    THE MORNING STAR INSTITUTE 611 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20003 (202) 547-5531 News Statement For Immediate Release JUNE 20-26 SET FOR 2013 NATIONAL SACRED PLACES PRAYER DAYS Washington, DC (6/16/13)—Observances and ceremonies will be held across the land from June 20 through June 26 to mark the 2013 National Days of Prayer to Protect Native American Sacred Places. The observance in Washington, D.C. will be held on Thursday, June 20, at 8:30 a.m., on the United States Capitol Grounds, West Front Grassy Area (see details under Washington, D.C. in the alphabetical listing by state on the following pages). Descriptions of certain sacred places and threats they face, as well as times and places for public commemorations are listed in these pages. Some of the gatherings highlighted in this release are educational forums, not religious ceremonies, and are open to the general public. Others are ceremonial and may be conducted in private. In addition to those listed below, there will be observances and prayers offered at other sacred places that are under threat and at those not endangered at this time. “Native and non-Native people gather at this Solstice time for ceremonies and events to honor sacred places, but everyone can honor these precious lands and waters all the time by simply respecting them and not allowing them to be harmed,” said Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne & Hodulgee Muscogee). She is President of The Morning Star Institute, which organizes the National Sacred Places Prayer Days. “Observances are necessary,” she said, “because Native Peoples are engaged in myriad struggles with developers that endanger or destroy Native sacred places.” The U.S.

  • Tennessee State Parks' All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory
    Tennessee State Parks’ All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory By LinnAnn Welch In 2003, the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory began in Tennessee State Parks with the intention of inventorying and monitoring biological features. The program not only provides much needed data to help better protect the creatures we know reside in our parks, but it will help us discover those thousands of plants and animals yet to be found in parks or even yet known to science. The inventory utilizes existing park staff, local universities and schools, community volunteers, and others with expertise or interest in biological topics. Professor Rex Barber and Volunteer State Community College students The ATBI is an on-going project in the Great Smoky Mountains record data in one of the permanent National Park, the first comprehensive biological inventory of its kind study plots for plants at Edgar Evins to be undertaken in North America. With the creation of a new State Park. (Photo Courtesy of Volunteer section of Tennessee State Parks, Natural and Cultural Resource State Community College) Management, a similar program started with the support of biologists from the Smokies and from non-profit Discover Life in America. For years, Charlie Tate, now director of NCRM, had envisioned state parks following the Smokies example. Resource Manager and long-time parks historian Jack Gilpin was chosen to supervise the ATBI staff. I was given the task of establishing the studies, developing protocol, and recruiting universities for each park. At the beginning of our ATBI efforts, representatives from approximately 20 universities, many state parks, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Discover Life in America converged at Montgomery Bell State Park for a three-day meeting about ATBI.

  • 90 Dams Removed in 2019 to Restore Rivers
    90 Dams Removed in 2019 to Restore Rivers American Rivers releases annual list including dams in Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin for a total of 26 states. Nationwide, 1,722 dams have been removed from 1912 through 2019. Dam removal brings a variety of benefits to local communities, including restoring river health and clean water, revitalizing fish and wildlife, improving public safety and recreation, and enhancing local economies. Working in a variety of functions with partner organizations throughout the country, American Rivers contributed financial and technical support in many of the removals. Contact information is provided for dam removals, if available. For further information about the list, please contact Jessie Thomas-Blate, American Rivers, Director of River Restoration at 202.347.7550 or [email protected]. This list includes all dam removals reported to American Rivers (as of February 6, 2020) that occurred in 2019, regardless of the level of American Rivers’ involvement. Inclusion on this list does not indicate endorsement by American Rivers. Dams are categorized alphabetically by state. Howle and Turner Dam, Tallapoosa River, Alabama The removal of Howle and Turner Dam was in the works for over four years. This project was the result of a great partnership between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Partners for Fish and Wildlife program and the Alabama Rivers and Streams Network. The Service coordinated the pre-restoration planning and worked with their Fisheries and Aquatic Conservation Aquatic Habitat Restoration Team to carry out the demolition and restoration of the river channel.
