(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Carol Majeske, recreation staff officer for the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, has been researching the interesting history of the Spruces Campground. The area, now heavily wooded, was an open field that served as a tree nursery with millions of densely packed tree starts meant to reforest the surrounding land clear cut by miners and pioneers establishing the valley below.
A couple of weeks ago I offered my opinion on why The Tribune has been losing subscribers. It was not published. I feel it was just too negative. With that thought in mind, I think The Tribune has gotten really good at saving trees.
