  • Panther Press the Digital Newspaper
    Tuesday, Issue June 14th, 8 2021 Panther Press The Digital Newspaper Don’t Squish! Rethink! - Protesting the Killing of Bugs ------------ Momina Khuram Have you ever killed a bug? Everyone probably has done this, but today I am objecting to killing bugs. “Why?” you may ask. Imagine all the bugs in the world disappeared. There would be no more adventure. No chirping birds. No buzzing bees. It would be sad, boring, and silent outside. There are so many species of bugs in the world. Each one is unique in its skills. The more we learn about bugs the more we learn about our earth. Just like humans and other animals, bugs deserve a life too. I believe you should never kill bugs. I believe that you should not kill insects when they are outside. Bugs belong outside. They have families or colonies in which they are a vital part. You do not want to destroy these systems by taking out one of the workers. Picture caption: Periodical cicada (Magicicada sp.). Photo: Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources - Forestry, Insects are not insignificant for people. Bugwood.org Bugs actually benefit humans as well. They pollinate crops that we need for food and pollinate beautiful flowers that we enjoy viewing. They also act as sanitation workers cleaning up our wastes. Despite their sometimes-creepy appearance, they are important to our environment. If you feel that you are in danger of being bitten or stung by an insect, walk or run away instead of killing it. Sometimes, people feel unsafe near bugs, so they decide to kill them immediately.

  • Resource Management Plan, Appalachian National Scenic Trail
    Appalachian National Scenic Trail Resource Management Plan – September 2008 – Recommended: Casey Reese, Interdisciplinary Physical Scientist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: Kent Schwarzkopf, Natural Resource Specialist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: Sarah Bransom, Environmental Protection Specialist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: David N. Startzell, Executive Director, Appalachian Trail Conference Approved: Pamela Underhill, Park Manager, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Concur: Chris Jarvi, Associate Director, Partnerships, Interpretation and Education, Volunteers, and Outdoor Recreation Foreword: Purpose of the Resource Management Plan The purpose of this plan – the Appalachian Trail Resource Management Plan – is to document the Appalachian National Scenic Trail’s natural and cultural resources and describe and set priorities for management, monitoring, and research programs to ensure that these resources are properly protected and cared for. This plan is intended to provide a medium-range, 10-year strategy to guide resource management activities conducted by the Appalachian Trail Park Office and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (and other partners who wish to participate) for the next decade. It is further intended to establish priorities for funding projects and programs to manage and protect the Trail’s natural and cultural resources. In some cases, this plan recognizes and identifies the need for preparation of future action plans to deal with specific resource management issues. These future plans will be tiered to this document. Management objectives outlined in the Appalachian Trail Resource Management Plan are consistent with the Appalachian Trail Comprehensive Plan (1981, re-affirmed 1987), the Appalachian Trail Statement of Significance (2000), and the Appalachian Trail Strategic Plan (2001, updated 2005). These objectives also are based on the resource protection mandates stated in the NPS Organic Act of 1916 and the Trail’s enabling legislation, the National Trails System Act.

  • A.T. History & Cooperative Management
    Appalachian Trail Cooperative Management History After several decades of Appalachian Trail (A.T.) design and construction by A.T. clubs and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) the A.T. became one of the first of two national scenic trails designated under the 1968 National Trails System Act. The purpose of that Act was to provide the means to develop a national trails system for “the ever-increasing outdoor recreation needs of an expanding population and in order to promote the preservation of, public access to, travel within, and enjoyment and appreciation of the open-air, outdoor areas and historic resources of the Nation.” The Act promoted the development of trails “primarily, near the urban areas of the Nation, and secondarily, within scenic areas and along historic travel routes of the Nation which are often more remotely located.” The Act formally recognized the Department of the Interior, in consultation with the Department of Agriculture, as the administrator for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. It also recognized the important role of volunteers and nonprofit organizations to support the federal agencies: “The Congress recognizes the valuable contributions that volunteers and private, nonprofit trail groups have made to the development and maintenance of the Nation's trails. In recognition of these contributions, it is further the purpose of this Act to encourage and assist volunteer citizen involvement in the planning, development, maintenance, and management, where appropriate, of trails.” The most significant outcome of the 1968 Act, and its 1978 amendments, was to provide a federal framework to acquire lands and permanently protect a Trail corridor.

  • “Where to Go Camping” Guide
    “Where to Go Camping” Guide Produced By: Order of the Arrow Guneukitschik Lodge 317 Mason-Dixon Council Where, but in the great outdoors, can a boy hear the midnight hush of the deep woods...breathe the sweetness of distant wood- smoke...look down in awe at where he’s been, and look up in wonder at where he still must go...glimpse the deer drinking at first light...watch eagles soaring in a cloudless sky...feel the warmth of the campfire as it glows orange against the thickening darkness...and at the end of a long day, hear the hooting owl under a sky flashing with stars? Who can say that in such an atmosphere a boy’s mind is not reached, his faith not freshened, or his heart not stirred? Or that, in ways that are a mystery to us all, he will not grow closer to the man he is becoming? When you witness these experiences that help start a young boy on his journey into manhood, who can say that you his guide and mentor, will not be changed in some small way, as well? To be a part of that experi- ence is one of the greatest rewards that adults can reap from their leadership roles in the Boy Scouts of America. Don’t miss out– share the adventures of Scout camping with your unit! 2nd Edition Updated and Published August 2011 by Guneukitschik Lodge, Mason-Dixon Council #221, BSA 2 Dear Scout Leaders, The Guneukitschik Lodge of the Order of the Arrow, Boy Scouts of America, Mason-Dixon Council #221 has prepared this ―Where to Go Camping Guide‖ as a service to units in our council.
