/*Celebrating 50 Years of Wilderness*/**with Kevin Proescholdt,
Conservation Director for Wilderness Watch**
**
A half-century ago, President Johnson signed the 1964 Wilderness
Act.This landmark law took 8 years of work to make it through Congress,
and established wilderness protections for the first time in the federal
statutes.It also established the National Wilderness Preservation System
of 9.1 million acres, which included (with some struggle) the
million-acre Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Today, the National Wilderness
Preservation System has grown to 110 million acres.Kevin Proescholdt
will describe the background and importance of the Wilderness Act, its
many successes, and some of the challenges remaining ahead.

habitats that support myriad bird species.
