The core mission is derived from the park’s enabling legislation and/or proclamation establishing the park unit and subsequent legislation specific to that unit. As such, it provides basic guidance—a foundation for planning and management. Increasing emphasis on government accountability and restrained federal spending demand that all stakeholders are aware of the purpose, significance, interpretive themes, fundamental resources and values, and special mandates and administrative commitments of a park unit, as well as the legal and policy requirements for administration and resource protection that factor into management decisions. A primary benefit of developing a foundation document is the opportunity to integrate and coordinate all kinds and levels of planning from a single, shared understanding of what is most important about the park. The process of developing a foundation document begins with gathering and integrating information about the park. Next, this information is refined and focused to determine what the most important attributes of the park are. The process of preparing a foundation document aids park managers, staff, and the public in identifying and clearly stating in one document the essential information that is necessary for park management to consider when determining future planning efforts, outlining key planning issues, and protecting resources and values that are integral to park purpose and identity. A foundation document serves as the underlying guidance for management and planning decisions for a national park unit. It describes the core mission of the park unit by identifying the purpose, significance, fundamental and important resources and values, interpretive themes, assessment of planning and data needs, special mandates and administrative commitments, and the unit’s setting in the regional context. The development of a foundation document for Bryce Canyon National Park is an important part of effectively managing the park over the long term and protecting park resources and values that are integral to the purpose and identity of the park unit. The park atlas is also a part of the foundation project. It is a geographic information system (GIS) product that can be published as a hard copy paper atlas and as electronic geospatial data in a Web-mapping environment. The purpose of the park atlas is to act as a reference for park projects and to facilitate planning decisions as a GIS-based planning support tool. The atlas covers various geographic elements that are important for park management such as natural and cultural resources, visitor use patterns, and facilities. It can be developed as part of a planning project (e.g., general management plan or foundation document), although it can also be designed as an independent product. Engagement with state and local governments, American Indian tribes and interested organizations is an essential aspect of park management. Decisions of local government and national park managers have reciprocal effects. Bryce Canyon National Park is an important part of the local and regional community. The park will strive to develop beneficial relationships and work cooperatively with local governments, Indian tribes, and civic organizations to find solutions to problems, and identify opportunities to sustain and enhance cooperative conservation, education, visitor services, local commerce, emergency response plans, and other activities of joint interest within established authorities and NPS policies. 1 Foundation Document 2 Trail 3 mi Distance Restrooms Amphitheater Overlook 5 km indicator Ranger station Campground Horse/hiking Picnic area Unpaved road trail Shuttle bus stop Backcountry campsite To Antimony 36 mi 0 0.5 1 Kilometer 58 km 0 0.5 1 Mile North S F F I L C K er S iv N L R I L I L P H I T E r T IN ie L l P v E e i E H S a H E T r N Visitor Center T D E R Bryce Canyon p R k Shakespear Point i o r Airport S m o o O 7842 ft F Tower N L 2390 m C Chinese Bridge A d To 89 T t N Wall s n Y r 11mi a a a E O l il 18km N y 12 r North i a 3 mi TR F O 5km PI C C A 087 63 Mossy N Y Dump station Cave O N P Trail I Paria NYON N CA River 6832 ft Horse Trail K r 2082 m (horses only) e Mossy v WA R i TE General store Cave To Escalante R Showers n Bryce Canyon City J 33mi e T C d r O r Shuttle Parking a 53km Que a L L Laundry e i L n G s l E and Boarding Area I Y F r F H e O Sunrise i h S v itc ic D L e p ro L S T O Point W Corral R i Queen m k Lodge Victoria r o F T r 3 mi a 5 km i l ek B re ryce C D Fairyland Point AV To ES t 7758 ft F Thors Hammer s A a Tropic 2365 m IR E H OL Y LO 1 mi LA W N Y 2 km D E Fairyland CA Sunset N N Sinking Ship L O B YO Sunset O N 7405 ft L Y A T 2257 m N M A Point ESA A V C Navajo DIXIE 1 mi Silent C 2 km Trai A Fairyland Loop Trail Loop l M City Wall im PB Peekaboo Loop Trail R EL Trail NATIONAL FOREST L ON Street NY C E Horse/hiking trail CA I C Bryce Amphitheater (see detail map) P Y O R Tower R B Visitor Center Bridge T The Bristlecone Inspiration Point Cathedral 7894 ft 2406 m Point U 8017 ft A Sunrise Point 2444 m Road closed A N Y O N ek 7 mi E C re here during C The 11 km 2 mi Lodge E yce winter storms No T B R Y C Br trailers Alligator 3 km A beyond 7200 ft s L Sunset Point 2195 m this point w summer 8000 ft o only 2438 m d P n i 8100 ft R W i 2469 m m f o Inspiration Point T l ra l Road closed here il a during winter storms W 8296 ft R Bryce Point im Bryce Point 2529 m T No trailers T rail N beyond this point Under-the-Rim Trail U 2 mi (Bryce Point to Rainbow Point) 3 km G Hat Shop 2 mi Under-the- U Rim Trail 3 km A 3 mi 5 km S North Paria View N 8176 ft 0 0.5 Kilometer 2492 m To To U BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK Rainbow Point 0 0.5 Mile Paria View A Creek P To w King Creek Yello Sheep Creek Group site Connecting Trail 6800 ft 2073 m S W F F H P I I I N L T K C E Swamp Canyon M Und 7998 ft er- A 2438 m th e -Rim Trail Tropic N Reservoir Swamp Canyon Connecting Trail Pas tu S re h e e W p N a s O h Y Swamp B N Canyon Butte E 3 mi A C N 8302 ft 5 km 2534 m C P H E M a C A s re SHEEP CREEK FLAT t e k W S N Mud Canyon O NY CA UD Butte M 8330 ft 2539 m F o r k N O Y N U A C n d S Noon Canyon e Whiteman e v r Butte i - e Connecting t 8466 ft N r h O NO Trail e 2580 m - R i m T R r i v a e i r GARFIELD COUNTY l KANE COUNTY Piracy Point Farview Point 8819 ft 2688 m W il lis NYON Natural CA GE Bridge ID Creek BR DIXIE 6 mi P 10 km I N N K O NATIONAL FOREST Y N A C C L I F A U Deer Mountain F G A 7833 ft S 2387 m N O Horse Y N Mountain Agua A C Canyon Agua A Canyon S Connecting O R Trail E D E N G O ID P R Ponderosa Canyon 8766 ft A 2672 m S O ER D ON Black Iron P Birch Spring Canyon Under-the-Rim Trail (Rainbow Point to Bryce Point) r e v i 2 mi R 3 km Riggs Spring Loop Trail r THE P e RO i M v O N e Bristlecone T S Rainbow Point O Loop Trail R 9115 ft Y 2778 m Yovimpa Twin Point Hills C O k R r R o A F L H O M L U L T O t T s Yovimpa O W a N E Pass H O PINK CLIFFS L L O W Group site Riggs Spring 7480 ft 2280 m Trail 3 mi Distance Restrooms Amphitheater Overlook 5 km indicator Ranger station Campground Horse/hiking Picnic area Unpaved road trail Shuttle bus stop Backcountry campsite To Antimony 36 mi 0 0.5 1 Kilometer 58 km 0 0.5 1 Mile North S F F I L C K er S iv N L R I L I L P H I T E r T IN ie L P v E e E H S H E T N D E Bryce Canyon k R Shakespear Point r Airport S o O 7842 ft F N 2390 m C A To 89 t N s 11mi a Y E O 18km N 12 T 3 mi RO 5km PI C C A 087 63 Mossy N Y Cave O N P Trail I Paria NYON N CA River 6832 ft K r 2082 m e Mossy v WA R i TE Cave To Escalante R Bryce Canyon City J 33mi C O Shuttle Parking 53km L L L E and Boarding Area I Y F r F H e O i h S v itc ic D L e p ro L S T O W k r o F 3 mi 5 km D Fairyland Point AV ES t 7758 ft F s A a 2365 m IR E H OL Y LO 1 mi LA W N Y 2 km D E Fairyland CA N Sinking Ship L B YO O N 7405 ft L AT 2257 m M A ESA V DIXIE 1 mi C 2 km Tra A Fairyland Loop Trail il M im PB R EL NATIONAL FOREST L N

  • Light Pollution and the Impacts on Biodiversity, Species and Their Habitats P
    LIGHT POLLUTION AND THE IMPACTS ON BIODIVERSITY, SPECIES AND THEIR HABITATS P. DEDA, I. ELBERTZHAGEN, M. KLUSSMANN Secretariat of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (UNEP-CMS) What is ecological light pollution? Longcore and Rich describe artificial light that alters the natural patterns of light and dark in ecosystems as “ecological light pollution”.7 Ecological light pollution comprises direct glare, chronically increased illumination and temporary, unexpected fluctuations in lighting. The sources of ecological light pol- lution are very various and found in nearly every ecosystem in the form of “sky glow, illuminated buildings and towers, streetlights, fishing boats, security lights, lights on vehicles, flares on offshore oil platforms, and even lights on undersea research ves- sels”.7 Impacts of light pollution Because the study of light pollution is still in its early days the impacts of this prob- lem are not fully understood. While the increased brightness of the night sky is the most familiar of the many effects of light pollution (it is the most obvious and astronomers recognized it many years ago) many other alarming aspects are still unexplored: for example, the fact that light pollution leads to a great wastage of energy. On a global scale, approximately 19% of all electricity used produces light at night.18 The by-prod- uct of electric illumination generated by the burning of fossil fuels, is the discharge of greenhouse gases. These gases are responsible for global warming and the exhaustion of non-renewable resources. Light pollution produces many other impacts on the environment. Harmful effects involve the animal kingdom, the vegetable kingdom and mankind.

  • Scotobiology: the Biology of the Dark
    SCOTOBIOLOGY: THE BIOLOGY OF THE DARK An outline for public information prepared by Dr. R.G.S. Bidwell, Wallace, NS What is Scotobiology? The concept of scotobiology as a science was developed at a conference on light pollution held in Muskoka, Ontario, in 2003. It was recognized that the underlying principle was the deleterious effect of light pollution on the operation of biological systems, ranging from their biochemistry and physiology to their social behaviour. Scotobiology is the study of biological systems that require nightly darkness for their effective performance; systems that are inhibited or prevented from operating by light. Why is Scotobiology important? Virtually all biological systems evolved in an environment of alternating light and darkness. Furthermore, the light/dark periods in temperate zones vary with the seasons. Organisms have evolved to use the variations in the length of day and night to integrate their physiological and social behaviour with the seasons. Many organisms measure specifically the length of the night, and light pollution may prevent them from determining the season, with serious of deadly consequences. For this reason light pollution is recognized as being a major component of global pollution, and scotobiology, the study of its specific effects on organisms, has now become an important branch of biological research. Summary of specific scotobiological responses Insects: Insects tend to fly towards light. Light pollution thus causes insects to concentrate around bright lights at night with several serious consequences. First, they become easy prey for birds and predacious insects. Insect numbers are reduced by their disorientation and death around lights, and also because they are concentrated where natural predators have an unnatural advantage to capture them.
