[at-l] national wildlife refuge

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

Depends!!!

I was a volunteer at Patuxent Research Refuge and National Wildlife Visitor
Center.  We worked very hard at keeping the visitor intrusion on wildlife
habitat to a minimum, while maintaining "traditional" use.  True backcountry
environment?  Nope.  Lots of conflict on roles and practices?  Yep.  Camping
and roaming at will?  Nope.
