Looking to the Future
The unique mix of Land, People and Events have made the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forests what they are today and will continue to carry it into the future. From the very first humans to the hikers and picnickers of tomorrow, the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest will continue to provide important resources and opportunities for the American people.
Timber, water, forage, wildlife and fisheries, oil and gas, and recreational opportunities are all found on these mountainous lands and are managed by the Forest Service to ensure sustained ecosystem health, using the methods best suited to protect the natural beauty of the area.
The Wasatch and Uinta Mountains provide essential and precious water supplies to the communities and farmers in Utah. Extensive watershed restoration work has been completed to assure continuous, high quality water supplies and prevent disastrous floods. Forest Service work in restoring these lands has won international acclaim.
Cattle and sheep are grazed on the Forest during the summer, but
the numbers are restricted to ensure that minimal damage is done
to the soil and vegetation. Forage produced on these lands provides
food for both domestic and wild animals. The range also provides
food, water, scenery, and recreation for people, and homes for wildlife.
It is managed to assure adequate amounts of all these resources.
