Lynn Wilson Astrology

During a recent visit with Lynn, our discussions turned towards the importance of undeveloped public lands and their role in providing social benefits of adventure, challenge, and even healing for the human spirit. These benefits are especially available in federal lands which Congress has designated as Wilderness. Many people don’t understand, appreciate, or even know about these lands and the powerful opportunities they offer for humans. These benefits are so well described in the Wilderness Act of 1964, an unusual piece of legislation containing almost poetic language.

As the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service representative to the federal, interagency Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center, I have come to appreciate the national system of Wilderness lands, and would like to encourage more people’s awareness. Our website, www.wilderness.net , is a great resource for learning about the National Wilderness Preservation System of over 105 million acres of land, which is only approximately 4% of public lands in the United States. You can also find all Wilderness legislation, findings from research at the Aldo Leopold Wilderness REsearch Institute, and even download wilderness lesson plans on the Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center site. I encourage everyone to log on, make it your “home Page”, and learn about and support your system of Wilderness lands.
