MONTICELLO FOREST RESERVE & NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH 1907-1908 The Monticello National Forest combined with the La Sal National Forest to establish the La Salle National Forest in 1908. The Monticello National Forest was named for the nearby town (Van Cott, page 256). Now the area forms the Monticello Section, LaSal Division of the Manti-LaSal National Forest. Under the Utah Wilderness Act of 1984, the 47,116 acre Dark Canyon Wilderness was established on the former Monticello National Forest. Moab, Utah served as the administrative headquarters of the Monticello, the same headquarters as the La Sal National Forest. It now forms the La Sal Division – Monticello of the Manti-LaSal National Forest.

Lake Granby Fishery Management Report Jon Ewert, Aquatic Biologist, Colorado Parks and Wildlife February 2019
Lake Granby Fishery Management Report Jon Ewert, Aquatic Biologist, Colorado Parks and Wildlife February 2019 Introduction Lake Granby, approximately 7,250 surface acres when full, is one of the largest coldwater reservoirs in the state. It is the main storage reservoir in the west slope portion of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project which supplies water to the northern Front Range through the Adams Tunnel at Grand Lake. It is a focal point of the Grand County tour- ism economy and offers many amenities. Recreational access is managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Arapaho National Recreation Area. The recreational fishery of Granby is dominated by lake trout (aka mackinaw) and hosts the highest density of the species that has been documented in Colorado. Kokan- ee salmon have been stocked in Granby since 1951 to pro- vide recreational opportunity, a prey base to produce tro- phy lake trout, and spawning adults are captured annually to provide eggs for restocking. Rainbow trout of various sizes are also stocked and there is a moderate density of self-sustaining brown trout. Suckers and mottled sculpin Figure 1. Lake Granby are also present. Lake Granby also contains a dense population of mysis separate from the aggregate bag limit of other species. shrimp, which are an excellent prey source for smaller Due to reasons described above, the lake trout fishery in (<24”) lake trout.

Price River Dr. Price, UT 84501 Recommended Citation: Smith, G. and J. Lemly. 2017. Fen Mapping for the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Colorado Natural Heritage Program, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. Front Cover: © Colorado Natural Heritage Program Fens Mapping for the Manti-La Sal National Forest Gabrielle Smith and Joanna Lemly Colorado Natural Heritage Program Warner College of Natural Resources Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado 80523 April 2017 Page intentionally left blank. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Manti-La Sal National Forest (MLSNF) covers 1.4 million acres in four discontinuous units within central and southeast Utah. Wetlands within the MLSNF provide important ecological services to both the Forest and lands downstream. Organic soil wetlands known as fens are an irreplaceable resource that the U.S. Forest Service has determined should be managed for conservation and restoration. Fens are defined as groundwater-fed wetlands with organic soils that typically support sedges and low stature shrubs. In the arid west, organic soil formation can take thousands of years. Long-term maintenance of fens requires maintenance of both the hydrology and the plant communities that enable fen formation. In 2012, the U.S. Forest Service released a new planning rule to guide all National Forests through the process of updating their Land Management Plans (also known as Forest Plans). -
