Each of the reports and documents posted at this site relates to one or more projects of the Utah Forests Program of the Grand Canyon Trust. The Utah Forests Program focuses on the three Colorado Plateau national forests in Utah: Dixie, Fishlake, and Manti-La Sal. Most of the Trust reports are compiled from field research by the Trust on the three forests.

Reference Area Project
Goal: To formally establish, in conjunction with the Forest Service, key, healthy examples of seven major habitats on the three forests, and to utilize these reference areas for comparison with similar habitat types that are impacted by uses on the three forests: Ponderosa pine, aspen, sagebrush, riparian areas, meadows, springs, and beaver sites.
