Bill overview
This bill directs the Department of the Interior to conduct a comprehensive study of the Deerfield River, which runs through Massachusetts and Vermont, to determine if it meets the criteria for designation as a National Wild and Scenic River. The study will consider the entire river and its major tributaries. If the river is found to be suitable, it could be added to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, protecting its natural resources and recreational opportunities. This legislation aims to provide a formal assessment of the river’s potential for preservation.
