Unprecedented Gift Preserves 8,000 Acres of ‘The Land Between the Rivers’ in Alabama: ‘America’s Amazon. When considering the great victories of America’s conservationists, we tend to think of the sights and landscapes emblematic of the West, but there’s also a rich history of acknowledging the value of the wetlands of America’s south. These include such vibrant ecosystems as the Everglades, the Great Dismal Swamp, the floodplains of the Congaree River, and “America’s Amazon” also known as the “Land Between the Rivers”—recently preserved forever thanks to generous donors and work by the Nature Conservancy (TNC).

Which leads me to question why they would allow the public to use it for recreation as much as possible.

So generous of the donor along with the government money to preserve those lands.
Even places like the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota (which Ernest Oberholtzer fought so hard to preserve) have to deal with how many people are allowed to enjoy the area and struggle with groups of people trying to make it possible to use motorized boats in areas.

Kerri a lot of thought certainly would have to go into how people are allowed to use the area.
