Pinter February-March 1972 3 CONGRESS CONDEMNS PARK WILDERN ESS "ENCLAVES"' We were present at an historic moment in the evolution of Wilderness for the nation's parks, monuments, forests, and wildlife ranges. It was the public hearing on 14 proposals for additions to the National Wilderness System, including those intended for the North Cascades National Park, and Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas. Senator Frank Church chaired the meeting of his Public Lands Subcommittee which was receiving testimony in Washington, D. C. on May 5, 1972 from public and agency witnesses. The Senator stated he was "...especially concerned about the non-wilderness enclaves which seemed to pepper all of these national park proposals... I find no convincing rationale for this practice... many of these so-called wilderness "enclaves" are based on assumptions and policies of the Department of the Interior which are not in conformance with the directives and intent of Congress... what the Act intends and contemplates is that small private inholdings, mineral claims, grazing areas, and the like, which constitute established private rights or privi­ leges may be encompassed within the boundaries of a Wilderness Area, and need not be specially enclaved or otherwise segregated from the Wilderness Area within which they lie. " Senator Church further clarified the enclave issue by pointing out "Nothing in the Act or the legislative intent requires or forces the National Park Service or the Bureau of Sport Fish­ eries and Wildlife to carve out these kinds of non-wilderness enclaves — not for snow gauges and telemetering equipment, not for fire lookouts, not for ranger patrol cabins, not for pit toilets, or other minimum sanitary facilities, not for helispots or provision for occasional landing of management aircraft, not for provision of necessary potable and protected water supply, not for fish and wildlife management, such as watering holes, guzzlers, and fish traps, not for trailside shelters, if of a primitive kind and reasonably necessary to serve the purposes of the wilderness area (as opposed to simply for the comfort and convenience of park visitors). " He summarized by saying "... the concept of non-wilderness enclaves, at leastas embodied in these proposals, is undesirable, dangerous, inconsistent with the letter and intent of the Wil­ derness Act, and altogether unjustified. It may be that we will eventually see a need for such an interior exclusion in some future proposal; but for the kinds and types of facilities and uses I have mentioned, I find no justification for such enclaves at all. " "Buffer zones" also came under attack from Senator Church as he noted "... the Nation­ al Park Service is, again as a matter of blanket policy, setting the boundaries of its proposed wilderness units back from the edge of roads, developed areas and the park boundaries by buffer and threshold zones of varying widths. There is no requirement for that in the Wilderness Act. No other agency draws wilderness boundaries in this way, which has the effect of excluding the critical edge of wilderness from full statutory protection. As can be seen, this is a landmark statement which was heartily endorsed by all the major conservation organizations which were present at the hearing. Now our members must write letters, in support of Senator Church's excellent stand: (1) to Senator Henry M. Jackson (Senate Office Building, Washington, D. C. 20510) asking him to support Church's stand and requesting that your letter be made a part of the May 5 hearing record; (2) to Assistant Secretary of the Interior Nathanial Reed (Interior Building, Washington, D. C. 20240) thanking him for acknowledging to Senator Church that he would "have no difficulty" in redrafting the park pro­ posals to conform with Senator Church's directions; (3) to Congressman Lloyd Meeds and to Tom Foley (House Office Building, Washington, D. C. 20515); requesting their support when these issues come before the House Interior Committee; (4) to Senator Church thanking him for his fine work on behalf of the preservation of an intact wilderness system within the North Cascades National Park and other units of the National Park System.

  • May-June 2009 Sawtooth Wilderness Evaluation
    May-June 2009 Sawtooth Wilderness Evaluation WILDERNESS EVALUATION Sawtooth - 608027 178,186 acres OVERVIEW The original Chelan Inventoried Roadless Area consisted of portions lying both north and south of Lake Chelan. The area north of Lake Chelan is contiguous with the original Sawtooth IRA and has now been added to the Sawtooth Potential Wilderness Area (PWA). For wilderness evaluation purposes, contiguous PWAs should be evaluated together. The evaluation will continue to distinguish between the original IRAs with subtitles of North Lake Chelan Portion and Sawtooth Portion. The Sawtooth portion will be further delineated into three areas for specific portions of the evaluation. They are the North Cascade Scenic Area, the Twisp River Area, and the Sawtooth Backcountry Area. However, tables displaying resource conditions and need will consider all portions together. History North Lake Chelan Portion This portion of the PWA is 27,247 acres. This area was originally suggested for scenic area consideration in 1915 as the Chelan-Sawtooth area. In 1984, a portion of that area became part of the newly created Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness. The remaining portion became the motorized Sawtooth Backcountry in the 1990 Wenatchee National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan that allowed for motorized trail use in the roadless area. Sawtooth Portion The area was originally inventoried as six separate roadless areas totaling approximately 186,000 acres during RARE I. The areas were Lucky Jim (11,900 acres), Middle Creek (14,400 acres), Midnight Mountain (17,600 acres), Sawtooth (96,800 acres), Twisp River (30,800 acres), and Wolf Creek (14,500 acres). Between 1972 and 1979, timber sales and roads, along with new roadless area inventory criteria, reduced the total size of these areas by approximately 8,000 acres.

  • Recovery Plan for Grizzly Bears in the North Cascades of British Columbia
    RECOVERY PLAN FOR GRIZZLY BEARS IN THE NORTH CASCADES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA January 19, 2001 Consensus Recommendation Draft for Consultation North Cascades Grizzly Bear Recovery Team EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North Cascades area contains one of the most imperiled grizzly bear populations in British Columbia with an estimate of fewer than 25 animals remaining in an area of 9 807 km2. This population has been designated as “Threatened” under the provincial Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy and is shared with Washington State where it is listed as “Threatened” under the United States’ federal Endangered Species Act. The primary factors that are believed to have caused the decline of the North Cascades grizzly bear population date back to the mid-19th century when there were high numbers of grizzly bears commercially trapped and destroyed through persecution and fear over potential conflicts. In the approximately 150 years since this population “bottleneck” the remnant population has not recovered. The recovery planning process has been initiated under the Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy to ensure that Threatened populations are not lost. Recovery plans are not land use plans, any existing or future approved strategic land use plans take precedence over recovery plans. Recovery plans are intended to be revised every five years based on any additional information available. The goal of this Recovery Plan is to remove the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Population Unit from Threatened status by 2050. This represents a recovered population of approximately 150 grizzly bears. The Recovery Plan includes the following objectives that support the goal: 1. Provide habitat of sufficient quantity and quality to support the Recovery Plan goal.

Huerta, Director, Science Honors Research Program DATE____________________________ ABSTRACT ROCK GLACIERS IN THE EASTERN CASCADES, WASHINGTON Mark Weidenaar Faculty Mentor: Karl Lillquist, Ph.D. Geography The eastern portion of Washington State's Cascade Range is a place not previously examined for rock glaciers, due to proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its associated marine- influenced climate. The objectives of this study were to determine spatial, activity, and genesis patterns, and paleoclimatic implications of Eastern Cascade rock glaciers. Using Google Earth, I found 103 rock glaciers in the study area. Rock glaciers are more common further east of the Cascade crest and more north in latitude, with the largest concentrations occurring east of Lake Chelan (22) and in the Pasayten Wilderness (28) in the North Cascades. None were found south of the Goat Rocks. Rock glaciers generally face north to northeast. Genesis types include 72 debris, 23 gelifluction, and 8 glaciogenic types. Debris- type rock glaciers occur throughout the range and from 20-70km east of the crest. Gelifluction-types also generally occur north of 48°N, and range from 25-45km east of the crest.
