Fork Clackamas #1 Sub-Unit: 178 acres S. Fork Clackamas #2 Sub-Unit: 42 acres 1) Is the area of sufficient size? (Ifthe area meets one ofthe exceptions to the size criterion, check "Yes" and describe the exception in the space provided below), Yes~ No D Note: lf"No" is checked the area does not have wilderness characteristics; check ''NA" for the remaining questions below. Description (describe the boundaries ofthe area--wilderness inventory roads, property lines, etc.): There are three sub-units within this inventory unit. All sub-units are separate from one another but contiguous with the Clackamas Wilderness, a Wilderness area administered by the Mount Hood National Forest, Clackamas River Ranger District and located within Clackamas County, Oregon.. The area was designated by the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of ( 2009. The Wilderness is comprised offive widely scattered roadless areas that individually do not reach 5,000 acres. However, when all five are taken together the total acreage within Wilderness boundaries is 9,181 acres. The inventory unit is located within Clackamas County in the Clackamas River watershed. All three sub-units are Oregon and California Revested Lands and are classified under the General Forest Management Area land use allocation in the 1995 Salem District Resource Management Plan. Memaloose Creek Refer to this inventory unit's associated Map 1 for the location ofthe Memaloose Creek subunit, located in T4S R5E sections 29 and 30. The boundaries are based on a proposal submitted by the public but have been revised based on available GIS information, new policy direction and field verification. Primarily, they have been reduced to exclude portion ofthe original inventory unit that do not meet the naturalness criteria. The subunit's revised boundaries are formed by a combination ofprevious forest management (which have a direct bearing on naturalness), prominent signs ofhuman disturbance and ownership boundaries. To the west, north and northeast, subunit boundaries are determined by the extent ofa former water system constructed by the South Fork Water Board in 1913. The system includes tunnels, pipes and bridges that are in various states ofdeterioration since being \ Appendix B, Page 4 decommissioned in the 1980's. This evidence is substantial, noticeable to the casual visitor and ( detracts from the area's naturalness. The eastern boundary ofthe subunit is determined by previous timber harvest which creates a distinct boundary between younger, plantation-like stands and older, unmanaged forest. The southern boundary is determined by the edge of BLM-administered land and the section lines of section 29 and 30. To the south ofthe subunit is the Clackamas Wilderness. South Fork Clackamas #1 Refer to this inventory unit's associated Map 2 for the location ofthe South Fork Clackamas #1 subunit, located in TSS R4E section 12. The boundaries are based on a proposal submitted by the public but have been revised based on available GIS information, new policy direction and field verification. Primarily, they have been reduced to exclude portion ofthe original inventory unit that do not meet the naturalness criteria. The boundaries ofthe subunit are determined to the west and south by the extent ofprevious timber harvest. To the north and east, the edge ofBLM-administered land forms the boundary. To the north and east lies the Clackamas Wilderness. South Fork Clackamas #2 Refer to this inventory unit's associated Map 2 for the location ofthe South Fork Clackamas #I subunit, located in TSS R4E section 24. The boundaries are based on a proposal submitted by the public but have been revised based on available GIS information, new policy direction and field verification. Primarily, they have been reduced to exclude portion ofthe original inventory unit that do not meet the naturalness criteria. The boundaries ofthe subunit are determined to the west by a combination ofprevious timber harvest and BLM Road 5-4E-24. To the east and south the extent ofprevious timber harvest defines the boundary. To the north, the edge ofBLM-administered land forms the boundary. To the north lies the Clackamas Wilderness. The entirety ofsection 24 is BLM-administered Oregon and California Revested Lands classified as General Forest Management Area (GFMA) Land Use Allocation (LUA) in the Salem BLM's current Resource Management Plan. 2) Does the area appear to be natural? Yes l8l No D NIA □ Note: If"No" is checked the area does not have wilderness characteristics; check "NA" for the remaining questions below. Description (include land ownership, location, topography, vegetation, and summary ofmajor human uses/activities): Appendix B, Page 5 In landscape character and vegetation, all three sub-units are virtually indistinguishable from the contiguous Clackamas Wilderness. Direct observation and forest inventory GIS data indicate the land within the revised subunit boundaries has never been subject to forest management activities, and no obvious signs ofcutting or yarding are visible. No noticeable human developments were observed (such as skid roads or logging or utility corridors) and none are known at the time ofinventory. However, the rapid growth rate ofvegetation in the inventory unit's may have obscured or obliterated signs ofhuman activity. Considering the terrain and lack ofhuman developments, the entire unit appears to be affected primarily by the forces ofnature with the imprint ofhumans substantially unnoticeable to the average visitor. Memaloose Creek This subunit is located in T4S, RSE, sections 29 and 30 and incorporates steep, dissected canyons ofthe South Fork Clackamas River and Memaloose Creek. Elevations range from 1380' on the canyon walls to 920' along the river. The subunit features portions ofboth the South Fork Clackamas and Memaloose Creek, along with exposed rock outcrops and other geological features. The subunit includes approximately 195 acres ofconifer dominated stands, consisting of primarily early mature seral stage Douglas-fir. Average age ofthe stands is 100-130 years. Over 71 percent or 142 acres is currently classified as "withdrawn" from timber production, likely due to the steep slopes and rocky ground. Approximately 80 acres ofthe proposed subunit in section 29 was included in a one year timber sale contract

    208 OREGON WILD Afterword JIM CALLAHAN One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast.... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of your- selves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious still- ness, the lovely mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men with their hearts in a safe-deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards. —Edward Abbey1 Edward Abbey. Ed, take it from another Ed, not only can wilderness lovers outlive wilderness opponents, we can also defeat them. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (sic) UNIVERSITY, SHREVEPORT UNIVERSITY, to do nothing.

These awesome landscapes offer stunning views, quiet inspiration and outstanding recreational opportunities. Oregon’s unprotected wild forests are currently threatened by development and management policies. Clearcuts, roads and mining operations destroy old-growth forests and degrade water quality, fragment wildlife habitat, diminish fisheries and waste taxpayer dollars.
