 From Little Rock Public Radio, I'm Nathan Treese. Last week, U.S. Representative French Hill, Republican of Little Rock, introduced legislation to protect wilderness near the Ouachita National Forest, according to the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Hill testified to the U.S. House Subcommittee on the need for preserving the 2,200 acres of wilderness. Flatside's a beautiful area of the natural state, noted for its ridges, summits that are part of the Ouachita Mountains and rise above the forest.
