Abstract
Conservation organizations have been primary forces in the establishment of wilderness areas throughout the United States. They have also been actual participants in wilderness recreation, particularly through sponsored trips. Preliminary results indicate that these trips have a tremendous impact on the wilderness resource because of the large-size parties, sedentary camping habits, and the large amount of bulky tentage and equipment employed. Basic policy changes are suggested as a means of protecting the wilderness landscape.
