Where to Go Camping Guide The where to go camping guide has been put together by the Order of the Arrow and the Outdoor Program Committee to give a list of places units can go for various activities. It contains a list of Camps, parks, and other facilities available within a reasonable distance. There are roughly 200 locations listed. Our hope is that you will use this guide as a reference as you research and plan your upcoming camping and hiking trips and other activities for your unit. Updated June 2018 Page 1 How to use this guide: The list is alphabetical, and each one contains at least one means of contact info. Below the contact info section is a website link, followed by if it has hiking trails, and last is the list of things the location has to offer. There will usually be two locations listed per page, with the document being 100 pages in length. Contact us: If you have any additions or corrections, please email [email protected] with "Where to Go Camping Guide" in the title. We would like to know if you are using this and we want to continue to add information that is useful to you!

    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 01/28/2020 and available online at https://federalregister.gov/d/2020-01012, and on govinfo.gov DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 50 CFR Part 17 [Docket No. FWS–R5–ES–2019–0098; 4500090023] RIN 1018-BE19 Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for the Big Sandy Crayfish and the Guyandotte River Crayfish AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish (Cambarus callainus) and the Guyandotte River crayfish (C. veteranus) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). In total, approximately 582 stream kilometers (skm) (362 stream miles (smi)) in Martin and Pike Counties, Kentucky; Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise Counties, Virginia; and McDowell, Mingo, and Wayne Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish. Approximately 135 skm (84 smi) in Logan and Wyoming Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Guyandotte River crayfish. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would extend the Act’s protections to these species’ critical habitat. We also announce the availability of a draft economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for these species. DATES: We will accept comments on the proposed rule or draft economic analysis (DEA) that are received or postmarked on or before [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER DATE OF 1 PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. Comments submitted electronically using the Federal eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 11:59 p.m.

  • Brown County State Park Fall Clean-Up by Jody Weldy
    INDIANA TRAIL RIDERS PRSRT STD ASSOCIATION, INC. US POSTAGE PAID Post Office Box 185 NOBLESVILLE, IN Farmland, IN 47340 Trail Mix PERMIT NO. 21 Return Address Requested The Official Publication of the Indiana Trail Riders Association, Inc. March, 2017 ITRA GOLD NUGGET Brown County State Park Fall Clean-Up CORP By Jody Weldy For the past five years or so, it seems one of the projects at the fall cleanup over Thanksgiving weekend was helping Yvette work on the F Trail that leads to the store on SR 135. The trail going down the hill not far from the road has always been a problem. It's not a great design but we have no choice. Several years ago when the store ORATE SPONSOR changed ownership the previous owner did not want riders to ride the ITRA BRONZE NUGGET trail on his property anymore. Yvette worked hard to lease a right-a- CORPORATE SPONSOR way from another property owner. That's why the trail is where it is today. This year though, we made great progress. A volunteer brought his skid loader. With the additional help of driving and following excellent orders, they were able to remove all the mud which was every bit of a foot deep creating horrible footing for the horses. Once the mud was gone, fabric was put down. Then the ITRA TRAIL LEAD remaining rock that we had been using all the previous years was put CORPORATE SPONSOR down over the fabric although a lot more rock is needed. If anyone wants to donate a load we'll take it.

  • Indiana Forest Health Highlights the Resources the Current and Future Forest Health Problems for Indiana Forests Involve Native and Exotic Insects and Diseases
    2005 Indiana Forest Health Highlights The Resources The current and future forest health problems for Indiana forests involve native and exotic insects and diseases. The current forest health problem is tree mortality from the looper epidemic, forest tent caterpillar epidemic, pine bark beetles, oak wilt, Dutch Elm Disease, Ash Yellows and weather. Other impacts from these forest health problems are change in species diversity, altered wildlife habitat, growth loss and reduced timber value. What We Found Yellow-poplar is the most common species across Indiana today in terms of total live volume (fig. 1.7). Numerous other species, including ecologically and economically important hardwood species such as sugar maple, white oak, black oak, white ash, and northern red oak, contribute substantially to Indiana’s forest volume. In terms of total number of trees, sugar maple dominates, with more than twice as many trees as the next most abundant species (American elm) (fig. 1.8). Other common species include sassafras, flowering dog-wood, red maple, and black cherry. Overall, 80 individual tree species were recorded during the forest inventory. Although yellow-poplar and white oak is number one and three, respectively, in terms of total live volume across Indiana, they rank far lower in number of trees, indicating their large individual tree size compared with other species. The growing-stock volume of selected species has increased substantially since 1986, more than 100 per-cent in the case of yellow-poplar (fig. 1.9). However, black and white oak had volume increases of less than 20 percent during that period. Indiana`s forests 1999-2003 – Part A and Part B The future forest health problem is tree mortality and the other associated impacts from tree death from exotic species and the insects and diseases listed above, as they will continue to cause damage in the near future and then return again some time in the future.
