SIGNED: APPROVAL BY THESIS DIRECTOR This thesis has been approved on the date shown below: ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis is the collective effort of many, and to each who played a part in its compilation, I am indebted. Thanks go first to the geography professors who formed my thesis committee; these include my advisor, Dr. Lay Gibson, who planted the seed of this endeavor, as well as to Drs. Melvin Hecht and Thomas Saarinen. They have all provided excellent comments, needed perspective, and supportive criticism to the text, and in doing so, helped make this study far more cohesive and readable. However, the errors and contradictions which have survived their scrutiny are my own. In a more general scholastic sense, I would like to thank the library staffs of The University of Arizona and the Arizona Historical Society, who helped me locate many excellent source materials. Thanks also go to Ms, Kathy Meredith, at the Valley National Bank, who assisted with data collection. A special thanks is due the University administration, whose WATS-line telephone system has made so many needed communications possible. I am also grateful to the many, many persons involved in the Arizona guest ranch industry who have pro­ vided so much of the information contained here. More than anyone else, it is they who have made Arizona synonymous with Western warmth and hospitality, and it is to them that iv this thesis is dedicated. Their assistance and hospitality, whether on the telephone or at the various ranches, was very much appreciated. Mr. Boyd Wilson, Mrs, Sophie Burden, the Howard Millers, and Ms. Lynn Thompson, all long associated with the Arizona guest ranch industry, have been of singular help; but to be fair, several score of other persons, in locations throughout Arizona, should be included here. Thank you! Finally, I would like to thank those in my personal sphere who enabled me to persist in the preparation of this thesis. There have been many whose input has affected my work, and I wish I could cite you all individually. However, I would particularly like to thank fellow graduate . students Tom Szot and Steve Caldwell, who provided both advice and needed relief; Judy Svore, who accompanied me on many a guest ranching foray; Rick and Nancy Bothell, whose diversion and support helped me persevere through a productive but trying summer; and Janice Vandeventer, whose understanding and patience enabled me to continue working on this study while I was living away from the study area. Finally, I would like to contribute a word of special thanks to my family? their encouragement and belief in my eventual success has given me hope and strength.

  • Ten Legal Issues for Farm Stay Operators
    The National Agricultural Law Center The nation’s leading source for agricultural and food law research & information NationalAgLawCenter.org | [email protected] Factsheet Series: 2020 Ten Legal Issues for Farm Stay Operators Peggy Kirk Hall This material is based upon Associate Professor work supported by the Ohio State University Extension National Agricultural Library, Agricultural Abigail Wood Research Service, U.S. Research Assistant, OSU Agricultural & Resource Law Program Department of Agriculture Imagine waking up on a farm—to countryside views, open space, and farm activities—and you’ve envisioned a “farm stay.” A farm stay offers people an escape to the country and provides urban individuals an opportunity to experience a rural lifestyle and gain a glimpse inside life on a farm. The farm stay is part of a growing trend in “agritourism” that involves family farmers using their land, food supply, and livestock to attract guests to the farm.1 For farm and ranch owners, offering a farm stay accommodation can generate a new stream of revenue. Many farmers and ranchers appear to be recognizing and capitalizing on this financial opportunity. While lagging behind many European countries, the U.S. now has a national non-profit trade association that connects potential guests to accredited farm stay operators through on online booking platform, the U.S. Farm Stay Association.2 The association currently has 121 accredited farm stay operators across the country and reports that there are about 1,500 additional working farms and ranches in the U.S. that offer lodging, a doubling since the association began in 2010.3 In 2018, there were approximately 57,000 listings on the popular Airbnb website that the company identified as “rural,” bringing in about $316 million to the “rural” hosts,4 and Airbnb added a more specific “farm stay” category to its listings a year ago.

  • Birds of Coniferous Forest on Mount Graham, Arizona
    Wilson Bull., 107(4), 1995, pp. 719-723 SHORT COMMUNICATIONS Birds of coniferous forest on Mount Graham, Arizona.-Because of interest in the effect upon the biota of Mount Graham by current development for astronomy, I repeated observations and censuses made there forty years ago. Avifaunal changes have occurred. Unlike my companion study in the Sierra Nevada (Marshall 1988), the losses at Mount Graham of nesting species-all at the lower altitudinal limit of Pinus Zeiophylla chihuahuana and P. ponderosa arizonica-lack an obvious connection to human interference with the environment. Study area.-Mount Graham, in southeastern Arizona, is capped with old growth Engel- mann spruce and alpine fir from 3000 m to the summit at 3267 m. This boreal forest of 8 km* is at its southernmost limits on the North American continent. Descending, one passes through other vegetation zones in sequence: Douglas firs and white firs mixed with spruce, and then mixed with Mexican white pines; south slopes of New Mexican locust and Gambel oak; ponderosa pine with Gambel oak, ponderosa pine mixed with silver-leaf oak; and finally Chihuahua pine with Arizona oak (Martin and Fletcher 1943, Hoffmeister 1956, Marshall 1957, Mohlenbrock 1987). From memory, notes, and photographs I detect no change in vegetation during the forty-year study period. Specifically, the trees at the mapped census area in Wet Canyon (Fig. 1) have not closed ranks about the little openings suitable for those foothill birds that forage among grasses, boulders, manzanitas, and nolinas. The mesic luxuriance of Mount Graham’s vegetation is shown by running streams sup- porting tall groves of maples, by the enormous Douglas firs that remain, by the profusion of understory flowers and green forbs, and by the gigantic stature of clear-trunked alders dominating Wet Canyon.

  • Southern Arizona, United States of America
    Southern Arizona, United States of America 2 – ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Assessment and recommendations Southern Arizona region: from a resource-based economy to a knowledge-based economy Southern Arizona is the southern-most part of the state of Arizona in the United States. bordering the Mexican state of Sonora, with a multi-cultural heritage and a major gateway for trade with Mexico. The vast desert region consists of Pima County, Cochise County and Santa Cruz County, and has a population of approximately 1.2 million, accounting for 18% of the state population. The engine of the region’s development is the Tucson metropolitan area, the second largest metropolitan area in the state, just behind the Phoenix metropolitan area. About 23% of the land in Southern Arizona is owned by Native Americans, Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui Nations, who continue to feature low education, labour market and health outcomes. Population growth is a major strength in the region, an opportunity for many industry sectors, but at the same time it poses cultural, economic and political challenges. Since World War II, Arizona has had one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Between 1990 and 2000, Arizona experienced a 40.0% population increase which slowed down to 26.7% between 2000 and 2008. In Southern Arizona, the corresponding figures were 26.0% and 18.4%. Arizona has the fastest growing Hispanic population in the US, comprising about 25% of the state population and 27% of that of Southern Arizona. In Tucson, 40% of the residents identify themselves as Hispanic, while in Santa Cruz the majority of population are Hispanic.

  • 236 Pinaleño Mountains in the Twentieth Century Atalanta Hoyt
    Pinaleño Mountains in the Twentieth Century Atalanta Hoyt Throughout the twentieth century, a few major events dominated the history of the Forest Service. First, the founding of the National Forest Service in 1905 replaced the Bureau of Forestry and led to the creation of modern National Forests. The new service was created under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture with the purpose of securing a long term supply of timber for the American people.1 Second, the great depression of the 1930s, Franklin Roosevelt’s creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the expansion of the Forest Service changed the shape of National Forests.2 This time period featured a major transition from timber management to hands on putting resources into the forest. The Forest Service and CCC planted trees, carved trails, built roads, and conducted research; actively molding forests and applying the latest forestry techniques instead of letting the forest take its course.3 A third period of great change came in the 1970s during the environmental era.4 The emphasis changed from conceptualizing the forests as resources to be converted into marketable goods to seeing them as wilderness in need of preservation. While conservation has always been an important part of the Forest Service - advocated by both those who saw an intrinsic value in wilderness and by those who used the wilderness for recreational purposes - increased urbanization highlighted the uniqueness of forests. Efforts to catalog and protect the environments of forests became a main priority while ecologists and conservationists gained status.5 These three main shifts defined the Forest Service in the twentieth century.

    2021 ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 3 WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE. The West isn’t just a direction. It’s not just a mark on a map or a point on a compass. The West is our heritage and our soul. It’s our parents and our grandparents. It’s the explorers and trailblazers and outlaws who came before us. And the proud people who were here before them. It’s the adventurous spirit that forged the American character. It’s wide-open spaces that dare us to dream audacious dreams. And grand mountains that make us feel smaller and bigger all at the same time. It’s a thump in your chest the first time you stand face to face with a buffalo. And a swelling of pride that a place like this still exists. It’s everything great about America. And it still flows through our veins. Some people say it’s vanishing. But we say it never will. It will live as long as there are people who still live by its code and safeguard its wonders. It will live as long as there are places like Yellowstone and towns like Cody, Wyoming. Because we are blood brothers, Yellowstone and Cody. One and the same. This is where the Great American Adventure calls home. And if you listen closely, you can hear it calling you. 4 CODYYELLOWSTONE.ORG CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 5 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody with eight Native American members of the cast of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, HISTORY ca.
