This dataset provides descriptive and location information for the Sequoia National Forest Land Management Plan 2023 Recommended Wilderness Management Area. Management Areas, sometimes called Land Allocations or Prescriptions, are required as part of a Land Management Plan (LMP), often referred to as Forest Plan. These plans detail how certain areas or land types will be managed.

The Sequoia National Forest plan revision area and the Giant Sequoia National Monument were evaluated as part of the 2012 Planning Rule wilderness recommendation process. As a result of the process, the Monarch Wilderness Addition – South within the Giant Sequoia National Monument is recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System.
