Deerfield River Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2025

Bill 119 hr 2451, also known as the Deerfield River Wild and Scenic Study Act, aims to amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act by directing the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study of the Deerfield River.

The study will evaluate the river's scenic, recreational, geologic, cultural, and historic values to determine if it meets the criteria for designation as a wild and scenic river.

If the study finds that the Deerfield River is suitable for inclusion in the national wild and scenic rivers system, it could receive additional protections and resources to preserve its natural beauty and recreational opportunities for future generations. Overall, Bill 119 hr 2451 seeks to promote the conservation and preservation of the Deerfield River by conducting a thorough study to assess its eligibility for designation as a wild and scenic river.
