In this case it sounds like the land was used for cattle grazing, so it wasn't really a preserve.
Really we should designate more areas as wilderness. i.e. no machinery. Humans can still enjoy the land without roaring across them in 4x4s.

To clarify: In your view, someone using a vehicle to access a remote area is not "enjoying the land"?
Perhaps you mean that the presence of a motorized vehicle reduces your own enjoyment.
(Personal bias: I am an avid mountain biker, occasional dirt bike rider, and feel the wilderness designation is harsh and used excessively).
