The project, focusing on the western Ponderosa Pine belt of the district, is within the area prioritized by the Kaibab Forest Health Focus (KFHF), a collaborative, science- based group that worked from 2008-2009 to guide landscape-level forest restoration efforts across the Kaibab National Forest (KNF). The priorities from the KFHF were subsequently integrated into the Kaibab Forest Plan, and the NKRD drew on the stakeholder-identified priority areas to select the Burnt Corral project boundaries. A collaborative group, consisting of about 32 stakeholders, some involved in the KFHF and some new participants, was convened to carry forward the spirit of the KFHF toward on-the-ground management actions. Specifically, the collaborative process, supported by science and spatial analysis, was an effort to develop a single proposed action, supported by stakeholders and interest groups holding diverse values, for the NRKD to bring forward into scoping under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The NKRD contacted the Landscape Conservation Initiative at Northern Arizona University (NAU), including the Lab of Landscape Ecology and Conservation Biology, to facilitate the meetings and support spatial analysis to aid consensus building, and the district committed to take the guidance of the collaborative forward into NEPA planning and implementation. The effort produced a draft proposed action based on a field visit and stakeholder deliberations over the course of several months. Consensus was reached on many pieces of guidance, and the proposed action reflects the will of the group. Where consensus was not reached, the LCI attempted to chart a path forward, or to document the range of opinions and options that emerged. This report presents the approach, outcomes and future recommendations from the Burnt Corral collaborative, and is accompanied by the collaborative proposed action submitted to the NKRD as they move forward with project planning and NEPA analysis. 1 Background The Burnt Corral collaborative vegetation management planning process was convened to develop a proposed action for vegetation treatment in an area of approximately 28,060 acres on the North Kaibab Ranger District (NKRD) of the Kaibab National Forest (KNF), using a collaborative approach supported by spatial analysis and group deliberation. The project represents a significant milestone in several years of work on landscape level prioritization and planning for forest restoration on the Kaibab Plateau. In 2009 the Kaibab Forest Health Focus, a science-based collaborative process to identify priority treatment areas across the Kaibab National Forest, was completed. The effort identified both priority areas and initial treatment guidance across the KNF, by district (Figure 1). The results of the prioritization were integrated into the new Kaibab Forest Plan as priority landscapes for management attention. The Burnt Corral project area is a venture into vegetation management in the area identified as highest priority for management action by stakeholders in the KFHF. It offered the opportunity for stakeholders, both those involved in the KFHF and others interested in forest management on the North Kaibab, to contribute to on-the-ground efforts across this project area, effectively filling in the details of the treatment sketch provided in previous broad-scale assessment work, as the scale of planning and analysis moves toward project-level implementation. This is also the first landscape-scale project on the NKRD that falls under the 2014 Land and Resource Management Plan for the Kaibab National Forest. Figure 1. Priority landscapes (left) and treatment guidance (right) on the North Kaibab Ranger District, as developed by the Kaibab Forest Health Focus The NKRD identified several objectives for the Burnt Corral project. Vegetation management objectives were to improve forest health and vigor, while improving habitat conditions which are more resilient to change in the event of wildfire and/or other climatic condition changes. The goal of 2 convening a collaborative process was to reach consensus, where possible, on a proposed action or guidance to use in a proposed action. The NKRD hoped that thorough and inclusive work “up front” to address stakeholder values and concerns, a civil and science-based process would lead to an efficient NEPA process and support for a practical, implementable proposed action to serve as the foundation for future project-level efforts. Study Area The Burnt Corral project area is about 28,060 acres in size, and lies on the southwest portion of the Kaibab

  • Grand Canyon U.S
    National Park Service Grand Canyon U.S. Department of the Interior Grand Canyon National Park Arizona Inside Grand Canyon Fly-through Animation Transcript. Presented by NASA, the NPS, and the USGS Narration script by Andy Pearce and Rachel Brown One of earth’s few landforms visible from space, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, slices through 277 miles of Northwestern Arizona. While there are certainly deeper canyons, nowhere else on earth has width, depth and length combined in such a way as to produce anything quite like this breathtaking chasm. Over the course of 6 million years, the canyon has been carved by the Colorado River. A mile deep, 277 miles long and up to 18 miles wide, this canyon is like none other. Grand Canyon begins at Lees ferry, which is where river runners today start their rafting adventure down the Colorado River. Here, the first of Grand Canyon’s many rock layers is exposed. At 270 million years in age, the whitish-gray Kaibab limestone is the youngest in a series in of layered sedimentary rocks, each emerging as the river carves its way deeper into the Colorado Plateau. Entering on the left, we see the Little Colorado River. At this point, the main Colorado River turns west, carvings through the Kaibab Uplift, exposing both the reddish-pink supergroup rocks and the dark rocks of the inner gorge. The river divides the uplift into two plateaus, which form the North Rim and South Rim of the canyon. Flying over the South Rim and Grand Canyon Village, we enjoy a view of the canyon well documented by almost 4 1/2 million visitors each year.

Quantity: 21 linear feet (39 boxes) Abstract: The manuscript collection consists of 13 boxes (7.5 linear feet) of manuscript material arranged in eight series. These consists of the diaries of William Wallace and Ada Bass (1894­1929), Business Correspondence (1901­1971), Financial Records (1883­1946), Mining Documents (1896­19246 and 1954­1956), Personal Correspondence and Family History (1849­1963), Manuscripts (1881­1919), Scrapbooks, (1891­1903), and Printed Material (1864­1976). The oral history collection consists of two series. The first includes nine cassette tapes of interviews with W.G. Bass, W.W. Bass' son with accompanying transcripts. The second includes tapes of interviews with Ed Kahle (driver of automobile for W.W. Bass), Harry Phillips (hauled ore for W.W. Bass) and Jack Fuss (worked for W.W. Bass for a year). The photograph collection consists of 24 boxes (13.5 linear feet) of prints, lantern slides, and glass plate negatives. There are nineteen boxes of photographic prints, dealing primarily with W.W. Bass and the Bass family. The majority of the photographs were taken in the Grand canyon where the Bass' camps, mines, and homes were located, and include images of and around the White House, Tin House, Bass Camp, Bass Cave, Shinumo Camp, and Rock Camp. Some photographs portray Ada's family and home in New York.
