The diversity of parks and their resources are reflected in their designations as national parks, seashores, historic sites, recreation areas, military parks, memorials, and rivers and trails. Biological, physical, and social science research results, natural resource inventory and monitoring data, scientific literature reviews, bibliographies, and proceedings of technical workshops and conferences related to these park units are disseminated through the NPS/NER Technical Report (NRTR) and Natural Resources Report (NRR) series. The reports are a continuation of series with previous acronyms of NPS/PHSO, NPS/MAR, NPS/BSO-RNR and NPS/NERBOST. Individual parks may also disseminate information through their own report series. Natural Resources Reports are the designated medium for information on technologies and resource management methods; “how to” resource management papers; proceedings of resource management workshops or conferences; and natural resource program descriptions and resource action plans. Technical Reports are the designated medium for initially disseminating data and results of biological, physical, and social science research that addresses natural resource management issues; natural resource inventories and monitoring activities; scientific literature reviews; bibliographies; and peer-reviewed proceedings of technical workshops, conferences, or symposia. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use by the National Park Service. Print copies of reports in these series, produced in limited quantity and only available as long as the supply lasts, or preferably, file copies on CD, may be obtained by sending a request to the address on the back cover.

It was designated as the first National Scenic Trail by the National Trails System Act of 1968. Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT): The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is administered primarily as a footpath by the National Park Service in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the 14 States encompassing the Trail, providing for maximum outdoor recreation potential as an extended trail and for the conservation and enjoyment of the nationally significant scenic, historic, natural, and cultural resources of the areas through which the Trail passes. It is the mission of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail to foster the Cooperative Management System of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in order to preserve and provide for the enjoyment of the varied scenic, historic, natural and cultural qualities of the areas between the states of Maine and Georgia through which the Trail passes. The Appalachian Trail is a way, continuous from Maine to Georgia, for travel on foot through the wild, scenic, wooded, pastoral, and culturally significant lands of the Appalachian Mountains. It is a means of sojourning among these lands, such that visitors may experience them by their own unaided efforts. The body of the Trail is provided by the lands it traverses, and its soul is in the living stewardship of the volunteers and partners of the Appalachian Trail Cooperative Management System. Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC): The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is a volunteer-based, private non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of the 2,175-mile Appalachian National Scenic Trail, a 280,000-acre greenway extending from Maine to Georgia. The mission of the ATC is to ensure that future generations will enjoy the clean air and water, scenic vistas, wildlife and opportunities for simple recreation and renewal along the entire Trail corridor. Formerly known as the Appalachian Trail Conference, the ATC is an 80-year-old organization whose roots are traced to the vision of Benton MacKaye, who convened and organized the first Appalachian Trail “conference” – a gathering of hikers, foresters and public officials – in Washington, D.C., in 1925. Today, the ATC works with 30 maintaining clubs and multiple partners to engage the public in conserving this essential American resource. ATC coordinates the Appalachian Trail’s management and protection in conjunction with a wide range of partners, including the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (NPS), USDA Forest Service, 14 states, and 30 Trail-maintaining clubs.

The trail corridor averages 1,000 feet wide, spans fully 2,175 miles from Maine to Georgia and repeatedly traverses the major elevational, latitudinal, ecological and cultural gradients that characterize the eastern United States. Appalachian Trail lands include approximately 280,000 acres, making it one of the largest parks in the east. Knowing the condition of natural resources within national parks is fundamental to the National Park Service’s (NPS) ability to manage park resources Rhododendron: Round Bald, TN © Joe Cook “unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” The purpose of this document is to present the list of Appalachian Trail Vital Signs and determine of impending threats.

It is a relatively sparsely populated region compared to adjacent regions, and is characterized by hills and mountains, a mostly Ecoregions of New England forested land cover, nutrient-poor frigid and cryic soils (mostly Spodosols), and numerous high-gradient streams and glacial lakes. Forest vegetation is somewhat transitional between the boreal regions to the north in Canada and the broadleaf deciduous forests to the south. Typical forest types include northern hardwoods (maple-beech-birch), northern hardwoods/spruce, and northeastern spruce-fir forests. Recreation, tourism, and forestry are primary land uses.

  • By Keane Southard Program Notes
    An Appalachian Trail Symphony: New England (Symphony No. 1) by Keane Southard Program notes: An Appalachian Trail Symphony: New England (Symphony No. 1) for Orchestra was begun during my hike of the 734-mile New England portion of the Appalachian Trail (June 11, 2016-August 26, 2016) and completed in late March 2017. The symphony was commissioned by a consortium of orchestras throughout New England in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the completion of the trail, which stretches over approximately 2,200 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. I grew up in central Massachusetts, but a few years before I was born my father was a graduate student at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, through which the Appalachian Trail runs after it crosses the Connecticut River from Vermont into New Hampshire. (I actually composed the majority of the symphony in Hanover, with the AT lying only a few hundred feet away in the woods.) They loved living in New Hampshire, and when my siblings and I were young they took us on so many camping and weekend trips around New Hampshire and Vermont. These trips instilled in me a love of the outdoors and this region as well as made me aware of the AT itself. While we didn't do much hiking on those trips, I was captivated by the idea of one day hiking this legendary trail. When I later started to get serious about composing, I thought it would be wonderful to hike the trail and then write a piece of music about the experience some day.

  • Murder on the Appalachian Trail Paul David Crews In
    Murder on the Appalachian Trail Paul David Crews In September of 1990, a young couple, Geoffrey Hood (26) and Molly LaRue (25), set out to hike Appalachian Trail. Hood was from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and LaRue was from Signal Mountain, Tennessee.1 They both worked for an organization that took troubled kids on “wilderness” trips to “challenge them and counsel them”, but they had left their jobs to hike the Appalachian Trail .2 About halfway through their hike, Hood and LaRue crossed paths with Paul David Crews. Crews was a wanted criminal in the state of Florida for a murder he committed in 1986. Crews brutally murdered Hood and LaRue at a trailside shelter near the Susquehanna River. Crews shot Hood three times, and “bound, tortured and raped” LaRue before stabbing her eight times in the throat and back until she died.3 Another hiker, Brian Bowen, and his wife found the bodies on September 13, 1990. Bowen said LaRue’s body was “lying amid scattered camping equipment, naked, hands tied behind her back, head bloodied”, and he immediately notified the police of the murder.4 The West Virginia Police found Crews eight days later with Hood’s backpack and the murder weapons, a”.22 caliber revolver and a knife.”5 In New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, the Perry County courthouse convicted Crews of two accounts of first­degree murder, and Crews received the death sentence. However, in 2006, Crews’ sentence was replaced with two consecutive life sentences without the ability to have parole.6 1 Nussbaum, Paul. “Backpacker Tells Of Finding Hikers’ Bodies.” Philly.com.

L’étude est basée sur un ensemble de mesures de température (GST, sous-sol) et de neige, ainsi que des modèles spatiaux de distribution potentielle de la GST et des simulations numériques du régime thermique du sol. Les résultats montrent que la distribution de la GST sur le plateau est principalement corrélée avec la répartition du couvert nival. Au-dessus de la limite de la végétation, le plateau est caractérisé par un couvert de neige peu épais et discontinu en hiver en raison de la topographie du site et l’action des forts vents. La GST est alors couplée avec les températures de l’air amenant des conditions froides en surface.

That the boundary line between the counties of Ashe and Wilkes, be, and the same is hereby, changed so as to include all the A. L. Miller land lying South of the public road running along the top of the Blue Ridge Mountain, except the A. L. Miller residence which is not in Ashe County, 70 in the County of Wilkes. An act repealing chapter 425 of the Public-Local Laws of 1931 relative to the boundary line between Ashe and Wilkes was passed in 1933. 71 AVERY Avery County was formed in 1911 from Mitchell, Watauga, and Caldwell. It was named in honor of Colonel Waightstill Avery, a soldier of the Revolution and attorney general of North Carolina. It is in the northwestern section of the State and is bounded by the state of Tennessee and the counties of Watauga, Caldwell, Burke, McDowell and Mitchell. The present area is 247 square miles and the population is 13,560. Commissioners were named in the act establishing the county who were to select two or more sites for the county seat after which the county commissioners were to hold an election and the people were to vote on the sites. Whatever site was selected, it was to be called Newland. Newland, the county seat, was named in honor of W. C. Newland, then lieutenant governor of North Carolina. 72 Beginning at the highest point of Grandfather Mountain, the corner of Watauga, Caldwell and Mitchell counties, and running a direct line to the Hanging Rock Mountain; thence with the dividing ridge to the Turnpike

Shakespeare talked of seven ages of man. More recently Erik Erikson has thought of five separate stages in human life. All of these begin to break down, however, when we think of the end of eras. Partially because of the chronological pressure, such times come at the end of centuries. When one adds to the end of a century the concept of an end of a millennium, the sense of change, of difference, of end time can be very powerful, if not overwhelming. The termination of the nineteenth and the eighteenth centuries were much discussed as to the future.
