Forest Service Asks for Help In Cleaning Up Wasatch Front Community leaders and Uinta National Forest Supervisor Don Nebeker recently met to discuss in-creasing concerns with abuses along the Wasatch Front. The mountains along the Wasatch Front provide a scenic backdrop to numerous communities. The vivid beauty of this backdrop diminshes each year, and bold scarring in-creases. A lack of environmental concern and consciousness by a few is affecting the entire population along the Front. The participants recognized that with the limited land available and increasing demands placed upon it, public involvement and response to environmental and resource issues is critically needed. The goals of public involvement are to increase the peoples' interest in environmental concerns, to stimulate their desire to protect public resources, and to urge positive action by individuals when conduct is observed which results in degradation of the environment. Supervisor Nebeker anticipates that the downward trend can be reversed with the help of community leaders. It is important that this reversal occur to ensure that future generations will have opportunities to enjoy the beauty and unique ex-periences public lands such as parks, forests, mountains, and lakes offer. Utah and Juab County leaders will take the lead indirecting this effort along the southern portion of the Wasatch Front. Community leaders in the area will be holding similar meetings. Fire Dept.
