dc.description.abstractThe Ashley National Forest (ANF) covers 1.3 million acres within the Upper and Lower Green River Basin in northeast Utah. The diverse geography of the ANF creates an equally diverse set of wetlands that provide important ecological services to both ANF and lands downstream. Organic soil wetlands known as fens are an irreplaceable resource that the U.S. Forest Service has determined should be managed for conservation and restoration. Fens are defined as groundwater-fed wetlands with organic soils that typically support The Ashley National Forest contains a rich resource of fen wetlands. This report and associated dataset provides the ANF with a critical tool for conservation planning at both a local and Forest-wide scale. These data will be useful for the ongoing ANF biological assessment required by the 2012 Forest Planning Rule, but can also be used for individual management actions, such as planning for timber sales, grazing allotments, and trail maintenance. Wherever possible, the Forest should avoid direct disturbance to the fens mapped through this project, and should also strive to protect the watersheds surrounding high concentrations of fens, thereby protecting their water sources.
