MI THE WEST, B-5 il CLASSIFIEDS, B-6 JANUARY 19, 1999 Wilderness Advocates Go for Utah’s Green Environmentalists unveil plan for roadless areas in Uinta and Wasatch-Cachenational forests BY BRENT ISRAELSEN ‘THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE © 1999,TheSalt LakeTribune Curfew Time Doesn't Follow NormalRules BOULDER — Alreadybeing fought on the “redrock” front, Utah’s wilderness waris about to enter “green” country. Environmentalists this week unveiled the first of their plans for hundreds of thousandsof acres of roadless areas in Utah's nationalforests. After two years of fieldwork, repre- sentatives of the Wild Utah Forest Cam- paign (WUFC) stated they found about 490,000 acres of roadless areas in the Uinta National Forest, and about 452,000 acres of roadless areas in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Identifying roadless areas is the first step towardfinding lands that qualify as federally protected “wilderness,” the most restrictive public-lands management designation. Aspart of a 15-year cycle of “forest plan” revisions, the national forests around the country are required by law to review their roadless areas and recommend wilderness. In many cases, those inventories are coming up short, said Suzanne Jones, of the Washington, D.C.-based Wilderness Society. “We're finding virtually no new wil- derness is being recommended,” Jones said. The roadless area inventory conducted by the Utah groups will be used to counter similar inventories nowbeing conducted by the Uinta and Wasatch- Cachenational forests. The figures also stand to significantly increase the amountof wildernessdesignationin the two forests. Currently, there are about 300,000 acres of wilderness in the Wasatch- Cache, and about 39,000 acres of wildernessin the Uinta. In the Wasatch-Cache, however, the environmentalists’ roadless figures may total fewer than those of the Forest Serviee. In 1983, Wasatch-Cache officials identified about 581,000 acres of roadless areas. If the numbers show less wilderness potential, so be it, said WUFC’s Michael Scialdone, who explained his group used the Forest Service’s ownstrict criteria in defining roadless areas. “We'retrying to establish credibility,” said Scialdone.
