As agreed with your office, we gathered information on areas managed by two agencies: the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLN) and the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Specifically, this report provides information on (1) legislative guidance and the agency policies governing wilderness study area management, (2) the various activities and uses occurring in the agencies’ study areas, (3) the ways these activities and uses affect the areas, and (4) agency actions to monitor and restrict these uses and to repair damage resulting from them. Appendixes I and II provide data on the number, acreage, and locations of wilderness study areas managed by BLM and the Forest Service, as well as data on the types of uses occurring in the areas.

  • Badlands Wilderness Area
    National Park Service 25216 Ben Reifel Road U.S. Department of the Interior Interior, South Dakota 57750 (605) 433 - 5361 Badlands National Park http://www.nps.gov/badl/ Division of Resource Education Where the Earth and Its Community of Life Are Untrammeled by Man: Badlands Wilderness Area The Wilderness Act gives a definition to special places in our National Parks, Forests, and other protected lands. Passed in 1964, this law gave a tangible description to something that seemed to be almost uniquely American: wilderness. Considered to be one of the most eloquent documents in American government, the Act requires federally designated wilderness to be of sufficient size to permit natural systems – communities of life – to thrive “untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.” Wilderness offers itself to each of us on our own terms. Some of us are content to experience wilderness of the mind – it’s enough to know wilderness exists in the world. Others are compelled to explore designated wilderness to take on its challenges. Hopefully, we do not aspire to conquer wilderness. The legal concept of wilderness has a companion inside all humans: wildness. It is this primitive quality of life that causes innovation, wonder, and exploration. Valuing the wildness in ourselves and wilderness as an American landscape brings us closer to becoming active members in the “community of life” described in the Wilderness Act. A Sense of Place The wilderness area of Badlands National Park is the largest prairie wilderness in the United States. Established on October 20, 1976 under the provisions of the Wilderness Act, the Badlands Wilderness Area consists of 64,144 acres, or over 25% of the total park.
