225.2Capacity is a state of mindNUTMEG::ABRAHAMSONFri Mar 09 1990 09:0613
    Marc,
    
    Thanks.
    
    Is this refuge a State or Federal area? If Federal, I was under the 
    impression that there are no laws for or against clothes off.
    
    Are there other areas of the refuge that can be used during July to
    Labor day?
    
    Thanks

225.4The Feds ...GUCCI::BENSONFri Mar 09 1990 18:4218
    National Wildlife Refuges do not have a uniform policy regarding
    nudism.  Your example at Parker River is the typical approach. 
    The NWR at Trustom Pond, aka Moonstone, is similar.  The NWR at
    Assateague, Virginia, is something else again, and has elected to
    enforce the rules of the local county (Accomack) in which it is
    located.  
    
    Amongst the Feds who control land, the Forest Service is the most
    enlightented in my opinion.  Next comes the National Park Service.
    Then the Wildlife folks.  And last, the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
    
    There are lots of exceptions to this ordering.  The Federal model
    seems to be one of centralized policy with distributed execution.
    
    I think it would make an interesting topic in itself to note and
    compare these policies.
