The primary purpose of the Wilderness Act is to preserve the wilderness character of protected lands. The question for stewards of the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) lies in determining the definition and assessment of wilderness character. The Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute (Leopold) has spent years researching this issue and developing technical tools and protocols that guide managers in implementing monitoring and stewardship systems for wilderness character.

Wilderness field professionals are the boots-on-the-ground task force of wilderness stewardship. They go on to become wilderness managers, administrators, policy makers, and leads. How they conceptualize wilderness character, live in wilderness, and maintain wilderness lands sets the stage not only for wilderness health but for the future of the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS).
