Ephraim Canyon

Location: Ephraim Canyon drainage; west slope of the Wasatch Plateau; Sanpete County, Utah

​

Study Area: 7601 - 9196 feet above sea level (2317- 2803 meters above sea level)

​

Elevation: 7601'-9196'

​

Aspen Forest Type: a mix of seral (aspens and conifers) and persistent (all aspens) stands

​

Typical Vegetation: Gambel oak, juniper woodlands, mixed conifers, aspen, and spruce fir

​

Management Agency: Sanpete Ranger District of the Manti-La Sal National Forest

​

History & Use: Indigenous people (the Ute tribe) used these lands. European-Americans arrived in the 1850s. They used the land to harvest timber and livestock grazing (mostly sheep), including summer mountain dairies. Periodic wildfires may have burned the area every 20-50 years until about 1880. The area is often used for recreation today.

RESULTS & DISCUSSION

What’s happening here?

Through my research I found that: [Is your site struggling? Does it need monitoring or restoration? What factors are impacting the health of your site?]

​

My research and evidence backs up this assessment. Specifically:

• Evidence 1 - Write a sentence about one piece of evidence support your assessment above.
• Evidence 2 - Write a sentence about one piece of evidence support your assessment above.
• Evidence 3 - Write a sentence about one piece of evidence support your assessment above.

[Insert graphs, data, charts, and other images here in this space along with captions and other explanatory text. If you need additional space to share your results, add another slide to your presentation.]

​

This is a way to visually support your research responses above.

Restoration Plan

What can we do?

[Summarize your restoration plan here in this space. Include the treatment option(s) you are recommending.]

​

This restoration plan should answer:

• What restoration treatment(s) will your plan include?
• Why did you select the treatment(s)?
• What outcomes should your treatment options produce?
• You may choose to predict what this means for other organisms in the ecosystem.
