Everything about Wilderness Study Area totally explained
A
wilderness study area (WSA) contains undeveloped
United States federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, and managed to preserve its natural conditions. WSAs are not included in the
National Wilderness Preservation System until the
United States Congress passes wilderness legislation.
On
Bureau of Land Management lands, a WSA is a roadless area that has been inventoried (but not designated by Congress) and found to have wilderness characteristics as described in Section 603 of the
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 and Section 2(c) of the
Wilderness Act of 1964. BLM manages wilderness study areas to protect their value as wilderness until Congress decides whether or not to designate them as wilderness. Wilderness bills often include so-called "release language" that eliminates WSAs not selected for wilderness designation.
Some WSAs are managed exactly the same as
wilderness areas, and the rules for others permit activities that are generally excluded from wilderness. For example, some WSAs allow
mountain bikes and
off-road vehicles.
