National Fish and Wildlife Foundation national fish and wildlife foundation 2014 conservation investments Front cover: Elk (National Geographic) Back cover: Monarch Butterfly The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation works to protect and restore the health of ecosystems so our native species can thrive. Since our founding in 1984, we’ve become one of the largest conservation funders in the world. We bring public and private partners together to support science-based projects and community-driven solutions. In Fiscal Year 2014, NFWF funded more than 800 conservation projects across the nation, generating an on-the-ground conservation impact of more than $668 million.

  • Backcountry Discovery Trail
    Have you ever wanted to get into the backcountry Backcountry of a National Forest? Have you wondered if you have Discovery Trail what it takes? Rest assured: exploring the backcountry doesn’t necessarily require an ATV or a dirt bike. You can do it in a high clearance vehicle or a 4WD sport utility vehicle. This guide gives directions for the route from point to point, gives tips on what to bring and how to prepare, provides background information on history and general topics, and directs travelers to points of interest along the way. This 150-mile-long discovery trail is a perfect place to begin your explorations of the Plumas National Forest! Plumas National Forest Plumas National Forest Backcountry Discovery Trail The Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail is published by the USDA Forest Service, in cooperation with the California State Parks OHV Division. Printed in the USA 2013 ISBN: Welcome to the Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail The Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail (BDT) invites exploration of the remote areas of the Plumas National Forest. You can expect rough road conditions on gravel and dirt roads and a slow pace of travel, maybe only 30-50 miles a day. Be prepared for downed trees or rocks on the road, rough and rocky surfaces, and brush encroaching on the road- way. Much of the route is under snow in the winter and early spring. There are no restaurants, grocery stores, or gas stations along the main route and cell phone coverage is intermittent. The non-paved roads are currently maintained for travel by sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and high-clearance vehicles.

  • By David M. Miller Open-File Report 81-463 This Report Is Preliminary
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROPOSED CORRELATION OF AN ALLOCHTHONOUS QUARTZITE SEQUENCE IN THE ALBION MOUNTAINS, IDAHO, WITH PROTEROZOIC Z AND LOWER CAMBRIAN STRATA OF THE PILOT RANGE, UTAH AND NEVADA by David M. Miller Open-File Report 81-463 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U. S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. ABSTRACT A thick sequence of quartzite and schist exposed on Mount Harrison in the Albion Mountains, Idaho, is described and tentatively correlated with the upper part of Proterozoic Z McCoy Creek Group and Proterozoic Z and Lower Cambrian Prospect Mountain Quartzite (restricted) in the Pilot Range, Utah and Nevada, on the basis of lithology, thickness, and sedimentary structures. Correlations with early Paleozoic or middle Proterozoic strata exposed in central Idaho are considered to be less probable. Rapid thickness changes and locally thick conglomerates in Unit G of McCoy Creek Group (and its proposed correlatives in the Albion Mountains) indicate that cJepositional environments were variable locally. Environments were more uniform during the deposition of limy shaly and limestone in the top of Unit G and quartz sandstone in subsequent strata. The strata on Mount Harrison identified as Proterozoic Z and Lower Cambrian in this study are part of an overturned, structurally complicated sequence of metasedimentary rocks that lie tec topically on overturned, metamorphosed Ordovician carbonate strata and possible metamorphosed Cambrian shale, suggesting that a typical miogeoclinal sequence (Proterozoic Z to Ordovician) was possibly once present near the Albion Mountains area. Elsewhere in the Albion Mountains and the adjoining Raft River and Grouse Creek Mountains, however, Ordovician carbonate rocks appear to stratigraphically overlie metamorphosed clastic rocks of uncertain age that are dissimilar to miogeoclinal rocks of the region.

  • A Bove the Pacific
    Lieutenant Colonel William J. Horvat A bove the Pacific Printed and Published in the United States by Aero Publishers, Inc., 1966 ABOVE THE PACIFIC By LT. COL. WILLIAM J. HORVAT This is the first complete story of the flights “Above the Pacific” from the first Hawaiian balloon ascent in 1880 and the first Curtiss flights in1910 up to the prevent time (1966). Modern day coverage includes a discussion of the airlines that serve the area, as well as information on the satellite tracking facilities located on the island. This fascinating page of history includes the story of Hawaii’s vital role in the development of World Aviation History. Hawaii can truthfully be called the “Springboard to Aerospace” in the Pacific. As a halfway spot across the ocean, it has been used by sea-faring navigators for thousands of years; and the island’s strategic position in the midst of 5,000 miles of ocean has focused attention on this Garden Spot as an aid to aviation development. This authentic book is truthfully a documentary of flights “Above the Pacific.” Included are stories of the military interest, in addition to the civilian interest, in Hawaiian aviation. The succession of events is given in chronological order, with military as well as commercial activities being covered. An illustrated story of Pearl Harbor and World War II is also included. Editor’s Note: Above the Pacific was published by Aero Publishers, Inc. in 1966. The book is no longer in print. The publisher is no longer in business. The author Lt. Col. William J.

  • Pilot Creek Valley (Updated 2014)
    Site Description Pilot Creek Valley (Updated 2014) Geologic setting: The Pilot Creek Valley is located near the border of Nevada and Utah approximately 30 kilometers northwest of West Wendover, Nevada. Pilot Creek Valley also lies between the Toano Range towards the west and the Pilot Range towards the east. The Pilot Range is composed of slate, argillite, phyllite, metasiltstone, quartzite, and conglomerate and is exposed throughout the range (Woodward, 1967). The Pilot Range is a north trending mountain range located west of the Nevada-Utah border. The range is composed of metamorphosed Cambrian and Proterozoic strata with Mesozoic igneous rocks that are overlain by Quaternary sedimentary rocks and other unconsolidated material. Multiple faults and folds are prominent throughout the range including bedding plane faults, low angle faults, and high angle Tertiary strike-slip and normal faults. These normal faults are range bounding faults parallel to the range fronts (Miller and Lush, 1981). The southern Toano range is composed primarily of Cambrian and Ordovician carbonate and shale units that have been deformed into northeast plunging folds. Metamorphism has occurred in this region resulting in bleached and marbleized limestone with shale units being converted to slate and phyllite with some minor muscovite schist. These units make up the Silver Zone terrane which was intruded by the Middle Jurassic Silver Zone Pass pluton (Ketner et al, 1998). Geothermal features: A warm spring on the western side of Pilot Creek Valley (T36N, R68E, Sec. 34?) was sampled by NBMG in 2008. The spring had been converted into a tractor tire cattle trough. Samplers reported “Water flows upward through a pipe, with algae and white salt deposits visible inside the tube.
