Wilderness

American Wilderness

In 1964, in a nearly unanimous vote, the United States Congress enacted legislation to protect American wilderness.^[1] The Wilderness Act was put into place to secure for present and future generations the benefits of wilderness. The United States was the first country in the world to define and designate wilderness areas through law. Through it more than 105 million acres of wilderness have been preserved so that people can hike it, hunt in it, take pictures in it, stargaze in it. Wilderness also provides clean water and air and places to see wildlife in a natural setting. It seems that we need and love wilderness.Read More »Heart of the Matter: Hearing the Call of the Wild (1 Sam. 23:14-29) Chris Altrock – July 16, 2017
