		Wilderness Discovery placed them in an unfamiliar environment, far removed from their accustomed culture, where they were faced with completing difficult communal tasks, requiring substantial cooperation and social skills, as well as the rigors of hiking with a 30 lb.

	From Classical to Urban Wilderness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The cognitive dimension of wilderness refers then to the (misperceived) wildness within the beings who are part of wild nature, it is not the mere physical surroundings but the claim of those surroundings on the mentalities of its inhabitants.
		The idea of the classical wilderness is of course a concept that is constantly going through revisions and so the relative existence of these characteristics, as applied to certain spaces, may indicate a kind of wilderness in transition.
		Certainly wilderness on the classical account as identified in these qualities is a cultural construction with an identifiable history,5 and as an antidote to this view, the romantic conception is likewise a cultural construction created for a certain purpose.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Disney (White Wilderness)
		Disney's White Wilderness was filmed in Alberta, Canada, which is not a native habitat for lemmings and has no outlet to the sea.
		The Arctic rodents were placed on a snow-covered turntable and filmed from various angles to produce a "migration" sequence; afterwards, the helpless creatures were transported to a cliff overlooking a river and herded into the water.
		White Wilderness does not depict an actual lemming migration — at no time are more than a few dozen lemmings ever shown on the screen at once.

	University of Arizona Press - The Nature of Cities
		This new collection of essays sharpens the focus on the nature of cities by exploring the facets of an urban ecocriticism, by reminding city dwellers of their place in ecosystems, and by emphasizing the importance of this connection in understanding urban life and culture.
		The editors—both raised in small towns but now living in major urban areas—are especially concerned with the sociopolitical construction of all environments, both natural and manmade.
		Following an opening interview with Andrew Ross exploring the general parameters of urban ecocriticism, they present essays that explore urban nature writing, city parks, urban "wilderness," ecofeminism and the city, and urban space.

		So when my snowshoeing plans on a recent Saturday were scrapped - because I left my wallet at home, unable to afford a day's pass to Lapham Peak or an annual state park pass - I decided to hike the streets in my neighborhood.

		Hopefully, I'll meet more of my neighbors, too, which is something I cannot do in the wilderness.
