Wise Use movement
An ideological consortium that opposes federal authority over rural public lands. Most adherents reside in the far West, where the federal government exercises substantial ownership and control of public land. Wise Use proponents are an offshoot of the larger Patriot anti-government movement. Specifically their activists support the return of federal land to individuals and local governments and an end to most environmental and rural zoning regulations.
