The
Utah Forest News occasionally features excerpts from the diary of
Albert F. Potter from the USU Special Collections and Archives.
In 1902 Potter conducted the Wasatch Survey, where he criss-crossed
the Wasatch Mountains and the Colorado Plateau by horseback for
5 months. His assignment
as Chief Grazing Officer was to document forest and range conditions
and attitudes of inhabitants on formation of the national forests.
This historical perspective is useful in understanding how today’s
management activities may affect tomorrow’s forests. |
