FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







PRESERVING UTAH WILDERNESS
1995 FWOC Resolution No. 6:

The Utah Wilderness lands are matchless in their beauty and grandeur, and they contain physiographic features that are especially unique.  It is absolutely necessary that 5.7 million acres of Utah roadless areas to be added to the national Wilderness System.  Protection of these remaining wild lands is essential to ensuring their unique biodiversity and fragile ecosystems are maintained.
All lands contained in the proposed wilderness are within the Public Domain, and thus are the natural heritage of all United States citizens, both living and yet to be born.

The federal steward of these lands, the Bureau of Land Management, has failed to comply with the National  Wilderness Act of 1964 particularly those provisions requiring identification and recommendation of suitable wilderness within the periods specified by law.
Further delay in the protection of these magnificent wildlands will hasten degradation of their physical, biological, and aesthetic values.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs goes on record in support of the immediate addition of 5.7 million acres within the state of Utah as areas of National Wilderness in accordance with the National Wilderness act of 1964.
