Eagle Rock Loop Trail Recreational Trail the Ground
It’s a simple thing, really: a well-trod path through a place otherwise untouched, a scraggly aisle cut through a sun-dappled canopy. It’s rudimental and practical. It’s a way through. But as the eight routes featured in these pages prove, an Arkansas hiking trail can be far, far more than just a means to an end Edited by Wyndham Wyeth 60 ARKANSAS LIFE www.arkansaslife.com OCTOBER 2016 ARKANSAS LIFE 61 R. Kenny Vernon 64 Nature Trail 76 Ouachita National “Stand absolutely still and study Eagle Rock Loop Trail Recreational Trail the ground. Look for the clusters of acorns the blackjack oak has tossed aside; the horn of plenty ’VE ALWAYS BEEN OF THE MIND THAT those may live nearby.” who talk down about Arkansas have never actually set foot in the state. Surely, those folks have never been fortunate enough to see the unyielding natural beauty that abounds in this neck of the woods we call home. When it comes to the great outdoors, the variety found in The Natural State is inexhaustible. From the IBuffalo, the country’s first national river, to our state’s highest peak on Mount Magazine, and all manner of flora and fauna in between, the call of the Arkansas wild is difficult to resist. 70 But if you want to discuss Arkansas and its eminence in all things outside, you’d be remiss if you failed to address the hiking trails, Mount Nebo Bench Trail those hand-cut paths through terrain both savage and tamed that represent Arkansas in its purest form. -

No. 20: Further Notes on Species from the Eastern North America
Opuscula Philolichenum, 15: 105-131. 2016. *pdf effectively published online 15November2016 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) Studies in Lichens and Lichenicolous Fungi – No. 20: Further notes on species from the eastern North America JAMES C. LENDEMER1 AND RICHARD C. HARRIS2 ABSTRACT. – Arthothelium lichenale is placed in synonymy with Mycoporum compositum. The morphological distinctions between Collema pustulatum and Leptogium apalachense are discussed and the North American distributions of the species are revised. The distribution of Lecidea roseotincta in North America is extended to include the central and southern Appalachian Mountains. The distribution of Lecidella subviridis is expanded in northeastern North America. Pyrenula reebiae is placed in synonymy with P. leucostoma and both species are illustrated and discussed. Pyrenula shirabeicola is removed from synonymy with P. pseudobufonia and both species are illustrated and discussed. The following taxa are newly reported from North America: Calvitimela cuprea (Canada, Newfoundland & Labrador), Hypotrachyna consimilis (U.S.A., North Carolina), Schismatomma graphidioides (U.S.A., Alabama and New Jersey). KEYWORDS. – Biogeography, Collemataceae, North American Checklist, Lecanoraceae, Lecideaceae, Parmeliaceae, Pyrenulaceae, sterile crust. INTRODUCTION As a result of fieldwork carried out throughout eastern North America, particularly in the southern Appalachian Mountains, we have studied new collections that prompted us to reexamine our understanding of recognized species, their distributions, and ecologies. Routine curation of the herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden led to similar studies, as has the identification of specimens that were newly donated to the herbarium. While such studies typically result in discrete taxonomic or floristic publications, there are often also brief notes that merit publication but are not easily accommodated in a standalone contribution. -

Ouachita National Forest
OZARK-ST. FRANCIS NATIONAL FORESTS ROADS ANALYSIS REPORT THE ROADS ANALYSIS PROCESS (STEP 1) Introduction Roads analysis is an integrated ecological, social, and economic approach to transportation planning; addressing both existing and proposed roads. It makes no decisions nor does it allocate resources for specific purposes. Roads analysis provides information for decision making by examining important issues related to roads. Road analysis helps implement forest plans by identifying road management issues, concerns, and opportunities to be addressed. The analysis process can also identify the need for changes in forest plans. A roads analysis can be conducted at various scales, ranging from the forest scale (this analysis) to the smaller watershed and project scales. The issues generated and the recommendations offered are to be commensurate with the level of the detail at which the analysis is conducted. It is important to emphasize that a roads analysis in itself does not result in a decision, but provides information to support decisions by disclosing important social, economic, and ecological issues and effects relevant to road management proposals. Actual road management decisions made by responsible officials must be disclosed in appropriate National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents. Since this analysis is a broad forest-scale analysis, individual roads were not analyzed. The forest roads system as a whole was reviewed. Site-specific road issues, concerns, and opportunities will be identified and addressed during smaller project-scale analyses. The issues, concerns, and recommendations identified at the forest-scale serve as a guide for analyses conducted at the smaller project-scales. This forest-scale analysis will help identify issues, concerns, and opportunities for proposed management actions that may be considered in subsequent site-specific project-scale analyses. -

Appendix G - Roadless Area/Wilderness Evaluations and Wild and Scenic Rivers
Appendix G - Roadless Area/Wilderness Evaluations and Wild and Scenic Rivers In accordance with 36 CFR 219.17, a new inventory of roadless areas was completed for this plan revision, and areas of the Ouachita National Forest that met the criteria for inclusion in the roadless area inventory (Chapter 7 of Forest Service Handbook 1909.12) were further evaluated for recommendation as potential wilderness areas. The reinventory of roadless areas included previously recognized roadless areas considered during development of the 1986 Forest Plan and the 1990 Amended Forest Plan. These areas were: Beech Creek, Rich Mountain, Blue Mountain, Brush Heap, Bear Mountain, and Little Blakely. Also, two areas near Broken Bow Lake in Southeastern Oklahoma, Bee Mountain and Ashford Peak, were identified in the January 2002 FEIS for Acquired Lands in Southeastern Oklahoma. Possible additions to existing wilderness areas were also considered. The roadless inventory for the Ouachita National Forest was updated for this iteration of plan revision using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Evaluation of the Forest for areas meeting the criterion of one-half mile of improved [National Forest System] road or less per 1,000 acres yielded a significant number of candidate polygons and all polygons over 1,000 acres in size were considered to determine if there were any possibility of expanding the area to a suitable size to warrant consideration as possible wilderness. Polygons meeting the initial criteria were further analyzed using criteria found in FSH 1909.12 (Chapter 7.11) to produce the inventoried roadless areas described in this appendix. The planning team determined that, of the former RARE II areas, the only ones that meet the criteria for inclusion in the roadless area inventory are portions of Blue Mountain and Brush Heap. -
