Book · Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1986

OSTI ID:6818410

Field hearings in five Nevada cities sought public comment on S. 722, which would incorporate federal forest lands into the National Wilderness Preservation System. At issue was the need to restrict public lands to a single use and the economic and social impact on a state which is 87% federally owned. The nearly 400 witnesses included those involved in recreation and tourism, sportsmen and trappers, environmental groups, local governments and Chambers of Commerce, resource industries, as well as private citizens. Their testimony followed the test of S. 722.
