Description:
Utah Environmental Congress and Grand Canyon Trust's Unified Forest Service Wilderness Proposal for Beaver, Emery, Grand, Piute and San Juan and part of Sevier Counties, Utah

The Unified Forest Wilderness Proposal represents the Utah Environmental Congress and Grand Canyon Trust’s proposed boundaries for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System via an Act of Congress.
 
The Unified Forest Wilderness Proposal represents the combination and unification of the Utah Environmental Congress and the Utah Forest Network wilderness proposals, both of which were drafted in 2004 and 2005.
The boundaries of the Unified Proposal were reviewed and updated in 2010, 2011 and 2012 using current agency and state GIS data as well as BING aerial imagery and 2009 1m USDA National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery.
 
PROVISIONAL: In Emery County, some areas proposed for wilderness designation are encumbered by existing leases for Coal. These lands are provisionally proposed for wilderness, based on disposition if said leases and the consent of lease holders.
