  • The feasibility of implementing a campfire closure in a heavily used portion of Eagle Cap Wilderness

    Creator:
    Orr, Taylor
    Abstract:
    Gathering and burning firewood in heavily used subalpine areas contributes to campsite deterioration. Forest Service policy directs wilderness managers to implement the principle of nondegradation. As a result, campfires may be prohibited in areas where fire-related impacts are significant. The Lakes Basin and Ice Lake Travel Zones in the Eagle...
