<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Oi)~19"7 <br /> <br />CHAPrER IV <br /> <br />LAlID ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICES <br /> <br />individually or in groups do conservation work on the land. It provides <br />this assistance mainly through locally organized soil conservation dis- <br />tricts. Such work is a foundation for watershed protection and other <br />soil and water conservation activities in rural areas. <br /> <br />The San Juan Area is covered by the Grand and San Juan Soil Conser- <br />vation Districts in Utah and in the Dove Creek, Glade Park, and San <br />Miguel Basin Districts in Colorado. Work unit offices are maintained <br />in Monticello, Utah, and Dove Creek and Norwood, Colo. The program of <br />the Soil Conservation Service has been actively carried out in these <br />districts. One of the activities was a feasibility investigation of the <br />West Paradox Project, reported in Chapter IX. <br /> <br />Seven major categories of outdoor recreation on private land are <br />recognized by the Soil Conservation Service. These are: (1) vacation <br />farms, (2) picnic and sports centers, (3) fishing waters, (4) camping, <br />scenery, natural recreation areas and wildlife refuges, (5) hunting <br />areas, (6) hunting preserves, and (7) selling recreational land or <br />recreation-use rights. Although assistance is primarily related to the <br />soil, water, and plant aspects of recreational land use, the Service <br />also advises individuals and groups on the availability of assistance <br />from other agencies. <br /> <br />42 <br />
