  • C. Developing Trail Systems
    C. DEVELOPING TRAIL SYSTEMS Trails are more than simply lines on a map, a form of transportation or route to destinations. Trails are an experience. Engaging trails systems provide a sense of unique place, highlight natural topography and attract outdoor-based tourism. A vast and varied experience hooks trails users and leaves them wanting to return for more exploration. This tool kit offers suggestions for building destination-worthy trail systems. Best Management Practices For Developing Trail Systems Sustainability Simplified. Sustainable trails provide an intended experience in a steady state with minimal undesired impacts. Sustainability does not have to mean “sanitizing” or “dumbing- down” trails… yet, expect to hear that concern. Well-designed trail systems need not come at the detriment of natural resources. Trails can actually help protect resources by fostering appreciation for the great outdoors and by managing users Greenbelt Trail in Costilla County (courtesy of Root to minimize impacts while maximizing fun.

    SC RE THE HOME OF SCOTTISH ORIENTEERING JUNE 2018 2018 British & Scottish Championships Volunteer’s Day Young Orienteer of the Year • Urban Orienteering • Strength & Conditioning Training • After-school Orienteering Clubs Plus lots more... magazine of the SCOTTISH ORIENTEERING ASSOCIATION Welcome SCOTTISH ORIENTEERING HAS had a busy and eventful spring and run-up to summer. Back-to-back British & Scottish Championships taxed the time and energy of many of our clubs and their members.

This issue is later than usual so that all SCORE Editor: events could be included. Sheila Reynolds SCORE@scottish-orienteering. Event write-ups read better when written by orienteers – you will org notice the difference in the reporting of events written by myself, About Orienteering: and those written by your fellow orienteers. With each issue I appeal Information on orienteering or for contributors – please contact me if you’re willing to write about any SOA activity can be your club, events, or orienteering adventures. Profiles, map analysis, obtained from the Association training, club news – I welcome all of it.

  • An Introduction to Trail Orienteering for Organisers, Planners and Participants
    IntrO Paralympic class and Open class competitors at WTOC 2013 in France An introduction to trail orienteering for organisers, planners and participants. Sept 2013 1. Introduction This manual is for organisers, planners and participants unfamiliar with trail orienteering or wishing to refresh their understanding of it. It deals with IntrO, which is the name given to a simplified introductory form of trail orienteering. Those reading this manual are almost certainly familiar with orienteering, as generally practised, and may have some idea about trail orienteering. But there can be misconceptions, so the essential elements of the discipline are re-stated here. Trail orienteering is a world sport FootO MTBO SkiO TrailO TrailO is one of the four disciplines of orienteering, governed by the International Orienteering Federation, based in Helsinki, Finland. All four disciples have annual world championships. TrailO is not yet as widespread as FootO but extends from the USA to Japan (via Europe). Trail orienteering is a sport for all Do not misinterpret the official trailO logo. Although the discipline was specially designed as a non-athletic, intellectual version of orienteering, in order that those in wheelchairs and others with mobility difficulties can take full part in competition, so can the able-bodied. TrailO events are always open to all without regard to age, gender or mobility impairment, but may also have a closed ‘Paralympic’ class, usually on the same course. The popularity of trailO is such that the majority of participants are able-bodied including world champion foot orienteers. It is particularly attractive to those orienteers who, for whatever reason, find foot orienteering becoming too physical but wish to continue participating in orienteering.

  • Mid-Atlantic Coastal and Ocean Recreation Study
    New Jersey MID-ATLANTIC COASTAL AND OCEAN RECREATION STUDY The Surfrider Foundation, in partnership with Point 97, The Nature Conservancy, and Monmouth University’s Urban Coast Institute, (the Team), and in collaboration with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO), conducted a Coastal and Ocean Recreation Study (Study) for the Mid-Atlantic region in 2013-2014. The Study engaged recreational users and the public in providing data on “non-consumptive” recreational use, including surfing, diving, kayaking, beach going, and wildlife viewing. This data was previously unavailable and fills a key gap in our understanding of coastal and ocean uses in New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic. METHODS The Team used a web-based survey accessible by mobile phones, tablets, or desktop/laptop computers to collect data from respondents on recreational use patterns, trip expenditures, and demographics. To obtain this data, the survey included a series of questions and an easy-to-use interactive mapping tool, where respondents could mark the places they went to recreate over the last year. The Team then analyzed the resulting spatial data to develop maps indicating intensity of use for recreational activities in the region (see map insert). To promote participation in the Study, the Team conducted outreach to over 300 recreational groups and businesses throughout the Mid- Atlantic region. In total, Mid-Atlantic respondents completed nearly 1,500 surveys resulting in over 22,000 unique data points. NEW JERSEY: STUDY FINDINGS Coastal and ocean recreation encompasses a popular and diverse group of activities in New Jersey (see graphic below) resulting in major economic and social benefits to coastal communities.
