The TEXAS WRITERS' PROJECT In the fall of 1933 the Civil Works Administration was launched with the objective of giving one million work by Christmas. The State of Connecticut as a part of this national program started an experiment in preparing a Guide to Connecti- cut towns and cities. The book was an immense success, artis- tically and financially, being one of the few 1A projects that not only paid for itself but also actually made money for the sponsors. Two years later as a result of the Connecticut experi- ment there was established by Presidential order a Federal Wri- ters' Project in the Professional and Service Division of the Works Progress Administration under the national directorship of Henry G. Alsberg. Field offices were setup in each of the States and Territories. Administrative and supervisory personnel in- cluded such nationally known writers as Lyle Saxon of Louisiana, Vardis Fisher of Idaho. Texas State Headquarters were establish- ed in San Antonio under the direction of J. Frank Davis, well known Texas author and playwright. In January 1936, a District Field Office for North Central Texas was established in Fort Worth under the supervision of Frank Hunt Bardon. In September 1939, the Federal Writers' Project was abolished and the Fort Worth office became a unit of the Texas Writers 1 Project, sponsored by the Bureau of Research in the Social Sciences of the University of Texas. Ayesarlater, September 1940, the Board of Trustees of the Fort Worth Public Library became a contributing sponsor and the Library Unit of the Project was established with Eugene L. Schilder as Writer Research Editor. The Fort Worth Project has been under the following supe rvi sion: Frank Hunt Bardon: 1938-1938 Ben Boswell: 1936 Eugene L.

Acknowledgments: For over a decade, the Ontario County Planning Department has supported a working partnership between local towns and the Department of Environmental Conservation and Horticulture at Finger Lakes Community College that involves field research, ground truthing and digital mapping of natural land cover and cultural land use patterns. Previous studies have been completed for the Canandaigua Lake watershed, the southern Honeoye Valley, the Honeoye Lake watershed, the complete Towns of Canandaigua, Gorham, Richmond and Victor, and the woodlots, wetlands and riparian corridors in the Towns of Seneca, Phelps and Geneva. This report summarizes the latest land use/land cover study conducted in the Town of Bristol. The final report would not have been completed without the vital assistance of Terry Saxby of the Ontario County Planning Department. He is gratefully thanked for his assistance with landowner information, his patience as the fieldwork was slowly completed, and his noteworthy help transcribing the field maps to geographic information system (GIS) shape files.

Administrative Information: • The Beavertown Lakes Complex ERA Plan contains seven ERAs: Dry-Mesic Northern Forest, Dry Northern Forest, Hardwood Conifer Swamp, Muskeg, Poor Fen, and Rich Conifer Swamp (2). • These ERA’s are located on State Forest land in the Newberry FMU, in Luce County, in compartments 009, 010, 016 and 022. • These seven ERAs are within the Two Hearted Headwaters Management Area (MA). • Luce County, McMillan Township, T48N R12W sections 1-3, 11, 12; T48N R11W sections 5-8, 12- 14, 16-18, 23, 26, and 27; T48N R10W sections 30 and 31. • Primary plan author: Kristen Matson, Forest Resources Division (FRD) EUP Inventory and Planning Specialist; contributors and reviewers include Sherry MacKinnon, Wildlife Division (WLD) Wildlife Ecologist; Keith Kintigh, FRD Forest Certification and Conservation Specialist; Kristie Sitar, WLD Wildlife Biologist; Keith Magnusson, FRD Unit Manager; Jason Tokar, FRD EUP Timber Management Specialist; and Amy Douglass, Matt Payment, and Lester Livermore, FRD Foresters. • While the majority of State of Michigan land in this area is consolidated into large parcels, private lands are interspersed within the ERAs and the surrounding area. (see maps below) • There are no existing infrastructure/facilities within these ERAs. • ERA boundaries are derived from the underling Natural Community EO boundary which are mapped using NatureServe standards. EO Boundaries are informed by vegetation and other site characteristics including soils, landform, and/or historic aerial imagery. As a result, it is not uncommon for EO/ERA boundaries to differ from forest inventory stand boundaries.

Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service The Biological Services Program was established within the U .S . Fish and Wildlife Service to supply scientific information and methodologies on key environmental issues which have an impact on fish and wildlife resources and their supporting ecosystems . The mission of the Program is as follows: 1 . To strengthen the Fish and Wildlife Service in its role as a primary source of information on natural fish and wildlife resources, particularly with respect to environmental impact assessment. 2 . To gather, analyze, and present information that will aid decisionmakers in the identification and resolution of problems associated with major land and water use changes. 3. To provide better ecological information and evaluation for Department of the Interior development programs, such as those relating to energy development . Information developed by the Biological Services Program is intended for use in the planning and decisionmaking process, to prevent or minimize the impact of development on fish and wildlife. Biological Services research activities and technical assistance services are based on an analysis of the issues, the decision- makers involved and their information needs, and an evaluation of the state-of- the-art to identify information gaps and determine priorities . This is a strategy to assure that the products produced and disseminated will be timely and

Metro acquired the lands comprising the KWNA between 2000 and 2012 with funds from two voter- approved open space bond measures. Since 2000, Metro has sought to advance natural area restoration at the site, focusing on the suppression of non-native pasture weeds and planting of native trees and shrubs in higher parts of the floodplain and its edges.

  • A Reassessment of High Quality Natural Communities on Camp Grayling
    A Reassessment of High Quality Natural Communities on Camp Grayling Prepared by: Michael A. Kost and Joshua G. Cohen Michigan Natural Features Inventory P.O Box 30444 Lansing, MI 48909-7944 For: Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs Camp Grayling, MI 49739 June 30, 2005 Report Number 2005-11 Cover photograph: Best Bog on Camp Grayling (M. Kost). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of a reevaluation of 14 natural communities first identified in the early 1990s and discussed in Higman et al. (1994). Several significant changes have occurred since the natural communities were originally documented. Most notably, invasive species present a threat to many of the communities, particularly the mesic sand prairie at the Portage Lake Complex. This site contains a population of the invasive plant, leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula), that threatens to degrade habitat for numerous rare species including Houghton’s goldenrod (Solidago houghtonii), a federally threatened species. Several of the wetlands recently experienced fire, which appears to have bolstered species diversity and habitat heterogeneity in both the wetland and upland habitats. Water levels for many of the wetlands have dropped considerably since first surveyed in the 1990s. This phenomenon is likely the result of regional decreases in water levels tied throughout the Upper Great Lakes Region. Degradation by off road vehicles was observed in two wetlands but was not severe in either, indicating that education, enforcement, and deterrent efforts are having a positive affect. The report contains detailed site summaries and conservation and management recommendations for each natural community with the Results section entitled Site Descriptions and Management Recommendation.
