Summary: The commenter opposes any revisions to BLM Manual 6330 that would weaken protections for wilderness areas. They argue that allowing roads, motorized use, or logging would permanently destroy wilderness character and urge the BLM to preserve existing standards.
I strongly oppose any revision to “BLM 6330: BLM Manual 6330, Management of Wilderness Study Areas” that would weaken protections for wilderness areas, lands with wilderness characteristics, or recommended, proposed, and eligible wilderness areas. We must protect and save these lands for generations to come and for wildlife.
Once we admit roads, motorized use, or logging into these places, the wilderness character is destroyed, and no future Congress can reverse the damage. Our loss is permanent.
The Bureau of Land Management has offered no sound justification for reversing decades of settled protections. The proposed change has no documented basis and runs counter to the clear weight of public opinion.
Please preserve existing standards without change. Keep America’s wild lands wild.
