  • Roadless Rule Map & Fact Sheet
    West Virginians for Public Lands The Roadless Rule in West Virginia The “Roadless Rule” was established by the US Forest Service in 2001 after an extensive inventory and mapping of undeveloped public lands. Today the Roadless Rule conserves 44.8 million acres in 37 states. There are 182,000 roadless acres among the three national forests within West Virginia. The Monongahela National Forest has the largest share at 162,000 acres, followed by the George Washington NF (15,700 ac) and the Jefferson NF (4,800 ac). The Monongahela National Forest has over 2,100 miles of roads. Nowhere in West Virginia is further than 3.2 miles as-the-crow-flies from a road. Roadless areas make up less than a fifth of the Monongahela National Forest and just over 1 percent of the state of West Virginia. Roadlessness is a rare and valuable quality for both recreation and wildlife. Roadless areas are often remote backcountry areas. In West Virginia, the vast majority of roadless areas are managed by the Forest Service for recreation and include some of the most iconic landscapes in the state: Roaring Plains, Seneca Creek, Cheat Mountain, Canaan Loop, Tea Creek, North Fork Mountain, and Hills Creek Falls. In many cases our roadless areas adjoin designated Wilderness Areas, creating larger intact ecosystems, providing greater recreation opportunity, and enhancing the “wild and wonderful” qualities of these regions. Dolly Sods, Otter Creek, and Cranberry Wilderness are surrounded by roadless areas. Logging is generally prohibited in roadless areas, but the Roadless Rule does contain practical exceptions: firefighting, personal firewood gathering, and habitat imProvement for rare species are allowed.

  • Writing in Grey Joseph Schwartze UCCS Honors Program
    Writing in Grey Joseph Schwartze UCCS Honors Program A Darker World The stories in this section look at the darker parts of our world. Fantasy is unnecessary to see depictions of true evil; it exists in day to day life. The mind does not have to warp itself in perverted defense mechanisms to see darkness in our average lives. These stories examine the consequences of the bad events in our world, from the lasting effects on a single person to the terrible choices some people are forced to make. We do not always know the darkness that surrounds us; only an unremarkable symbol might be the reminder. Other times, the darkness around us can be from our own choices, our own accomplishments, and we must live with that stink forever. These stories explore the grey in our world and how the black and white can mix into unfortunate realities. Choices in the Dark Clarissa took the shot, and she savored the burning sensation in her throat. She needed it, the pain. She needed the numbness that followed even more. Her eyes closed, and when she opened them, some 20-something college boy sat next to her. He was dressed like a preppy frat boy, with his khakis and a light blue polo shirt. She knew the drill. A pretty smile painted her features, and she leaned against the counter while she waited for him to say something. A quick adjustment and her dark red, revealing dress showed off more of her thighs and cleavage. “Can I buy you a drink?” he asked confidently.
