Wilderness Management
Wilderness management involves the stewardship and protection of natural areas that are largely untouched by human development. This practice aims to preserve the ecological integrity of these regions while allowing for recreational activities, such as hiking and camping, that promote public enjoyment and appreciation of nature.
Effective wilderness management includes monitoring wildlife populations, maintaining trails, and controlling invasive species. Agencies like the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service play crucial roles in implementing policies and practices that ensure these wild spaces remain healthy and accessible for future generations.
