Wilderness Bill Adds Area to Uintas Wilderness
The House last week approved a bill including 240000 acres of primitive High Uintas land in a national wilderness plan. The measure could extend to other areas and heads back to the Senate where a 1963 version had approval. The act would set nine million acres of federal lands in a wilderness system with no roads or development, while an additional 5.5 million acres in primitive designation await review by the Agriculture Department.
