not mean a "natural" area; it means an
area where industrial developments
are held to a minimum, and the "game"
is the primary use. They do not consider
a fenced "Wilderness Area" as a scientific
laboratory as Hall had considered it.
From here we back-tracked 3 miles,
& headed somewhat north-west for several
miles. The range had been severely
browsed but seemed to be leafing out again
as though the pressure had been
diminished during the last year or two.
Sage brush, oaks & service berries were
showing good progress. Very little
difference was evident, & it was badly
biased.
th closed sample plot 30"-30" vegetation,
?) sage brush, cliff rose & juniper show
good growth but not much better than
that outside (sagebrush) except cliff
rose & juniper which show heavy browsing
outside.
Everywhere we have seen the oaks
in the ravines coming back, whereas
on the ridges where cliff rose predominates
it is heavily shattered.
