  • 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. Four House Studio) components of trail sustainability: • Physical: Trails remains in intended condition with rhythmic vs. tight and twisty) and the distinctive minimal erosion, braiding, or degradation. qualities of a trail or system. • Environmental: Trails minimize disturbance to flora • Challenge tests fitness and ability. Treat each as + fauna and sedimentation to watersheds. Planned a different measure. Ability refers to technical trails systems—even with increased mileage— aptitudes like sure-footedness, bike handling, can yield less impact than existing conditions scrambling or even navigation. Fitness refers by keeping users on trail, reducing erosion and to the capacity for sustained effort required for avoiding areas of greatest habitat sensitivity.

  • Information Sheet: Skateboarding Safety, Page 1 of 3 Last Revised on August 31, 2012 for More Information: Or
    Driving on the Right Side of the Road Skateboarding Safety JUST THE FACTS In 2009, there were approximately 74,841 injuries to children involving skateboards.1 o Of those 74,841 injuries, an estimated 3,054 were serious injuries.2 60% of skateboard injuries involve children under age 15; most of those injured are boys. At highest risk are: o Inexperienced skateboarders. Those who have been skating for less than one week suffer one-third of injuries, usually caused by falls. o Skateboarders who do not wear protective equipment. Every skateboarder should wear standard safety gear. This includes a helmet, wrist guards, elbow and knee pads, and appropriate shoes. Skateboarders who perform tricks should use heavy duty gear. o Skateboarders who go near traffic or use homemade skateboard ramps. Both activities are particularly dangerous. o Experienced skateboarders who encounter unexpected surfaces or try risky stunts. Irregular riding surfaces, rocks, or other debris can cause you to fall. You can stumble over twigs or fall down slopes. Wet pavements and rough or uneven surfaces can cause a wipeout. Avoid risky behavior. Don't skateboard too fast or in dangerous or crowded locations. Skateboarders who have been skating for less than a week suffer one-third of all skateboarding injuries; riders with a year or more of experience have the next highest number of injuries.3 Injuries to first-time skateboarders are mainly due to falls.4 Experienced riders mainly suffer injuries when they fall after their skateboards strike rocks and other irregularities in the riding surface or when they attempt difficult stunts.5 Skateboarding is a special risk for young children6 because: o Children have a higher center of gravity, less development and poor balance.

  • Kidliks Kayak Cover 1.0-HOME
    KIDLIK’ S KAYAK TERRY SHANNON SOME INUIT WORDS The Inuits have no written language of their own. Thus the spelling of Inuit words may vary from one interpreter to another depending on his translation of sound into writing. Words also may vary from one area to another. Artiggi – inner coat or shirt made of skin (worn fur side in) Igloo – winter house (whether made of snow, stone, sod, or wood) Iviuk – walrus Kayak – one-man canoe (sealskin cover over bone or wood frame) Kokiwok – harpoon Komatik – sled Kudele – soapstone lamp, half-moon shaped (used for both light and heat, it burns blubber) Kulitak – outer coat made of skin (worn fur side out) Mukluk – boot made of fur Muktuk – whale skin with blubber still attached (cut in pieces and eaten like candy) Nanook – polar bear Netchik – seal Tuktu – caribou (species of reindeer) Tupik – summer dwelling (generally a tent made of skins) Ugrug – bearded seal Ulu – woman’s knife Umiak – long boat which carries many passengers (usually paddled by women) KIDLIK’S KAYAK All was still outside the igloos in the Inuit village where Kidlik lived. It was evening. In the dusk, the igloos built of snow blocks looked like large mounds with smoothly rounded tops. Lights from the stone lamps inside glowed dimly through the windows made of ice. Kidlik came out of the family igloo and took a deep breath. “The time is almost here,” he said softly to himself. For days he had been seeing signs that the Arctic summer would soon come. The sun was staying longer in the sky, and the sea ice was cracking here and there.

  • Pere Marquette River System Drains an Area of Approximately 740 Square Miles
    5 I. THE WATERSHED AND STUDY AREA A. General Characteristics 1. The Watershed. Located in portions of Lake, Mason, Newaygo and Oceana counties, the Pere Marquette River system drains an area of approximately 740 square miles. Roughly 53 percent of the watershed is in Lake County. The mainstream starts at the confluence of the Middle Branch and Little South Branch, known as the "Forks" and flows in a westerly direction for approximately 67 miles to its mouth at Pere Marquette Lake, just south of the City of Ludington. 2. The Study Area. The area of study included the entire mainstream from its mouth at Pere Marquette Lake, its four major tributaries, the Baldwin River, Little South Branch, Big South Branch and the Middle Branch, as well as the numerous smaller tributaries which make up the system. B. Physiography and Soils The topography of the watershed is rolling to flat. The eastern portion of the basin is characterized by its hilly nature, with the western portion generally being more broad and flat. Like other watersheds in the area, the effects of glaciation are evident. Rolling, hilly moraines, flat outwash plains, kettle and oxbow lakes, eskers, drumlins, and kames can all be found in the watershed. The majority of the watershed is dry sand plains and rolling sandy hills. These well-drained droughty soils make them generally unsuitable for agriculture, and hence, are in pine - scrub oak forests. Poorly drained muck and peat soils are fairly common along the lower portion of the mainstream and the headwaters of the Big South Branch, some of which serve as agricultural drains.

  • Danaher Creek, Lake County –2016 Fisheries Survey Report Mark A
    Danaher Creek, Lake County –2016 Fisheries Survey Report Mark A. Tonello Fisheries Management Biologist October, 2017 Environment Danaher Creek is a small, second order tributary to the Pere Marquette River in southwestern Lake County, Michigan. The creek originates from springs in the vicinity of M-37 with some reports indicating the stream begins as underground flow from L Lake #1 (also known as Little Lake #1). The stream channel becomes more defined downstream of the railroad tracks in Section 28 (Pleasant Plains Township). From there it flows generally northwest for approximately 4 miles before joining the Pere Marquette River. Danaher Creek has one tributary, Jenks Creek. Over that distance, Danaher Creek has a gradient of approximately 18 feet per mile. Over its course, Danaher Creek flows through both private and federally owned land (Manistee National Forest). The lower ½ mile of the stream flows through the Pere Marquette Rod and Gun Club (PMRGC), which is a private hunting and fishing club. One prominent feature in the Danaher Creek watershed is a large dam/impoundment that is located approximately 800 feet upstream of the confluence with the Pere Marquette River, on Rod and Gun Club property. The dam blocks all upstream fish passage and significantly warms the water in Danaher Creek downstream of the dam. The dam was originally constructed in 1928 or 1929. It washed out in the flood of 1986, and despite objections from MDNR Fisheries Division, the dam was reconstructed in 1987 and 1988 (Anonymous 2013). The dam has approximately 20 feet of head and creates an impoundment of 15 acres.
