                   Wilderness Awaits in the Okefenokee Swamp

   Fifty years ago, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Wilderness Act
   designating some federally owned lands as wilderness areas. These large
   tracts of land had few roads or buildings, offered opportunities for
   outdoor recreation, and were important because of their educational,
   scientific or historical value. One such pristine area is the
   Okefenokee Swamp, a 180-thousand hectare wilderness located in the
   southeastern part of the United States in the state of Georgia.
