  • Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest Timber
    FOREST INDUSTRY TECHNICAL REPORT NO. 2 SUMMER 2017 TIMBER-PROCESSING CAPACITY NEAR NATIONAL FORESTS GRAND MESA, UNCOMPAHGRE AND GUNNISON NATIONAL FORESTS, COLORADO BY CHELSEA P. MCIVER, ERIC A. SIMMONS AND TODD A. MORGAN INTRODUCTION In order for land management agencies to meet societal expectations for wood products, wildfire risk reduction, and other goods and services, managers need accurate and up-to-date information on the ability of markets to utilize timber of various sizes and variable quality. Timber harvesting also creates opportunities to offset the cost of treatments while producing value- added products. This series of fact sheets on timber-processing capacity were prepared as forest planning support documents through a cooperative agreement with Region 2 of the U.S. Forest Service. The 2016 report on the health of Colorado’s forests (State of Colorado 2017) identified 576,000 acres of forest impacted GMUG NATIONAL FORESTS by the spruce beetle or western spruce budworm, the former ranking as the most widespread and damaging forest insect pest Acres of non-reserved timberland: 2,254,042 for the fifth consecutive year. Notable counties impacted by the insects include much of the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and 2016 Forest Service timber harvest: 21,041 MBF, Gunnison (GMUG) National Forests. Statewide, there are an Scribner estimated 834 million standing dead trees at risk of contributing to large, intense wildfires. Timber-processing area (TPA): Seven counties To mitigate this risk, treatments designed to restore ecological condition and function, and reduce fire hazard, will require the Number of active timber processors in TPA: 15 removal of a mix of timber valuable enough to offset some of the costs, along with smaller trees with limited value and markets.

Mead (1852-1936) visited central Colorado from June to September 1871 to collect butterflies. Considerable effort has been spent trying to determine the identities of the butterflies he collected for his future father-in-law William Henry Edwards, and where he collected them. Brown (1956) tried to deduce his itinerary based on the specimens and the few letters etc. available to him then. Brown (1964-1987) designated lectotypes and neotypes for the names of the butterflies that William Henry Edwards described, including 24 based on Mead’s specimens. Brown & Brown (1996) published many later-discovered letters written by Mead describing his travels and collections. Calhoun (2013) purchased Mead’s journal and published Mead’s brief journal descriptions of his collecting efforts and his travels by stage and horseback and walking, and Calhoun commented on some of the butterflies he collected (especially lectotypes). Calhoun (2015a) published an abbreviated summary of Mead’s travels using those improved locations from the journal etc., and detailed the type localities of some of the butterflies named from Mead specimens.

  • 2017 Petition to Revise Mount Graham Red Squirrel Critical Habitat
    December 14, 2017 Department of the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke FAX: (202) 208-6956 (Email: [email protected]) Fish and Wildlife Service Acting Director Greg Sheehan FAX: (202) 208-6965 (Email: [email protected]) Fish and Wildlife Service Regional Director Amy Lueders FAX: (505) 248-6910 (Email: [email protected]) Fish and Wildlife Service State Supervisor Steve Spangle FAX: (602) 242-2513 (Email: [email protected]) Arizona Game and Fish Department Director Ty Gray FAX: (623) 236-7930 (Email: [email protected]) Dear Messrs. Zinke, Sheehan, Spangle and Gray, and Ms. Lueders, RE: Petition to revise the January 5, 1990, Mount Graham Red Squirrel Critical Habitat to reflect the current change in status of the squirrel and its habitat. CURRENT STATUS OF MOUNT GRAHAM’S SPRUCE-FIR FOREST The Mount Graham Red Squirrel has survived in isolation on Mount Graham since the retreat of the continental glaciers 11,000 or more years ago at the end of the Pleistocene. Now only about 35 Mount Graham Red Squirrels survive on Earth. Historically, the summit’s spruce/fir association has contributed “most of the excellent food habitat”1 that has allowed the squirrel to survive long term on Mount Graham. In 1988, approximately 615 suitable acres of the estimated 700 historical acres of the pure spruce/fir association forest remained.2 Now very little of the high elevation, essential spruce-fir habitat survives. Very little spruce-fir forest survives owing to (1) habitat destruction by wildfire, (2) habitat destruction by firefighting efforts focused on the protection of telescopes and structures as opposed to protection of endangered Mount Graham Red Squirrel habitat, and (3) habitat destruction by unnecessary back burning resulting from pressure on fire fighters by University of Arizona astronomers.
