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.
