Wild and Scenic Rivers ActMany RMS members work to support the designation and management of Wild and Scenic Rivers, as part of their job or as a component of their avocation. The RMS has been instrumental in developing the first ever brochure on the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, updating the map of the National System, coordinating a symposium for the 30th anniversary of the Act and other training workshops, and many other activities. RMS members sit on the Interagency Wild and Scenic Rivers Coordinating Council (IAWSRCC) which has produced a Reference Guide containing many papers on implementing the Act.
