Definition Of Wilderness.

DEFINITION OF WILDERNESS 
(c) A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own 
works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where 
the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where 
man himself is a visitor who does not remain. An area of wilderness is 
further defined to mean in this Act an area of undeveloped Federal 
land retaining its primeval character and influence, without 
permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected 
and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions and which (1) 
generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of 
nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable; (2) 
has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and 
unconfined type of recreation; (3) has at least five thousand acres of 
land or is of sufficient size as to make practicable its preservation and 
use in an unimpaired condition; and (4) may also contain ecological, 
geological, or other features of scientific, educational, scenic, or 
historical value.
