Virginia Wilderness Additions Act of 2023

This bill designates approximately 1,000 acres as an addition to the Rough Mountain Wilderness and 4,600 acres as a new wilderness area within the Rich Hole Wilderness in Virginia's George Washington National Forest. It incorporates the Rich Hole Addition into the existing Rich Hole Wilderness Area within five years of the bill's enactment or after completing specific water quality projects. The bill allows limited motorized equipment use for water quality improvement projects until incorporation, requiring the least impact on wilderness character. These designations directly affect the management of these forest lands under the Wilderness Act.
