Wilderness Act Anniversary

Via USFWS National Wildlife Refuge System:

Celebrate 50 years of wilderness! On Sept. 3, 1964, President Johnson signed the Wilderness Act into law, protecting our wildest places. The nation’s 110 million wilderness acres includes soul-stirring lands on 63 wildlife refuges.
