Burbank Wilderness Area designation hails from county, not delegation

The Citizens for Public Access (CPA) this week charged that it is Douglas County's desire to create a Wilderness Area that reaches to the back door of some Smith Valley residences--not the desire of Nevada's Congressional delegation. The Douglas County legislation being sought in Congress is a Conservation Bill that seeks to designate the portion of the Burbank Canyon Wilderness Study Area (WSA) a Wilderness Area for 12,333 acres. The CPA had consistently opposed the creation of this wilderness area designation, citing four Bureau of Land Management reviews which concluded, each time, that the area is not suitable for wilderness designation...more

Nothing will stop the wilderness advocates from pushing the designation of land even remotely related to wilderness.  Not four studies by the BLM or anything else.  They've totally adulterated the wilderness concept.
