	Skagit Wild and Scenic River System - Welcome! USDA Forest Service
		The Skagit Wild and Scenic River System is managed to protect and enchance the free-flowing condition, water quality and outstanding values for which the river was designated, while providing for public recreation and resource uses that do not adversely impact or degrade those values.
		The rivers are vital to valley residents and visitors, as the ebb and flow of moving waters influence their lives.
		The role of the Forest Service on nonfederal lands is to monitor activities within the river corridor and, for any proposed activity that is likely to have adverse impacts on the values of the river system, to work cooperatively with state and local agencies, and landowner(s) to resolve.
