For the past 40 years here there have been wilderness study areas with severe road and use restrictions. This year Obama created three big new wilderness areas that didn’t include all the wilderness study areas. Naturally, the locals said ok, now get rid of those study areas since you have your wilderness. Oh no, that will take a long time to do, if we can do it at all.
The federal land grabbers too often close off public lands using scams like wilderness study areas * as if * Congress had acted.
