Are private property rights adversely impacted by wilderness designation?

0

No. Wilderness designation will not adversely affect private property. Wilderness designations apply only to federally owned lands. If you own property outside the wilderness boundary (even land near or adjacent to the federal Wilderness), wilderness designation does not infringe on your ability to use or develop your land. In fact, studies show that property values go up in areas near protected federal lands and rivers.
