Southern Utah's Forests are mountain islands, home and refuge to innumerable species, and guest houses for migrating animals. These Forests form a beautiful backdrop for over two dozen desert communities and provide headwaters for the desert creeks and springs of Utah's canyon country. Yet these Forests are threatened by incursions including off-road vehicles, logging, and extractive industries such as oil, gas, and mining.
The US Forest Service's original doctrine aimed to preserve watersheds and ecosystems while supplying basic human needs. Red Rock Forests works for preservation so that future generations will inherit an irreplaceable natural legacy - our Forests. Our Wilderness proposal is part of a sensible, balanced plan for Utah's Forests. Under our plan, all uses (motorized and non-motorized recreation, hunting, logging, etc.) would continue, in a balanced and sustainable way.
Please support protection of Utah's Forests by joining with us, Utah Forest
Network, and Three Forests
Coalition, and by letting southern Utah's Forest Service know you support our
efforts!

Citizens' Alternative Forest Plan
The drafting of this
Citizens’ Alternative Forest Plan involved 27 scientists and
organizations and is intended to develop a species and ecosystem
viability based plan. We are currently working with the Forest
Service to have this plan included in the next environmental impact
statement (EIS). Three Forests Coalition has the complete
Alternative and its most recent updates:
