Kalmiopsis Rivers

The Kalmiopsis Wildlands is a uniquely special area in and around Southern Oregon’s Kalmiopsis Wilderness. It contains an unusually high concentration of unspoiled Wild and Scenic rivers. .

“I think this is probably the most important, the most biologically significant, unprotected landscape in the American West”

– Secretary of the Interior under President Clinton, Bruce Babbitt
