Ninety-two percent of the roaded sub-watersheds have road densities in excess of levels where most strong bull trout populations occur and in excess of recommended standards for grizzly bear recovery. Fifty-eight percent of the roaded sub-watersheds have road densities in excess of levels which significantly displace grizzly bear from otherwise preferred habitats.

This report details these findings and explains why these indicators are important for maintaining and restoring watersheds for the wildlife habitat, water quality and fish habitat they provide. Companion spreadsheets allow others to explore the data further and provide a template for investigating similar data on other Forests.
