    Mountain Adventures Manual utahmasternaturalist.org June 2017 UMN/Manual/2017-03pr Welcome to Utah Master Naturalist! Utah Master Naturalist was developed to help you initiate or continue your own personal journey to increase your understanding of, and appreciation for, Utah’s amazing natural world. We will explore and learn aBout the major ecosystems of Utah, the plant and animal communities that depend upon those systems, and our role in shaping our past, in determining our future, and as stewards of the land. Utah Master Naturalist is a certification program developed By Utah State University Extension with the partnership of more than 25 other organizations in Utah. The mission of Utah Master Naturalist is to develop well-informed volunteers and professionals who provide education, outreach, and service promoting stewardship of natural resources within their communities. Our goal, then, is to assist you in assisting others to develop a greater appreciation and respect for Utah’s Beautiful natural world. “When we see the land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” - Aldo Leopold Participating in a Utah Master Naturalist course provides each of us opportunities to learn not only from the instructors and guest speaKers, But also from each other. We each arrive at a Utah Master Naturalist course with our own rich collection of knowledge and experiences, and we have a unique opportunity to share that Knowledge with each other. This helps us learn and grow not just as individuals, but together as a group with the understanding that there is always more to learn, and more to share.

    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.

    A Forage Capacity and Stocking Rate Determination for the High Uintas

    A FORAGE CAPACITY AND STOCKING RATE DETERMINATION FOR THE HIGH UINTAS WILDERNESS DOMESTIC SHEEP ANALYSIS Analysis completed by Emanuel Vasquez1, John Carter2, and Allison Jones1 1 Wild Utah Project, 824 S. 400 W., Ste B-117. Salt Lake City, UT 84101 2Keisha’s preserve and Yellowstone to Uintas Connection, P.O. Box 363 Paris, Idaho 83261 Analysis presented to the Ashley and Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forests September, 2018 1 INTRODUCTION In May 2014, the Uinta Wasatch Cache and Ashley NFs initiated scoping for the High Uintas Domestic Sheep Analysis.1 The purpose of this project as described in the scoping notice is to reauthorize grazing of domestic sheep on five allotments in each of the NFs totaling 157,000 acres within the Uinta Wilderness, while continuing to permit up to 40,000 ewes and lambs to graze for two to three months, depending upon the allotment. Prior work in the Uinta Wilderness by Dr. John Carter identified issues of soil and stream bank erosion, severe use in uplands, and trailing damage across the passes leading from the UWCNF into the Ashley NF allotments and on steep slopes. These conditions were documented in a report by Dr. Carter that illustrated that non- capable lands were being severely grazed (Carter 2007).2 In the example of the adjacent West Fork Black’s Fork allotment, which the Forest Service has excluded from this analysis, Carter’s 2007 analysis demonstrated overstocking of the allotment, in which only 854 acres of the 14,786 acres were capable to support grazing. Of those 854 acres, 609 were wet meadows, areas not preferred by sheep.
