The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead reports that locals are irate over a Department of Interior proposal to designate additional areas of Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park as wilderness. Interested parties in the community worry that enlargement of the wilderness area, particularly in the North Unit, will discourage the development of tourist attractions.The proposed change would raise the number of wilderness acres to well over 75% of the territory in the North Unit.
