  • Wilderness Visitors and Recreation Impacts: Baseline Data Available for Twentieth Century Conditions
    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

  • Josie Pearl, Prospector on Nevada's Black Rock Desert
    JUNE, 1962 40c • • • • . Author's car crossing the playa of Black Rock Desert in northwestern Nevada. On Black Rock Desert Trails When Dora Tucker and Nell Murbarger first began exploring the Black Rock country in northwestern Nevada they did not realize what a high, wide and wild country it was. On the Black Rock a hundred miles doesn't mean a thing. In the 10,000 square miles of this desert wasteland there isn't a foot of pavement nor a mile of railroad— neither gasoline station nor postoffice. Antelopes out-number human beings fifty to one.

  • Lovelock-Cave-Back-Country-Byway
    Back Country Byways . An Invitation to Discover There is an axiom among seasoned travelers advising that the best way to get to know a new place is to get off the highway and visit the back roads, the side trails and the hidden, out-of-the-way corners where the true qualities wait to be discovered. The same axiom holds true for America’s public lands, the vast reaches of our nation that are all too often seen only from the windows of speeding cars or the tiny portholes of airliners. The Bureau of Land Management, America’s largest land managing agency, is providing an exciting opportunity for more Americans to get to know their lands by getting off the main roads for leisurely trips on a series of roads and trails being dedicated as Back Country Byways. The Back Country Byways Program, an outgrowth of the national Scenic Byways Program, is designed to encourage greater use of these existing back roads through greater public awareness. The system is BUREAUREAU OOFF LANDLAND MANMANAGEMENTGEMENT expected to expand to 100 roads when completed. In Nevada, each byway has a character and beauty of its own, taking travelers through scenery that is uniquely Nevadan, into historic areas that helped shape our state and near areas that have been largely untouched by man. They can see the multiple uses of their lands and come to a greater awareness of the need for the conservation and wise use of these resources. And all this can be accomplished at little cost to the taxpayer. Because the roads are already in place, only interpretive signs and limited facilities are needed to better serve the public.

  • PICH Awardee Impact Statements
    PICH Awardee Impact Statements Background The Partnership to Improve Community Health (PICH) initiative funded 29 communities from FY2014 through FY2017 to reduce chronic disease risk factors. Awardees implemented evidence-based policy, system, and environmental interventions to improve nutrition and physical activity, reduce tobacco use and exposure, and strengthen community-clinical linkages. PICH awardee impact statements describe the short-term impacts of the PICH initiative. These impact statements were created using data from awardee Community Action Plans, awardee Progress Reports, and census data. All data were reviewed for clarity and potential duplicate reporting. Impact statements were created during two timeframes: 2016 and 2017. Each awardee has at least two impact statements; if there were additional data, additional impact statements were developed. Fort Defiance Indian Hospital Board, Inc. (Arizona) Nutrition As of September 2017, Fort Defiance Indian Hospital Board, Inc. increased access to healthy food and beverages for an estimated 59,838 Native American residents in Arizona. PICH staff supported the development of 23 farmers’ markets. To increase interest among vendors and address the misperception that farmers’ markets are for vendors who sell surplus vegetables at a low cost, PICH staff set up trainings and recruited farmers, growers, and partners to participate. Community Health Workers (CHWs) were used to find partners, organize markets, set schedules, and get community input and support. PICH staff conducted surveys at farmers’ markets and each market included a cultural component coupled with a public health component consisting of healthy living messages, eating/eating healthy, and taking care of oneself. They also invited local health related resources to participate and they assisted with outreach, public information, educations, and demonstrations.

  • American Indian Law Journal
    American Indian Law Journal Volume III, Issue II • Spring 2015 “The Spirit of Justice” by Artist Terrance Guardipee Supported by the Center for Indian Law & Policy SPIRIT OF JUSTICE Terrence Guardipee and Catherine Black Horse donated this original work of art to the Center for Indian Law and Policy in November 2012 in appreciation for the work the Center engages in on behalf of Indian and Native peoples throughout the United States, including educating and training a new generation of lawyers to carry on the struggle for justice. The piece was created by Mr. Guardipee, who is from the Blackfeet Tribe in Montana and is known all over the country and internationally for his amazing ledger map collage paintings and other works of art. He was among the very first artists to revive the ledger art tradition and in the process has made it into his own map collage concept. These works of art incorporate traditional Blackfeet images into Mr. Guardipee’s contemporary form of ledger art. He attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Sante Fe, New Mexico. His work has won top awards at the Santa Fe Market, the Heard Museum Indian Market, and the Autrey Museum Intertribal Market Place. He also has been featured a featured artists at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., along with the Museum of Natural History in Hanover, Germany, and the Hood Museum at Dartmouth College.
