The following paragraph is
from the National Forest Management Act. It states:
EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL WILDERNESS AREAS
Carefully evaluate potential wilderness areas to
determine their suitability for inclusion in the National Wilderness
Preservation System and to determine the mix of land uses that best meet public
needs. An area recommended as suitable
for potential wilderness must meet the tests of capability, availability, and
need. In addition to the inherent wilderness quality it
possesses, an area must provide opportunities and experiences that are
dependent upon or enhanced by a wilderness environment. Also consider the
ability of the Forest Service to manage the area as wilderness.
