- mrosett 3y agoForested is not wilderness. Most forests have lots of roads, power lines running through them, etc. You're just trying to redefine a defined term.
- willcipriano 3y agoPrior to 1946 there was no wilderness as the BLM didn't exist to define it as such. Or they don't own the definition.
- nullindividual 3y agoCongress owns the definition via the Wilderness Act, which are tracts of land with no human presence or impact. Perhaps that will give you context in this discussion.
