Utah Admin. Code R652-160-300 - Objectives
1. Except as otherwise provided in the
regulations in this part, wilderness shall be so administered as to meet the
public purposes of recreation, including hunting, trapping, and fishing;
conservation; and scenic, scientific, educational, and historical uses; and it
shall also be administered for such other purposes for which it may have been
established in such a manner as to preserve and protect its wilderness
character. In carrying out such purposes, wilderness shall be managed to
promote, perpetuate, and, where necessary, restore the wilderness character of
the land and its specific values of solitude, physical and mental challenge,
scientific study, inspiration, and primitive recreation. To that end:
(a) Natural ecological succession will be
allowed to operate freely to the extent feasible,
(b) Wilderness will be made available for
human use to the optimum extent consistent with the maintenance of primitive
conditions,
(c) In resolving
conflicts in resource use, wilderness values will be dominant to the extent not
limited by the Wilderness Act, subsequent establishing legislation, or the
regulations in this part.
