Benedict Former Director Division of Forest Pest Control Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington, D.C. March 1981 1'or sale by the Su,erintiideiit of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 Foreword With much personal satisfaction I write this introduc- tion to Warren Benedict's story of white pine blister rust control. I first came in contact with this work in the 1930's. Whenever I visited Blister Rust Control (BRC) camps I always came away with the feeling that these young men were helping to save a valuable natural resource and that in the process they were learning much about forest conserva- tion. Moreover, thousands and thousands of young people were having this useful experience. Several years ago I repeatedly urged that someone write thehistoryoftheBlisterRust Control Program. Obviously, if a history of this kind were done, it should be done by someone who has had actual experience in the pro- gram. If some future historian without such experience should attempt to write the story merely by compiling scat- tered statistics, it would be not only a dry as dust account but the statistics might not be fully understood. Nearly all the former top administrators of the BRC program are gone. As one of the very few top BRC people still alive, we thought that Benedict's nearly half a century of intimate knowledge of this program should be utilized before it was too late. So we asked "Blister Rust Bennie" if he would collect the facts and write the BRC history. This report is the result of that request. Benedict's story of the widespread efforts to control this pernicious tree disease is interesting, convincing, and accu- rate because it was written from firsthand knowledge. It is a significantcontributiontothehistoryof resource conservation. RICHARD E. MCARDLE Former Chief, Forest Service The fight against blister rust was the first large-sea Ic nationwide attempt to contain a forest disease, and it dramatized that forest protection meant more than just lighting fire This history should provide some lessons to forest ecologists today who must choose among various means of environmental manipulation wish limited funds, as did the Blister Rust Control Program The Forest Insect and Disease Management Staffand the H istoty Section.

Forest Service. cooperated in the preparation and pnblica- non of this informal but informative history of the White Pine Blister Rust Control Program U Preface 1 expect more material has been written about blister rust than any other tree disease in America. A comprehen- sive bibliography on blister rust assembled by Roy Hoff of the Forest Service Genetics Laboratory at Moscow, Idaho, contains 2,228 entries. In addition, six file cases of mate- rial, including mostly internal records and correspondence, were stored in the Federal Records Center, Suitland, Md. To have examined all this material, even superficially, would have taken a big cut from my remaining lifetime. But to do so was hardly necessary since I spent more than 42 years working on blister rust in one capacity or another and helped establish the western control program. Conse- quently, I became acquainted with the leaders of the blister rust program including personnel of the Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, State agencies, conservation groups, and timber companies. As a result, I have drawn upon my own background and experiences to put together a large part of this story. The material I reviewed, both published and unpublished, is listed in appendix I. In addition, I had the pleasure of visiting all the white pine regions to interview many oldtimers. They have pro- vided much helpful information on how blister rust control work was accomplished in their respective regions, areas, States, and districts. Their detailed descriptions have proved to be a valuable source of information. In all, 1 interviewed 35 former "blister rusters." A com- plete list of their names appears in appendix II. While it is impossible to comment upon them individually,I do Warren V. Benedict extend a hearty thanks to each one for his cooperation. To the following 10, I extend special thanks for arranging Warren V.

Fought on 30 July 1864, during the Siege of Petersburg, the Battle of the Crater, according to the National Park Service, is one of the most important events of the Civil War. The participation of African-American troops in the battle and the subsequent execution of black prisoners highlights the racial animosities that were the underpinning causes of this conflict. The goal of this project is to document the level of integrity of any archaeological resources connected with this field of conflict and to examine how far the Union troops advance beyond the mouth of the Crater.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

    Effects of Intensification of Silviculture on Plant Diversity in Northern Temperate and Boreal Forests of Ontario, Canada by Frederick Wayne Bell A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science Guelph, Ontario, Canada © F. Wayne Bell, January, 2015 ABSTRACT EFFECTS OF INTENSIFICATION OF SILVICULTURE ON PLANT DIVERSITY IN NORTHERN TEMPERATE AND BOREAL FORESTS OF ONTARIO, CANADA Frederick Wayne Bell Advisors: University of Guelph, 2015 Professor S. Hunt Professor S. G. Newmaster Professor M. Anand Dr. I. Aubin Dr. J. A. Baker This thesis is an investigation of the intensification of silviculture has long presented a conundrum to forest managers in the northern temperate and boreal forests of Ontario, Canada aiming to sustainably produce wood fibre and conserve biodiversity. Although intensive silviculture has long been viewed as a threat to biodiversity, it is also considered as a means to increase wood fibre production. In this thesis I determine the nature of the biodiversity– silviculture intensity relationships and improve our understanding of the mechanisms that underpin these relationships. More specifically, studied (i) compositional and functional biodiversity-silviculture intensity relationships, (ii) the relative influence of silviculture on species richness, (iii) effects of intensification of silviculture on functional response groups, and (iv) susceptibility to invasion. My results are based on fifth-year post-harvest NEBIE plot network data. Initiated in 2001, the NEBIE plot network is the only study in North America that provides a gradient of silviculture intensities in northern temperate and boreal forests. The NEBIE plot network is ii located in northern temperate and boreal forests near North Bay, Petawawa, Dryden, Timmins, Kapuskasing, and Sioux Lookout, Ontario, Canada.

    Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America There are approximately 101,135sexual abuse claims filed. Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or database, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, without written permission of the authors. Produced with financial assistance from The Couchiching Conservancy. The City of Kawartha Lakes Flora Project is sponsored by the Kawartha Field Naturalists based in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. In 2008, information about plants in CKL was scattered and scarce. At the urging of Michael Oldham, Biologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour formed a committee with goals to: • Generate a list of species found in CKL and their distribution, vouchered by specimens to be housed at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, making them available for future study by the scientific community; • Improve understanding of natural heritage systems in the CKL; • Provide insight into changes in the local plant communities as a result of pressures from introduced species, climate change and population growth; and, • Publish the findings of the project . Over eight years, more than 200 volunteers and landowners collected almost 2000 voucher specimens, with the permission of landowners. Over 10,000 observations and literature records have been databased. The project has documented 150 new species of which 60 are introduced, 90 are native and one species that had never been reported in Ontario to date.
