BLM Managed Lands with Wilderness Characteristics is consistent with Section 202 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), which requires the Secretary of the Interior to develop, maintain and when appropriate, revise land use plans which provide by tracts or areas for the use of public lands, and the BLM Land Use Planning Handbook, BLM has identified and begun an assessment of BLM-managed lands with wilderness characteristics outside of existing WSAs. BLM Manual 6320 - Considering Lands with Wilderness Characteristics in the BLM Land Use Planning Process, provides the guidance from which BLM considers lands with wilderness characteristic and their possible management status.
This polygon feature represents the spatial extent and boundaries of lands that are determined to have wilderness characteristics, and the management status of those lands. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 directed the Bureau to inventory and study its roadless areas for wilderness characteristics. To be designated as a Land with Wilderness Characteristics, an area has to have the following features: Size - roadless areas of at least 5,000 acres of public lands or of a manageable size OR proximity to a Wilderness Area of Wilderness Study Area, Naturalness - generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature; Opportunities - provides outstanding opportunities for solitude or primitive and unconfined types of recreation. In addition, Lands with Wilderness Characteristics often have special qualities such as ecological, geological, educational, historical, scientific and scenic values. |
