    Flower Power

    FLOWER POWER IDAHO BOTANICAL GARDEN WHAT IS A FLOWER? INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVE: When students finish this project, they will have gained respect for the beauty of flowers and appreciate their ecological and practical importance. INTRODUCTION Dear Teacher, The Idaho Botanical Garden is an outdoor learning environment. We want to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable, and ask that your students are dressed appropriately for the weather and have water, especially in the warm weather months. TERMS Angiosperms: Flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in a fruit. Anthers: The boxlike structures at the top of stamens, where pollen is produced. Botanical garden: A place where plants are collected and displayed for scientific, educational and artistic purposes. Fertilization: The union of male sperm cells and female egg cells. Filament: The stalk of the stamen. Flower: The reproductive structure of an angiosperm. Fruit: A ripened ovary conaining seeds. Nectar: The sweet liquid produced by flowers to attract pollinators. Ovary: The hollow compartment at the base of the pistil which contains ovules. It develops into a fruit containing seeds. Ovules: The structures in a flower ovary that can develop into seeds. Pistil: The female part of a flower; stigma, style, and ovary. Pollen: A yellow, powder-like material containing sperm cells. Pollen tubes: Tubes that carry sperm cells from the stigma into the ovary. Pollination: The process of pollen coming together with the stigma of a flower. Pollinators: Animals which carry pollen from one flower to another. Seed: A structure containing a baby plant and its food supply, which is surrounded by a protective seed coat.

Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up­ wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ...........................................................................................................

    a report from ENVIRONMENT TEXAS H o n e H EXECUTIVE SUMMARY You can’t count the many ways that state parks make life better here in Texas. They protect the clean water that we depend on. They provide a home for some of Texas’ most wondrous wildlife. The beautiful natural scenery of our parks provides a backdrop for some of the most amazing hikes you can imagine. And the breadth and range of those parks gives people all across Texas untold opportunities for fishing, swimming, camping and other recreational activities. Unfortunately, our parks system is in a state of crisis. Rampant disrepair and staff shortages due to years of budget cuts hinder the parks’ ability to protect the resources they house. In addition, the Legislature has failed to appropriate funds to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to invest for the future by acquiring new park lands. With Texas’ population expected to double in the next few decades, demand will grow for access to parks and more of our treasured natural areas will be threatened by encroaching development. Polling done by Texas Tech University found that Texans “are becoming increasingly frustrated about the lack of access to lands to experience nature.” Already, urban and suburban development is encroaching on treasured natural landscapes. The effects of population growth will be strongest in Texas’s largest cities. While the state of Texas maintains sizable parks in west Texas and other parts of the state, our metropolitan areas are notably underserved. While the state currently averages about 52 acres of parkland per 1000 people, in the cities it is far worse.

Camping and the outdoor adventure are at the core of the mission of Scouting. It is with this focus that the Arrowmen of Tonkawa Lodge 99 present this revised camping guide to the units of our council and any units who are looking to discover new opportunities for camping and exploration. This revision updates some of the changes that have occurred in Scouting, revises outdated information, and provides new locations for camping and outdoor adventures.
  • The Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana Area Economic Profile

    The Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana Area Economic Profile

    The Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana AREA ECONOMIC PROFILE prepared by Dr. Larry Swanson, Associate Directori O’Connor Center for the Rocky Mountain West The University of Montana May, 2001 This profile provides a description and assessment of the area economy of the Bitterroot Valley of southwestern Montana. Changing conditions and trends in the area economy over the course of the last twenty to twenty-five years are examined, including trends in population and employment growth and associated income changes and economic restruc- turing. Changing conditions in Ravalli County and the Bitterroot Valley are compared to those for the larger Rocky Mountain West region and nation as a whole. Various measures of the Bitterroot area economy also are systematically compared to similar measures for areas throughout the western United States having similar characteristics to the Bitterroot Valley. Two types of “peer areas” are selected for this purpose: 1) non-metro areas in the West nearby small and intermediate regional centers of 30,000 to 100,000 people, and, 2) non-metro areas nearby small and intermediate regional centers that are also nearby large concentrations of Forest Service lands. Major Findings and Observations Southwestern Montana’s Bitterroot Valley is the central watershed of the Bitterroot River, which flows north through the valley toward its confluence with the Clark Fork River near Missoula. This 1. Population Growth - During the 1990s, Ravalli County was the fastest growing county watershed is largely defined by the boundaries of Ravalli County. County boundaries also define in Montana and became one of the fastest growing counties in the entire United States, the outer boundaries of the Bitterroot National Forest.

  • Water-Wise and Native Plant Demonstration Garden

    Water-Wise and Native Plant Demonstration Garden

    LaBonte Park’s Outdoor Learning Center Water-Wise and Native Plant Demonstration Garden This collaborative effort was undertaken in fall 2007 to showcase the wide variety of water- wise plants that can be grown in Laramie. Most are also well-adapted to other locations in the state. These drought-tolerant species can be used in naturalistic settings or in more for- mal gardens. Either way, you’ll end up with a landscape that uses less water, takes up less of your time, and looks great! Updated 8/2012 N The north side of this garden is dedicated to plants that are native to our area including the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains re- gions. Note: This map will be revised every 2-3 years. It may not be to- tally accurate when you visit but it will be close.
