Karen Bennett, Greg Moore and Janet Dennis of the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife Bill McAvoy of the Delaware Natural Heritage Program Dr. John Kartesz of the Biota of North America Program Dr. Keith Clancy and Pete Bowman, Ecologists, formerly of the Delaware Natural Heritage Program Ery Largay and Leslie Sneddon of Natureserve All people unmentioned who made countless contributions to this document. -Take me to the vegetation community keys- Guide to Delaware Vegetation Communities-Spring 2009 Introduction The Guide to Delaware Vegetation Communities is intended to provide a Delaware flavor to the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS). All common names of communities, except for those not in the NVCS, follow the NVCS. This document is designed for the web and CD only, but desired sections can be printed by users. In this matter, paper and therefore trees can be preserved and impacts to the communities discussed within can be minimized. In spirit of saving these communities please only print those community descriptions that you will use or print none at all. The State of Delaware covers 1,524,863.4 acres of which 1,231,393.6 acres are terrestrial and 293,469.8 acres are water (Table 1). Currently 130 vegetation communities are known to occur in Delaware. Some of the largest vegetation communities/land covers in the state include: Table 1.

  • Park Theme and Essential Experiences
    Park Theme and Essential Experiences The Division of Parks and Recreation has embarked on the Visitor Experience initiative in an effort to develop themes and essential experiences for each state park. This will provide clear direction on the importance of the resources and experiences that we, as park professionals, feel are critical and form the foundation of creating meaningful visitor experiences that inspire stewardship of our parks’ natural, historic, and cultural resources. Theme A theme is the underlying message, or “big idea” of your park. The theme identifies what is critical to the park’s story and shares the natural and cultural importance that make each park special. The theme is universal in nature allowing visitors to easily relate and connect. Essential Experience The essential experiences are the landscapes, structures (natural and historic), resources, and interactions within the park that connect with the visitor to evoke passion, care, and commitment, to the greater good of the park as a whole, the life of the individual, and future generations to come. ALAPOCAS RUN STATE PARK OUR VISITOR ABOUT THE PARK EXPERIENCE STRATEGY Surrounded by development and the remnants of industry, Alapocas Run State Park preserves mature woodlands, Our Visitor Experience Strategy is to traces of an industrial past, and the cultural significance of ensure all park visitors have an experience an earlier era. that directly and personally connects them to the natural, historic, and cultural resources found at each Delaware ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCES State Park, inspiring them to acts of • Journey through mature forest and Blue Granite stewardship in support of these resources.

    2018-2021 DNREC Capital Plan Investing in Delaware’s Conservation Economy STATE OF DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL Offi ce of the 89 KINGS HIGHWAY Phone: (302) 739-9000 Secretary DOVER, DELAWARE 19901 Fax: (302) 739-6242 April 10, 2018 Investing in Delaware’s Conservation Economy Members of the Bond Bill Committee, I am pleased to present you with a copy of DNREC’s 2018-2021 Capital Plan, which lays out our vision, composed of a series of key projects, each of which demonstrates that strategic environmental investments help drive economic prosperity and growth. By providing sustained funding for these critical infrastructure needs, we will help strengthen Delaware’s economy, while we improve the health of our environment. Through the leadership of Governor John Carney and the support of the Delaware General Assembly, we have focused on continuing investment in the environmental infrastructure that supports tourism, recreation, and public health and safety. By purifying air and water, mitigating fl ooding, and supporting diverse species, as well as providing recreational amenities, we generate millions of dollars in economic value. Outdoor recreation options, such as biking and walking trails, can help reduce health care costs as Delawareans adopt healthier lifestyles – and more than 60 percent of our residents now participate in outdoor recreation. Visitors come to Delaware to experience our pristine beaches, navigable waterways, rustic landscapes, world-class birding, hunting, fi shing, biking, and hiking. Clean air and water and memorable recreational experiences are vital to attracting visitors and new companies, as well as retaining businesses and their top talent.

  • Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 4.0 Background Conditions
    Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 4.0 Background Conditions The designation of a roadway as a State of Delaware Byway or a National Scenic Byway should not impede the intended purpose of that roadway to safely and efficiently move goods and people. Therefore, as part of this Corridor Management Plan (CMP), it is important to evaluate the current/existing and future conditions of the roadway being designated. Displaying, summarizing and analyzing existing data pertaining to roadway physical characteristics, traffic volumes, levels of service, accident locations and other significant data will assist with and provide awareness of the various operational and physical characteristics that should be considered during designation and implementation of the Scenic Byway. This collection of data also familiarizes the reader of this CMP with the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway roadway characteristics. These characteristics should be considered in corridor planning efforts and future decision-making. In addition, the data serves as a baseline for any future analysis on the impacts of Scenic Byway designation and implementation of projects. 4.1 Roadway Characteristics The corridor generally travels northeast from southern Delaware at the Maryland/Delaware border, picking up where the Maryland Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway terminates, through Dover and Wilmington before heading northwest and terminating at the Delaware/Pennsylvania border. The total length of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway is approximately 98 miles. This Corridor Management Plan (CMP) has divided the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway into four (4) segments to assist with the review and graphical representation of the corridor analysis. The corridor segment maps are shown in Figures 2 through 5.
