RANDOLPH, Utah. May 1, 2013.
Jennifer Parker of the Forest Service, Ron Lance, a landscape architect, and
Kim Martin, a Forest Engineer, met with the Rich County Commission. They reported on the meeting that had been
held the day before dealing with the Overlook above Garden City. The original plans for that facility had been
changed, and these individuals felt that the original plan needed to be
revisited and some changes made to accommodate more visitors, to try and use
less water, and plant vegetation that
will grow easily in that area.
A road contract between the
county and the Forest Service had been drawn up. The contract was for a ten-year period and would
include three roads each year. There
would be a schedule that would be reviewed annually listing the roads that
would be worked on and maintained for that year. Roads would be deleted and added as needed
with signatures and dates put on the schedule.
That way those areas needing the most attention could be brought to the
front each year and allow for flexibility in keeping and maintaining those
areas that need work done on them.
UDOT is going to put up a
snow fence by the snowmobile tunnel at the top of Logan Canyon. The tunnel has been filling with snow and not
usable. The snow fence should help until
natural trees and plants are placed in the right location and grown big enough
to provide for a long-term fix for this problem.
There is an International
Forestry Convention scheduled for October 2014.
The convention usually includes several field trips to see various
areas. Northern Utah is on the calendar
for some of the tours for this upcoming convention.
