Actually, he called wild lands 'undeveloped or
under-developed'.

"Camping grounds, of course, require wild lands. These in
America are fortunately still available. They are in every
main region of the country. They are the undeveloped or
under-developed areas."

He says nothing about leaving them that way...

The trail, shelter camps, private domiciles around or near
the camps, and moving people away from cities and into rural
living communities are among the developments he proposes.
