Douglas Ramsey1 ABSTRACT.—Land managers and scientists need context in which to interpolate between or extrapolate beyond discrete field points in space and time. Ecological classification of land (ECL) is one way by which these relationships can be made. Until regional issues emerged and calls were made for ecosystem management (EM), each land management institution chose its own ECLs. The need for economic efficiency and the increasing availability of geographic informa- tion systems (GIS) compel the creation of a national ECL so that communication across ownership boundaries can occur.

FLORA OF THE STANSBURY MOUNTAINS, UTAH Alan C. Taye' Abstract.— The Stansbury Mountains of north central Utah rise over 2000 m above surrounding desert valleys to a maximum elevation of 3362 m on Deseret Peak. Because of the great variety of environmental conditions that can be found in the Stansburys, a wide range of plant species and vegetation types (from shadscale desert to alpine mead- ow) exist there. This paper presents an annotated list of 594 vascular plant species in 315 genera and 78 families. The largest families are Asteraceae (98 species), Poaceae (71), Brassicaceae (33), Fabaceae (27), and Rosaceae (26). Elymiis flcwescens was previously unreported from Utah. Statistical comparison of the Stansbury flora with neighboring mountain floras indicates that the Wasatch Mountains lying 65 km to the east have probably been the primary source area for development of the Stansbury flora.

  • Wilderness Areas on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National
    Wilderness Areas On The Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forests “Wilderness is the land that was wild land beyond the frontier...land that shaped the growth of our nation and the character of its people. Wilderness is the land that is rare, wild places where one can retreat from civilization, reconnect with the Earth, and find healing, meaning and significance.” The United States was the first country to define and create designated wilderness areas. In 1964 the Wilderness Act was passed in congress. The Act describes wilderness as the following: "...lands designated for preservation and protection in their natural condition..." Section 2(a) "...an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man..." Section 2(c) "...an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvement or human habitation..." Section 2(c) "...generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable..." Section 2(c) "...has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation..." Section 2(c) "...shall be devoted to the public purposes of recreation, scenic, scientific, educational, conservation and historic use." Section 4(b) Within the Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forest there are 9 designated wilderness areas. These areas include: Mount Naomi Wilderness, Wellsville Mountain Wilderness, Mount Olympus Wilderness, Twin Peaks Wilderness, Lone Peak Wilderness, Mount Timpanogos Wilderness, Mount Nebo Wilderness, Deseret Peak Wilderness and the High Uinta Wilderness. Each of these areas offer unique wilderness opportunities and experiences. The Mount Naomi Wilderness was designated in 1984 and includes 44,523 acres.

  • Remembering Iosepa More Than a Century Ago, a Small Group of Native Hawaiians Left the Islands to Found a Tiny Town in Utah
    Send to printer Close window Remembering Iosepa More than a century ago, a small group of Native Hawaiians left the Islands to found a tiny town in Utah. This is their story. SARAH MILEY A rusty fire hydrant is one of the few remaining signs of the abandoned Hawaiian settlement of Iosepa. PHOTO: MAEGAN BURR, TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN Arrival of the Hawaiians From 1889 to 1917, hundreds of Pacific Islanders lived, toiled and some died in Skull Valley, Utah. The remote valley is about 75 miles southwest of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ headquarters in Salt Lake City, and it was a stark contrast to their Island home. They traded rain forests for juniper and sage brush, the blue Pacific for the Great Salt Lake—a remnant of the giant Lake Bonneville. Most of the settlers were Native Hawaiians, who had been converted to Mormonism by missionaries and had first gathered on Lanai and then at Laie, Oahu, but were determined to gather at Zion with other members of the church in Utah and participate in sacred ordinances at the Salt Lake Temple that was under construction there. In the 1870s, the Hawaiian government eased restrictions on emigration, and the Hawaiian “saints,” as the LDS church refers to its members, began their journeys eastward to Utah. In Salt Lake City, assimilation didn’t come easily for the Pacific Islanders, and a committee consisting of three Caucasians and three Hawaiians was sent to find a place suitable for relocation of the Pacific Islanders. After looking at several possible destinations, it was decided that the 1,920-acre John T.

  • APPENDIX C WILDERNESS EVALUATION Introduction Inventory Of
    Draft Environmental Impact Statement APPENDIX C WILDERNESS EVALUATION Introduction This appendix describes the process used to inventory and evaluate areas on the Wasatch – Cache National Forest for their potential as wilderness. Each of the 31 roadless areas is then summarized in an individual report describing an area’s wilderness characteristics, current resource uses, and the need for the area to be included in the wilderness preservation system. Inventory of Potential Wilderness Updating the 1983 Inventory Past roadless inventories, such as the 1983 Forest Plan roadless inventory were used as a starting point to identify roadless resources on the Wasatch – Cache National Forest. These areas were updated and new areas identified based upon criteria in: · FSH 1909.12 Inventory and Evaluation of Roadless Areas · Intermountain draft Roadless Inventory and Evaluation Guide (USFS, 1998) · 1984 Utah Wilderness Act A significant change since 1983 roadless inventory was completed was portions of Mount Naomi, Wellsville Mountains, Mount Olympus, Twin Peaks, Lone Peak and Deseret Peak (Stansbury Mountains) roadless areas became wilderness in 1984 by the Utah Wilderness Act. Lone Peak had become a wilderness area earlier with the 1978 Endangered Wilderness Act and no further acreage was added in 1984. Additional Areas Identified as Roadless Because different criteria were used for the 1999 inventory than those used in 1983, eight additional areas were identified as roadless since the 1983 Roadless Inventory: · Temple Peak (Logan Ranger District) · Boulder Mountain (Logan Ranger District) · Mahogany Range (Logan Ranger District) · Right Hand Fork (Logan Ranger District) · Sugar Pine (Ogden Ranger District) · Rock Creek – Green Fork (Ogden Ranger District) · Hogsback (Salt Lake Ranger District) Wasatch-Cache National Forest C - 1 Draft Environmental Impact Statement · Lone Peak Additions (Salt Lake Ranger District) Further, the Mount Logan 1983 roadless area was split into three separate roadless areas, because of constructed roads that were identified.

Bighorns were extirpated from the Great Basin region of Utah in the early 1900s. It was proposed to transplant bighorn sheep in in historic ranges in an effort to reestablish bighorns to their native ranges (Buechner 1960, Dalton and Spillet 1971) and to promote wildlife diversity for hunting and viewing, in accordance with Utah Code 23-14-21. In an effort to reestablish bighorns in the Stansbury Mountains in the Great Basin region of Utah, 54 bighorn sheep were transplanted and released in January 2006 and with an additional 19 transplanted in February 2007 from Antelope Island.
