  • Colorado 2016 Highlights
    Colorado 2016 Highlights Paleontology Paleontology Resource Education (BPS #1268): The Royal Gorge Field Office (RGFO) is working with the Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center to create the “Digging It, Fossils of Fremont County Exhibit”. The exhibit highlights the Marsh Quarry among several other historic quarries from the Garden Park Paleontological Area, as well as, various other fossil localities throughout the area and the individuals that worked the quarries. The Museum has developed programs for younger and older students that visit the exhibit that highlight the connection of these locations to public lands. The exhibit is based on the federal fossil collection that they are housing. The exhibit allows public access to parts of the collection. The RGFO and Museum together hosted a Federal Fossil Adoption Ceremony on August 10, 2016. The RGFO assisted in creating a Junior Explorer Activity booklet for the Gold Belt Byway. Funds were raised to print 2,000 copies that were distributed to the public. Over 10 presentations were given by RGFO staff, volunteers, and a General Service Administration student. Most presentations are geared toward elementary aged students. Presentations were given to a local elementary school for Science Friday, the Boys and Girls club, Science Night in Salida, CO, and a Colorado Natural Areas field Trip honoring volunteers. The RGFO participated in the Geological Society of America’s K-12 teacher field camp and is developing Earth Caches for Marsh Quarry and Cleveland Quarry. Photo taken by Kyle Sullivan during the Fossil Adoption Ceremony on August 10, 2016: Present from left Keith Berger RGFO Field Manager, Preston Troutman City of Canon City Mayor, Lisa Studts Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center Curator, Melissa Smeins RGFO Geologist, Harley Armstrong, BLM Colorado Paleontologist.

  • Program Overview Transcript Hello, I'm Richard Hanes, Chief of The
    Program Overview Transcript Hello, I’m Richard Hanes, Chief of the Washington Office’s Division of Cultural and Paleontological Resources and Tribal Consultation, collectively referred to as the agency’s cultural heritage programs.. I’ve been in the BLM’s heritage program since the summer of 1976. I actually started the week that this nation was celebrating its bicentennial – a major point of reflection on the legacy of its first two centuries. I started working with BLM in the Roseburg District of Oregon, but spent most of my career in the Nevada and Oregon state offices before joining the Washington Office. I’m going to provide a brief programmatic overview to BLM’s Cultural Heritage Program that’ll include a visual illustration of some of the world-class landscapes and heritage resources BLM manages. In part, this will provide some cinematic context and backdrop for issues that other modules in this series will address in greater detail. In this presentation, I want to briefly mention our agency and program responsibilities, give you a few program statistics, discuss program objectives, illustrate some of the resources we manage, and discuss what I see as future challenges and opportunities in our program. BLM currently manages 258 million acres of public lands, mostly in the West. BLM also manages about 700 million acres of subsurface mineral resources. In this course, you’ll hear a presentation on the unique challenges and issues that BLM’s cultural resource specialists confront in managing our subsurface estate. BLM encourages visitors to enjoy their public lands and learn about the broad patterns of prehistory and history that shaped our nation.

A portion of the funding also supports the BLM’s partnership with the Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center that is operated by the City of Canon City. Andrew Teaching GSA k-12 Rocky Mountain Regional teacher field trip to Skyline Drive. In addition to these standard accomplishments, Andrew assisted with developing a new exhibit at the museum that highlights the fossils of the Western Interior Seaway in Fremont County and has supported National Fossil Day educational events at the Museum as well. Andrew revised the interpretive signs in the Garden Park Fossil area at both the Marsh Quarry interpretive trail and the Cleveland Quarry site. The look and feel of the interpretive signs have been modernized to current BLM standards and the educational aspect of the signs is significantly improved. This funding also allowed BLM to respond to a record number of requests for educational presentations including several Every Kid in a Park presentations in partnership with our local Fremont County and the Gold Belt Byway Association. The BLM also assisted with the addition of geology and paleontology pages into a local trail/adventure guide that is distributed in 1 | Page the local high schools by a local non-profit (Fremont Adventure Recreation).

  • 2010 Introduction and Key
    History Colorado Colorado Historical Society State Historical Fund All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2010 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2010. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e., a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010 will be coded “10”. The next two characters identify the type of grant.

Most of the Loop winds through public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service, although many mines and buildings are on private property. Today’s explorers come, summer or winter, in 4-wheel-drive vehicles, ATVs, snowmobiles, mountain bikes, and even 2-wheel-drive cars for a short distance. They explore on foot, horseback, or snowshoes, or ski on the numerous trails. Instead of shovels and gold pans, they carry sketchbooks, cameras, fishing rods, and field guides to help them enjoy the grandeur, scenery, solitude, and wildlife of the remote San Juan backcountry. This gem, the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway, is your gateway off the beaten track. Uncompahgre Peak (14,309 feet). ~ Photo courtesy of Bureau of Land Management Rising high above the Alpine Loop, the mountains insist that you acknowledge their presence. All around, a kaleidoscope of summer wildflowers gathers along the trails, and the sounds of cascading streams are everywhere. The pure, clear air startles you with its crisp bite, even before your gasp reminds you of the altitude. In front of you the road beckons, leading you higher and higher into an alpine tapestry of greens, browns, whites, and blues.

Geographical Data___________________________________________________ As defined by Eddy and others (1984:34), the McElmo Drainage Unit includes all lands with drainages that ultimately feed McElmo Creek and the Cross Canyon drainage east of Montezuma Canyon. On the south the boundary is formed by the north slope of the Mesa Verde, the divide between Mud Creek and Navajo Wash, the north slopes of Ute Mountain and the divide between Rincone Canyon and East McElmo Creek. On the west, the boundary is formed by the Colorado State Line, although geographically, the drainage unit continues into Utah. On the north, the boundary follows the divide between Monument Canyon and Squaw and Cross Canyons northeast to a point north and east of Dove Creek, Colorado. The northeast boundary is formed by the 7000 foot contour on a line running from Dove Creek to Puett Reservoir. On the east, the boundary is formed by the divide between McElmo Creek and the Mancos River near the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park.
