It seems that there is a perception that this bill totally closes off the land to human access. To be specific, wilderness designation would close the land to development (things like paving roads through the landscape or industrial development such as mining and drilling).
Wilderness designation does NOT prevent people from enjoying the land. Quite the opposite; it ensures that people CAN enjoy the land as it currently exists for many years to come. It allows us to explore wild lands that are unblemished with development. You will have access to these lands – hiking, camping, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, bird watching, photography, etc. Basically, things that don’t permanently scar the land.
Consider this: turning natural backcountry into developed frontcountry is generally an irreversible act. This is what is meant by protecting and preserving the land for future generations.
