FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







No. 26
THE TUOLUMNE RIVER


               
There is currently a life or death battle being waged for the last remaining wilderness stretch of the Tuolumne River in California.  This river flows in magnificent splendor from Yosemite high in the Sierra to the floor of the Central Valley.  It is the same river that John Muir fought to preserve nearly a century ago.

The Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Districts have submitted plans to begin construction of a massive dam on the river.  If these plans are implemented the wildlife, the recreational value and the natural beauty of the Tuolumne will be lost forever.

Legislation has been introduced into the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives that would prevent any further development on the river.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs supports this legislation and urges the California congressional delegation to do likewise and recommends that the members and affiliated clubs of the Federation exert their influence by writing their representatives to save the Tuolumne River.
