The document discusses efforts by the Friends of Shenandoah Mountain to permanently protect the wild areas of Shenandoah Mountain in Virginia. Their mission is to protect the mountain's roadless areas, forests, streams, recreation opportunities, and status as headwaters for important rivers. They have worked to build support among stakeholders like timber groups, hunters, and recreation advocates. This has led to a joint recommendation to the Forest Service and a stakeholders agreement signed by various local organizations supporting balanced protection and management. The group aims to introduce federal legislation to permanently protect Shenandoah Mountain.
