Ashley National Forest 2010 Year In Review

F OREST S UPERVISOR ’ S L ETTER Dear Friends, Occasionally I am asked about my vision for the Ashley National Forest. I typically frame my vision around three perspectives, i.e. forest resources, our users, and our employees. The Ashley National Forest is a scenic and productive forest with tre- mendous opportunities. The Forest has a reputation for providing multiple-uses in a manner that demonstrates good land stewardship. Many people care deeply for the Ashley. It is also apparent that we have a committed workforce. My personal vi- sion is that our work environment encourages participation, that we celebrate diver- sity, dignity, ownership, job satisfaction, and employee growth. Natural resource management is not without controversy. There are many interests, and often they conflict. However, I must fall back on the mission and purposes for which Congress created our national forests. Our mission is broad and finding the right balance is a challenging problem and one we take seriously. Our national forests are a irreplaceable part of our American heritage, providing a wide variety of ecological, economic, and social benefits to current and future genera- tions. Our challenge and responsibility as land stewards is to involve more people, incorporate science, and to make de- cisions that sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of our natural resources. In the following pages we have highlighted many of the accomplishments completed with partnerships that could only be accomplished with the passion and dedication of people like you. One milestone is after five years we completed the High Lakes Stabilization project. As part of the Uinta Basin Replacement Project and mitigation for the expansion of Big Sandwash Reservoir water rights and storage capacity were transferred from 13 lakes in the High Uintas Wilderness Area allowing us to begin restoring natural character to a human altered landscape. This past summer we stabilized the last two out of 13 lakes, Deer and East Timothy, both in the Swift Creek drainage. This was a tremendous partnership involving players from a variety of affiliations and sharing a common interest of water and wilderness stewardship. We continue to place an emphasis on connecting people with America’s great outdoors, renewing mind, body, and spirit, and inspring passion for the land. Despite changes in population and fluctuating visit use patterns, outdoor recreation is traditional part of the American way of life. We are fortunate to have a gem such as the Flaming Gorge National Recrea- tion Area and other developed and dispersed recreation opportunities across the Forest. The preceding paragraphs reflect our Intermountain Region’s legacy priority of water stewardship, i.e. restoring and maintaining water quality and biotic integrity, protecting public interests in water on National Forest System lands, and connecting people to lands that provide the very water resources they depend on. Thanks for all that you do helping us make a difference.

The purpose of the timber and vegetation program is to manipulate forest vegetation to maintain or promote the health and resiliency of forest ecosystems on the Ashley National Forest. In 2010, four conventional timber sales were sold and two stewardship contracts with timber removal were awarded. A total of 1,315,800 cubic feet (CF) Fellerbuncher working on the of timber was sold through permits, timber sale con- Reservation Ridge Stewardship tracts, and stewardship contracts, and 792,700 CF of Project wood was removed, 522 acres of forest vegetation was
