Here. in the <br />wilderness threshold, is.an unequalled opportunity for interpretation <br />of the meaning of wilderness. <br /> <br />T <br />.J.: <br /> <br />Class III lands also serve important research needs of the Service, as <br />well as of many independent researchers and institutions of higher <br />learning. <br /> <br />] <br /> <br />The only facilities planned in these "natural environment" lands are <br />the minimum required for public enjoyment, health, safety, <br />preservation, and protection of the features, such as one-way motor <br />nature trails, small visitor overlooks. informal picnic sites, short <br />nature walks, and wilgerness.type uses. Such limited facilities must <br />be in complete harmony with the natural environment. <br /> <br />] <br /> <br />11 <br />J...i <br /> <br />] <br /> <br />Class IV lands are those which contain unique natural features. <br />These lands usually represent the most fragile and most precious <br />values of a natural area. Class IV identifies the terrain and objects of <br />scenic splendor, natural wonder, or scientific importance that are the <br />heart of the park. These are the lands which must have the highest <br />order of protection so that they will remain "unimpaired for the <br />enjoyment of future generations." Nothing in the way of human use <br />should be permitted on Class I V lands that intrude upon or may in <br />any '-''lay damage or alter the scene. The sites and features are <br />irreplaceable. They may range in size from large areas within the <br />Grand Canyon to small sites such as Old Faithful Geyser or a sequoia <br />. grove. <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />n <br /> <br />TI <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />Class V are the primitive lands that have remained pristine and <br />undisturbed as a part of our natural inheritance. They include in <br />some instances, moreover, lands which, through National Park <br />Service management, ha~e been restored by the healing processes of <br />nature to a primeval state. There are no mining. domestic stock <br />grazing, water impoundments, or other intrusions of man to mar <br />their character and detract from the solitude and quiet of the natural <br />scene. The protection and maintenance of natural conditions and a <br />wilderness atmosphere are paramount management objectives. The <br />only facilities allowed in these lands are of the type mentioned in <br />the Wilderness Use and Management Policy statement. <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />u <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />Class VI are the lands, including historic structures, of historical or <br />cultural significance, such as the agricultural community of Cades <br />Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />Wilderness Hearings <br />One of the finest new public land planning procedures introduced by <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />I'. <br />'.j <br /> <br />1] <br />
