area within which such lands or interests in lands are lo-
cated.

with respect to fish and wildlife management activities, in-
cluding water development, predator control, transplanting
animals, stocking fish, hunting, fishing and trapping.
(e) PROHIBITION OF BUFFER ZONES.—The Congress

within a wilderness shall not preclude such activities or
uses up to the boundary of the wilderness area.

tinue to be maintained and repaired by any such entity.

pair, modification, or replacement of such existing facili-
ties, as provided in section 3(i).

retary shall assure nonexclusive access from time to time
to those sites by Native Americans for such purposes, in-
cluding (but not limited to) wood gathering for personal
use or collecting plants or herbs for religious or medicinal

Freedom Act’’).
