Abstract: The Forest Reserve Range Distribution Units dataset represent the functional grazing management areas within the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve. Boundaries of the allotments and/or distribution units may be defined by fencelines, height of land, natural boundaries, and/or a combination of these. This is currently the most accurate representation of the distribution unit boundary and is subject to change. In some cases these boundaries may extend beyond the boundary of the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve. In these cases this is a representation of the management unit as a whole.

Abstract:
The Forest Reserve Range Distribution Units dataset represent the functional grazing management areas within
the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve. Boundaries of the allotments and/or distribution units may be defined by
fencelines, height of land, natural boundaries, and/or a combination of these. This is currently the most
accurate representation of the distribution unit boundary and is subject to change. In some cases these
boundaries may extend beyond the boundary of the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve. In these cases this is a
representation of the management unit as a whole.
Purpose:
The Forest Reserve Range Distribution Units dataset is used to define the boundaries for the issuance and
management of grazing rights within the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve. Forage allocation and use is managed
under the authority of the Forest Reserves Act and Forest Reserves Regulation. Section 21 of the Forest
Reserves Regulation outlines the requirement to ensure these grazing rights are upheld by other users on the
landscape.
