  • Restoration in Action
    “I am honored to have helped to create the Forest Service Legacy Roads and Trails Program. I have watched the work across the nation, especially in the Skokomish Valley in the Sixth Congressional District. This work has helped restore watersheds and improve water quality and !sh habitat, and at the same time provided jobs that are desperately needed in our rural communities. This is a great program and one that I am proud to have sponsored. A lot more restoration work is needed, so I hope this program will continue to help the Forest Service get the job done.” — The Honorable Norm Dicks U.S. Representative for Washington’s 6th Congressional District, 1977 – 2012 We thank USDA Forest Service staff for their assistance in providing data and images, and Marlies Wierenga, Dave Heller, and Dan Funsch for their dedication, long hours, and hard work. Cover photo credits: Recontoured road on the Gallatin National Forest, MT, credit: Wildlands CPR; fisherperson, photo credit: Kent Miller. he Legacy Roads and Trails Remediation Program T(Legacy Roads and Trails) is a cornerstone of watershed restoration in our National Forests. Created to !x environmental problems resulting from the Forest Service’s extensive road and trail system, Legacy Roads and Trails has reduced stream pollution, restored !sh and wildlife habitat, created jobs, and improved essential roads to ensure safe access. Legacy Roads and Trails has been a success from the start; it is smartly and e"ciently managed, and achieves on-the-ground results in real time. Since its inception in 2008, Congress has appropriated $270 million to Legacy Roads and Trails.

The 10-Year Wilderness Stewardship Challenge was developed by the Chief’s Wilderness Advisory Group (WAG) as a quantifiable measurement of the Forest Service’s success in wilderness stewardship. The goal identified by the Wilderness Advisory Group, and endorsed by the Chief, is to bring each wilderness under Forest Service management to a minimum stewardship level by the year 2014, the fiftieth anniversary of the Wilderness Act. The Challenge was initiated in fiscal year 2005. The Challenge contains ten items that highlight elements of wilderness stewardship. These elements are 1) the natural role of fire, 2) invasive plants, 3) air quality, 4) education, 5) protection of recreational opportunities, 6) recreational site inventory, 7) outfitters

  • Yellowstone Science
    SPECIAL ISSUE Ecological Implications of Climate Change on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem Revisiting Climate Change Predictions from 1992 How Wetlands & Snowpack Help Us Understand a Changing Climate Water in the Balance Fear is Not the Answer he latest comprehensive review of changes to the global climate system states: “Warming of the climate systems is unequivocal, and since the 1950s many of the observed changes are unprecedented from decades to millennia” (from the 5th International Panel on Climate Change report, 2013). Knowing this is true does not necessarily help us Tunderstand how these changes are affecting Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area. It is much more difficult to accurately predict the effects of climate change in a specific location than it is to describe changes to global averages that are happening “somewhere” on the planet. It is even harder to go out on a limb and say how complex natural systems, with all of their fuzzy feedback mechanisms, might react to a changing climate. Yet that is exactly the kind of information we need to help us deal with the uncertainty we are facing in what NPS Director Jon Jarvis has called “the greatest threat we have to the integrity of our natural resources.” How afraid should we be? Twenty-three years ago, in the very first issue ofYellowstone Science, Bill Romme and Monica Turner stuck their necks out, before climate change was a popular topic, and predicted three future climate scenarios and the changes that might happen to fire frequency and vegetation. For this special issue on climate change, they graciously offered to revisit their original thoughts, updating them with the benefit of better science and the knowledge they have gained since 1992 through vigorous study in Yellowstone.
