Forest Monitoring Program

The UEC is the only statewide group working on all six National Forests in Utah and is considered a leader for National Forest issues in the state.

Wilderness Campaign

To support our vision for effective long-term conservation, we have also conducted the most thoroughly documented and ground-truthed inventory of Forest Service roadless areas ever completed for Utah. Roadless areas are those areas that, by Agency definition, meet the basic criteria for wilderness set forth in the Wilderness Act of 1964. Using a conservative interpretation of the Agency criteria, after four years of field work and 60,000 geo-referenced photo-points, we found that about 5.2 million acres of Forest Service land in Utah (out of a total of 8.2) still meet the basic wilderness criteria.
