A Big Game Management Plan for the West Hatter Creek Unit of the University of Idaho Forest Item Info

Big game management finds its most valid expression as both a science and an art within the context of wise resource management. This plan presents the basic resource descriptions, information, and recommendations for the rational, efficient and productive use of the West Hatter Creek Unit for optimum benefits to the University and the people whom it serves. It provides for a comprehensive development of a management philosophy, objectives, policy, and action program. Its focus is big game management but its concept is wildland resources. The West Hatter Creek Unit of the University of Idaho Forest shown in the map on page 12 contains 2160 acres, 34 percent of the total acreage of the Forest. Basic information on this major unit will often apply to other portions of the Forest. As with the other 22 of the 36 forestry schools in North America owning university forests, (faculty of Forestry, 1964) the University of Idaho views the Forest as an indispensible part of their total program. This Forest is large enough and near enough to the campus to provide a field laboratory environment both for research and demonstration of wildland resource management and utilization. Such education and research are enhanced by the permanent ownership of the Forest which allows and encourages intensive long-term plans and projects.
