Direct Action Directory - You can help save our Environment
It is us, the younger generations, that hold the vision and have the energy to make a difference. This is the time in your life to explore your world as well as your freedom and independence. Your participation in direct action is essential to your life experience and to the future of the earth. We can save a forest. We can save a river. We can save a community.
To prepare for your journey into the world of activism, you need to open your mind and your soul. All of these campaigns are at times emotionally, physically and intellectually intense and challenging. You will learn along the way, but it is to everyone's advantage if you personally learn as much as you can about a campaign before you come. Your journey will inevitably be a very unique and empowering experience. Please have respect for cultural values and a diversity of perspectives. To ensure democracy, most of the campaigns 'advertised' in this directory work by the consensus process. Your voice will always be heard and your personal freedom and independence respected.
Join hands with fellow passionate people and break the chains that prevent justice, freedom and equality. To fully respect all life is to deliberately act in defense of ecological and cultural diversity and integrity.

Your journey begins now.

This directory includes only a few of the worthwhile campaigns to preserve ecological and cultural diversity. The purpose of this directory is to give you the contacts you need to find beautiful people, in beautiful places, moving in beautiful ways, so that you too can contribute to positive change.

The Earth and all of her life beings need you NOW!
Take a step towards discovering the amazing support network and community of activists by spending your summer at a direct action base camp.

Directions To Cove/Mallard base camp in Idaho
When traveling from the NORTH, WEST or SOUTH, you will eventually end up on US 95 and arrive in Grangeville, Idaho. Turn off of US 95, follow the signs that say to Elk City which lead through the center of Grangeville, and head north through town. About 300 yards past the Maverick Gas Station (on your right), at the north end of town, turn right on State Highway 13. (NOTE: Grangeville is the last place you can get gas, as Elk City doesn't serve environmentalists) Just before you turn off on this road, you can see the Nez Perce National Forest Supervisor's office just ahead on your left. Continue on the main road one mile. Follow the main road around a 90-degree bend (to the left) at the abandoned drive-in theater. Don't continue straight or you will end up at a ski resort. Follow this road (about eight miles) until it merges with State Highway 14, where you will turn/merge east. From here the directions are the same regardless of where you are coming from. When traveling from the EAST, travel west on US Highway 12 until Kooskia. Turn south on Idaho State Highway 14.
From here go about 40 miles (about 60 miles, if going from Kooskia), until you reach the giant timber mill (Shearer Lumber, the corporation cutting the heart out of Cove/Mallard). Here the road forks. Take the right fork (Forest Service road 222) toward Red River (don't continue on Highway 14 to Elk City). Continue on this road for about 15 miles, till you reach the Red River Ranger Station. Just before the station, the road forks. Take the right fork (don't continue on the road toward Red River Hot Springs), which is still Forest Service road 222, and go past the Ranger Station (Last chance pay phone!). Continue up this road for about 17 miles to Dixie Summit where it turns to gravel. At this junction turn right and travel to the town of Dixie. The town of Dixie is rather long (about one and one half miles), pass through the center of town and continue past the cemetery. At a place called the Govens turn left (road 222D) and continue up the road for about 4 miles. This is a rough road, do not take any forks even if those forks look like better roads. They lead to private land. You will pass two signs pointing out trails, spaced at about mile intervals. After the last sign (pointing to a turnoff to the right leading to the comstock mines) continue about 1/4 miles. You will see a steep rough road going off to the left with a sign notifying you to continue to the other entrance. Continue past the signs and follow the directional signs that lead to the base camp parking lot.
Cove and Mallard are the names of two adjacent inventoried roadless areas in central Idaho. Central Idaho is largest contiguous forested area in the lower 48 states - the last vestige of truly wild lands with the greatest diversity of species in the the northern Rocky Mountains. The region is home to the endangered grey wolf, black bear, lynx,wolverine, bald eagles, and chinook salmon and bull trout, recently placed on the Endangered Species List.

Peace in the Forest is a Direct Action Environmental Directory for people who are interested in saving our wildlife and natural resources. Opportunities are described where YOU can make a difference. Help save our environment - a forest, a river, a community - our Earth. Base camps are located in the United States of America.
