Ensures activities would continue outside wilderness boundaries: After hearing from MT Pilots Association and others about concerns that new wilderness could create a buffer precluding certain uses nearby, the Coalition included language to explicitly ensure that overflights and other non wilderness activities could continue next to any of the Wilderness additions.  There are no wilderness buffer zones intended.

 

Explicitly acknowledges cattle grazing and maintenance of grazing facilities can continue unchanged:  After hearing additional feedback from local ranchers the bill was revised to become even more explicit that grazing and the maintenance of grazing facilities will be permitted to continue in the wilderness wherever it is already established.
