Introduction by Dr. John H, Ehrenreich: Dean of the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Range Sciences, and Director of the Wilderness Research Center at the Univeristy of Idaho.

The lecture highlights the dichotomy of number of acres owned by the government, compared to the amount of those acres that have been designated 'Wilderness'. The lecture calls for a creation of a 'Department of Natural Resources as proposed by President Carter' to better orginize and manage wilderness. Lastly the lecture details the history of the conservation of wilderness in Alaska. The final point is once again how the U.S. would benefit from a Department of Natural Resources.
