Spatial feature data is stored in the geodatabase in geographic coordinates (decimal degrees). LSRS data layers are overlaid in various combinations to generate data for the 28 LAR tables. Acreage values are projected and calculated from the geometries of the overlay features. Geographic coordinates are projected using the Alaska Albers Equal Area Conic projection for Region 10 (Alaska) and the North American Albers Equal Area Conic projection for the other 8 Forest Service regions. Spatial data in the LSRS is captured and processed using very small precision and tolerance parameters. However, LAR acres are reported as integer (whole) numbers. A comparison of summed acreages from different LAR tables may identify modest, and statistically insignificant differences. A small part of the difference can be attributed to spatial feature vertical alignment errors. The greater part of the difference is due to numeric rounding. Rounding error averages less than 0.000005% of the total acres. (± 10 in 192,000,000 acres). Which sum is right? Both are correct, though, in theory, the dataset with the fewest numbers subject to rounding is probably a more accurate accounting. Hence, Table 1 (National and Regional Areas Summary) is more accurate than the sum of the values from Table 6 (NFS Acreage by State, Congressional District, and County). ii Land Areas Report – Glossary of Terms Total/Gross Acreage NFS Acreage Other Acreage Sum of National Areas that fall within Areas located within NFS Forest System (NFS) one of the NFS boundaries that are not and non-NFS designations described federally owned or acreages. below. administered by the Forest Service.

    Wilderness Visitors and Recreation Impacts: Baseline Data Available for Twentieth Century Conditions

    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

Report # SC-IMBCR-06 Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Connecting people, birds and land Mission: Conserving birds and their habitats through science, education and land stewardship Vision: Native bird populations are sustained in healthy ecosystems Bird Conservancy of the Rockies conserves birds and their habitats through an integrated approach of science, education and land stewardship. Our work radiates from the Rockies to the Great Plains, Mexico and beyond. Our mission is advanced through sound science, achieved through empowering people, realized through stewardship and sustained through partnerships. Together, we are improving native bird populations, the land and the lives of people. Core Values: 1. Science provides the foundation for effective bird conservation. 2. Education is critical to the success of bird conservation. 3. Stewardship of birds and their habitats is a shared responsibility. Goals: 1. Guide conservation action where it is needed most by conducting scientifically rigorous monitoring and research on birds and their habitats within the context of their full annual cycle. 2. Inspire conservation action in people by developing relationships through community outreach and science-based, experiential education programs. 3. Contribute to bird population viability and help sustain working lands by partnering with landowners and managers to enhance wildlife habitat. 4. Promote conservation and inform land management decisions by disseminating scientific knowledge and developing tools and recommendations. Suggested Citation: White, C. M., M. F. McLaren, N. J.

C. Hedlund and G. A. Nowlan, U.S. Geological Survey and R. H. Wood, n, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and the Joint Conference Report on Senate Bill 4, 88th Congress, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Study Area, Pike and San Isabel National Forests, Lake, Park, and Chaffee Counties, Colo. The area was established as a wilderness study area by Public Law 96-560, December 22, 1980. MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL SUMMARY STATEMENT During 1981 and 1982, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted field investigations to evaluate the mineral resource potential of the Buffalo Peaks Wilde-ness Study Area.

    Introduction

    00i-xvi_Mohl-East-00-FM 2/18/06 8:25 AM Page xv INTRODUCTION During the rapid development of the United States after the American Rev- olution, and during most of the 1900s, many forests in the United States were logged, with the logging often followed by devastating fires; ranchers converted the prairies and the plains into vast pastures for livestock; sheep were allowed to venture onto heretofore undisturbed alpine areas; and great amounts of land were turned over in an attempt to find gold, silver, and other minerals. In 1875, the American Forestry Association was born. This organization was asked by Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz to try to change the con- cept that most people had about the wasting of our natural resources. One year later, the Division of Forestry was created within the Department of Agriculture. However, land fraud continued, with homesteaders asked by large lumber companies to buy land and then transfer the title of the land to the companies. In 1891, the American Forestry Association lobbied Con- gress to pass legislation that would allow forest reserves to be set aside and administered by the Department of the Interior, thus stopping wanton de- struction of forest lands. President Benjamin Harrison established forest re- serves totaling 13 million acres, the first being the Yellowstone Timberland Reserve, which later became the Shoshone and Teton national forests. Gifford Pinchot was the founder of scientific forestry in the United States, and President Theodore Roosevelt named him chief of the Forest Ser- vice in 1898 because of his wide-ranging policy on the conservation of nat- ural resources.
