Summary
The BLM provides oversight for 222 wilderness areas with 8.7 million acres in 10 Western States. Wilderness areas are special places where the earth and its community of life are essentially undisturbed. They retain a primeval character, without permanent improvements and generally appear to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature. Enjoy photos by Bob Wick on BLM Wilderness Areas throughout the state.
