Summary: The commenter, a private individual, opposes any revisions to Manual 6320 that would weaken protections for lands with wilderness characteristics. They argue that the existing standards should be preserved to ensure the full implementation of the Wilderness Act and to protect these lands as a legacy for future generations.
I strongly oppose any revision to manual 6320 that would weaken protection for Wilderness Study Areas, lands with wilderness characteristics, recommended wilderness, and existing Wilderness. I’ve enjoyed wild places for decades. Older people like me see these places as a legacy that we pass to future generations. This policy and others ensure that the Wilderness Act and the statutes governing these lands are fully implemented. The agency has offered no justification for reversing decades of policies that have benefitted families like mine. I ask that the existing standards be preserved in full, without lowering the standard of care for these lands in any way, so that our wild lands will be protected as they have been.
