Does BLM wilderness management differ from management by other agencies?
Although the Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, and National Park Service have their own specific laws and policies for resource management, they all respond to the same Congressional direction and intent within the Wilderness Act. Policy guidance may be somewhat different from one agency to the next, but overall management is essentially the same. National Park Service wilderness areas usually do not allow grazing or hunting, but this is because National Parks normally do not allow these activities, not because of wilderness designation.
