Bill Intelligence
The bill aims to release around 700,000 acres of wilderness study areas to be managed in accordance with land and resource management plans.
This will allow for enhanced sportsmen opportunities, improved public access, and conduct of wildlife habitat and wildfire mitigation projects.
The release and improved management of land will be done in accordance with applicable environmental and administrative laws, based on local input and multiple-use and sustained yield principles.
Specific areas like the Middle Fork Judith, Hoodoo Mountain, and Wales Creek Wilderness Study Areas will no longer be subject to certain wilderness study area designations.
