Status
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources proposed to make up to sixty (60) helicopter landings in three Wasatch Mountain Wilderness areas, the Twin Peaks Wilderness, the Lone Peak Wilderness and the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness in the fall of 2017 in order to capture and collar approximately 20 Rocky Mountain goats and approximately 10 Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep for monitoring purposes. In March of 2017 Y2U, along with Western Wildlife Conservancy, Wild Utah Project, Wildlands Network, Save Our Canyons, Sierra Club, Wilderness Watch and Voices of Wildlife, submitted comments on the project to the UDWR.
Outcome
In January 2018, an Objection was filed on behalf of Y2U, Wilderness Watch, Western Wildlife Conservancy, Save Our Canyons, and the Sierra Club. During the summer of 2019 UDWR officially dropped the proposal!
