They have been working with the Forest Service on a solitude monitoring project. KBOO's Michele Coppola speaks with Laurie Kerr, local chapter president and members Barb Fox Kilgore and Kathleen Worley.
