Marble Mountain Fossil Bed Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. Rachel Carson To me, a wilderness is where the flow of wildness is essentially uninterrupted by technology; without wilderness the world is a cage. David Brower There is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here. The Eagles Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is! Black Elk In wildness lies the preservation of the world. Henry David Thoreau 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. Wilderness Act - Sept. 3, 1964 |
