Talk:Bristol Cliffs Wilderness

Actual size of wilderness
The Eastern Wilderness Act of 1975 set aside 6500 acre for the Bristol Cliffs Wilderness but Wilderness Connect claims that the area consists of 3750 acre. I am unable to resolve the discrepancy. Tom Scavo (talk) 20:18, 27 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Apparently 2500 acre were subsequently removed from Bristol Cliffs Wilderness. "This marked the only time in United States history that acreage was actually withdrawn from a wilderness area." I haven't been able to confirm that, however. Tom Scavo (talk) 23:11, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Case solved. See the main article for details. Tom Scavo (talk) 00:51, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
