Idaho Wilderness Plan Prompts National Debate
The Forest Service backs 1.5 million acres in central Idaho as wilderness amid energy shortages and local opposition. The Idaho Primitive Area spans 1,224,189 acres with 1,147,794 proposed as wilderness and 181,856 as adjacent land. 78,282 acres may be excluded due to human activity. The piece outlines wilderness criteria, hearings, and mineral potential highlighted by a 1966 71 survey.
