In May 2016 the state announced the completion of the largest land acquisition in more than 100 years, The Boreas Ponds tract, which was the final purchase from a 2012 agreement with the Nature Conservancy. Should the land be designated as "wild forest" or "wilderness?" The vocabulary might not seem like a big difference but it's at the very heart of a debate.
