Young Activists Start New Club by Sarah Cohen ‘14 The Postscript March 14, 2012 The Park School of Baltimore | P.O. Box 8200 Brooklandville, MD 21022 Volume 72 Issue No.6 Young activists start new club by Sarah Cohen ‘14 A new endangered species club has transformed an eager group of Lower School students into a band of wildlife preservationists. Student interest fi rst cropped up last year when Hailey Smith ’20 organized an after-school event devoted to the red panda, a small Himalayan cat classifi ed by the IUCN as “Vulnerable.” About sixty kids showed up to the event, which in- cluded an information session about en- dangered species, and various fundraising opportunities. Inspired by the program’s success, the student attendees hungered for more and, Catherine Ambler, Lindsey Hendricks, Angela Doyle, soon after, they expressed interest in form- ing a club. history science math The club currently has around 15 Low- photos by M.

Untouched areas of \"wilderness\" may seem like a good idea to some but what it really does is cut the effectiveness of the Forest Service to manage the land. As you are aware of, wilderness areas can be devastated by Gypsy moth infestation, tree diseases, ice storms and fire to name a few and the FS will be helpless to implement any recovery plans. I also believe a lot of the interest for new wilderness is not brought here by local people that actually use the forest but by special interest groups who have never been to the GW/JNF and have their own agendas. I feel that the back country designation achieves everything a wilderness area designation does with out tying the hands of the FS. I would also like to voice my concerns over OHV trails in the national forest. At this time there are a documented 244 miles designated OHV trails in the forest. Unfortunately, I and many others can\'t tell the difference between a \"High vehicle clearance\" roads and a normal fire road. We as the OHV community are all for protecting the environment and treading lightly as witnessed by all the volunteer actions such as trail clean ups, trail repairs and assisting the forest service in various OHV projects, but if a trail is maintained at a level that a non high clearance vehicle can navigate it, then the \"High vehicle clearance\" designation is moot.

In the south, Tuscarora begins at the junction of the Appalachian Trail (AT) near Camp Matthews Arm, 0.4 miles (0.64 km) south of the AT Skyline Drive intersection at MP 21.1 in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. To the north, it joins the Appalachian Trail at the top of the Blue Mountains west of the Susquehanna River and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, creating a 435-mile (700.1 km) circuit known as the Tuscaloach Loop. The Tuscor Trail was built as an alternative parallel route for the Appalachian Trail. It was built further west, in a wilder corridor, because there were fears that the development would force the closure of AT, before the adoption of the National Scenic Trails Act of 1968. The tuscarora trail was originally built as two separate trails: the 142 miles (228.5 km) Big Blue Trail in Virginia and West Virginia, and the 110 miles (177.0 km) Tuscarora Trail in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

    Citizens Task Force on National Forest Management 2428 Guilford Avenue Roanoke Virginia 24015 March 11, 2010 Maureen Hyzer, Supervisor George Washington & Jefferson National Forests 5162 Valleypointe Parkway Roanoke, VA 24019 Re: COMMENTS ON GWNF DRAFT ISSUES Dear Forest Supervisor Hyzer: The Citizens Task Force on National Forest Management has the following preliminary comments responding to the Notice of Intent to revise the George Washington National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan which appeared in the Federal Register on March 10, 2010. We will provide more detailed comments later, but we believe it is important to bring to your attention at an early date some serious deficiency with the process you are following in revising the GWNF plan. As we note below, the appropriate remedy at this time is to withdraw the March 10 NOI and reissued it to focus only on scoping for public issues and give the dates for public meeting. The NOI says we should comment on documents that are contained on the GWNF web site. A cursory count shows 37 new documents for the public to review, plus scores of old documents---the exact number is irrelevant. Documents such as the draft plan components/proposed actions, alternatives, need for change/analysis of management situation, climate change discussion, and potential wilderness/roadless area evaluations should be reviewed by the public in the draft EIS/plan stage, after analysis has been conducted under the planning process set up under the 1982 regulations. The purpose of a NOI is to begin the scoping process for the public and to notice the public about scoping meetings.
