The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act is enforced up to the present. Rivers are
periodically added to the protected list. From 8
rivers covering 850 miles in 1968, the system has grown by the
mid-1990s to include 151 units comprising parts of 212 rivers that cover 10,500 miles.
Saylor's conservation legacy has remained a vital part of our country's efforts to
preserve the natural environment.
Saylor was the recipient of many awards for his involvement in
conservation efforts. From the Ozark National Scenic Riverways Act in 1964, the first
federally protected rivers, to the Wilderness Act and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act,
Saylor's accomplishments have been praised as essential to the preservation of our
country's natural scenic resources.
