Wild Olympics
The Wild Olympics campaign is an effort to designate additional areas on the Olympic Peninsula as protected.
Under a bill introduced by U.S. Senator Patty Murray in January, 2014, logging on 20% of the Olympic National Forest's lands would be disallowed, and Wild and Scenic River designations would extend to 19 rivers, including those originating in the Olympic National Park, such as the Quinault, Hoh, Elwha, and Hamma Hamma, and some that do not, like the Middle Fork of the Satsop River.〔〔
Like the Northern Spotted Owl controversy two decades earlier,〔 the action has met opposition from some residents on and near the Olympic Peninsula who see it as a threat to their livelihoods. Handmade "Stop Wild Olympics" signs can be seen in the Aberdeen area and on the peninsula, expressing displeasure,〔〔 and an opposition group, Working Wild Olympics, was set up in 2011.〔 The effort is said to have the support of dozens of "major hunting and fishing orgaizations" who see it as a way to sustain elk, salmon and other fish.〔〔 Debate on the topic in 2014 has included community meetings drawing hundreds of individuals on both sides, and full-page advertisements in local newspapers.〔
An episode of ''This American Land'' concerning the Wild Olympics proposal showed nationally on PBS in 2014.〔
