How much is too much? By federal definition, Wilderness is "an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammelled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." Wilderness is to be preserved, its enduring beauty to be enjoyed by future generations. Wilderness cannot be used for forest produc tion or for developed recreation. Access is only by foot, horseback, or canoe. There are no picnic tables, toilets, roads, firepits, or lean-tos allowed in Wilderness. A nationwide public opinion survey last year found that nearly one-fourth of the people thought developed campgrounds were plentiful in Wilderness areas. In fact, there are none. 3 million acres more? Oregon now has over 1.2 million acres of Congress ionally-designated Wilderness. The nation has over 80 million Wilderness acres spread across 41 states. Now, Congress is consid ering adding another 3 million acres of Wilder ness in Oregon. How much is too much? If we lock up too much productive land and let Congress throw away the key how can the increasing wood product needs of America be met: In addition, there is a growing need for more campgrounds, the improved areas where most people choose to enjoy the outdoors. We feel that existing Wilderness areas are a wise use of federal land. We supported the original 1964 Wilder ness Act, and continue to support the preser vation of truly unique areas. However, further Oregon's Wilderness and Developed Forest Recreation Areas Comparative Size Wildtmtu 1,214.000 acres Developed Recreation AreM 14.420 acres arbitrary additions to the current 1.2 million acres of Wilderness already set aside in Oregon will limit both recreational opportunities and our ability to meet future demand for wood products. What you can do. It's especially important for people who work and live in communities with forest products operations to take an interest in the Wilderness issue. The just-published 1980 Oregon Timber Supply Assessment of the State Forestry De partment points out that "between 1975 and 1980 the National Forests in Oregon moved 1.16 million acres from the four timber-producing categories, 9 of the National Forest timber land, into non-timber uses, such as Wilderness." Timber supply is too important to Oregon's forest-based economy to lock up productive land without a good reason. Please write us for more information: Oregon Forest Industries Council, P.O.

When you decide how you stand on the issue, talk about it with your friends, write a letter to the editor , or call the Oregon offices of your Congressman and Senators. Together we can keep a good thing growing. OREGON FOREST INDUSTRIES COUNCIL.
