  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.

  • Nightmare on Elm Trees
    A Publication ofthe American Horticultural Society Volume 69, Number 7 • J uly 1990 $1.50 News Edition Nightmare on Elm Trees Can we ever hope for a rebirth of this beloved native tree? trees go, its flowers are insignificant, its fall color oflittle note, its bark pretty blah. It's susceptible to an endless list of iseases; insects can't get enough of it. ABut what an easily grown and shapely landscape tree it was! Planted in rows along so many American streets, its unique spreading vase shape turned them into veritable cathedrals. But the rows are largely gone now, victim to the Dutch elm disease that was first recognized in the 1930s. Can those of us who grew up under elms hope to go home again? While some scientists continue to look for a cure for Dutch elm disease, breeders are seeking a cultivar of Ulmus americana that's impervious to the disease, or an Asian counterpart that will serve as a substitute. There has been some progress, and some frustrations, on both fronts. Fighting the Fungus John Hansel says he's like a lot of other people who grew up under elms and was incredulous at seeing them begin to die by the hundreds. In 1967, Hansel, the owner of a New Hampshire manufacturing firm, established the Elm Research Institute to raise money for research that might save the elm, and at first, a good deal of that money went toward finding a treatment that would stop or prevent the fungus, Ceratocystis ulmi, that causes Dutch elm disease.

  • Big Indian Wilderness Unit Management Plan
    BIG INDIAN-BEAVERKILL RANGE WILDERNESS AREA UNIT MANAGEMENT PLAN JUNE, 1993 NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION Mario Cuomo Thomas c. Jorling Governor Commissioner BIG INDIAN-BEAVERKILL RANGE WILDERNESS A.REA UNIT MANAGEMENT PLAN PREFACE A rugged, mountainous tract. An area of long, steep-sided ridges with numerous hidden hollows. A great expanse of uninterrupted forest. While there are many ways to describe the Big Indian­ Beaverkill Range Wilderness Area, the most important aspect of this unit of the Catskill Forest Preserve is that it is indeed Wilderness a place where we leave behind the comforts of civilization which give us the illusion of mastering rather than belonging to the environment. The following plan identifies the various resources, both natural and man-made, which make up the Big Indian-Beaverkill Range Wilderness Area. It describes the historical and cultural influences which have shaped the character of the area. Issues and constraints affecting the unit are noted, and both goals and objectives have been developed which will govern the area's future management. The plan proposes specific projects to fulfill these goals and objectives. Although much of the information contained within this plan was developed by Department staff, public input was essential in the decision­ making process. This document represents management objectives rather than a work plan of commitments. Accomplishment of management actions outlined herein is dependent on legislative budget ii appropriations, and sufficient personnel to carry them out. However, where possible the Department will work with volunteer groups and pursue alternative funding sources to accomplish some of the proposed projects.
