1964 wilderness act

The 1964 Wilderness act describes wilderness as an area...

• "Where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man..."
• "Which generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable..."
• "Where man himself is a visitor who does not remain..."
• "Which has an outstanding opportunity for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation..."
