    Central Appalachian Forest Ecoregional Plan February 2001 The Nature Conservancy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Central Appalachian Forest Ecoregional Plan The Nature Conservancy The Nature Conservancy’s Central Appalachian Forest ecoregion encompasses the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Great Valley, the Ridge and Valley, and the Allegheny Mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Valleys are mostly settled with farms and, more recently, urban and suburban development, but the vast majority of the hills and mountains of this ecoregion are forested. Lying so close to the major East Coast metropolitan areas of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC, the region represents a tremendous natural resource for both the local people and these urbanites. The high mountains, the lack of past glacial coverage, and the environmental diversity of this ecoregion have combined to make this area one of the most ecologically diverse regions of the eastern United States. This ecoregional plan has identified plants, animals, natural communities, and ecological systems that represent the most urgent conservation priorities for The Nature Conservancy and its partners. Using an exceptional Natural Heritage database and sound science, this plan recommends protection of 467 sites. Within this set of sites, The Nature Conservancy has selected 122 sites for immediate conservation action. The approximate area covered by the portfolio is 3,011,000 acres. Of this area, 2,530,000 acres occurs within large, roadless forest areas. Therefore, smaller sites cover an additional 481,000 acres. The Federal government manages approximately 46% of roadless forest area acreage and various state governments an additional 18%. The majority of the remaining area of roadless forest areas is privately owned.

    The Northeast Region The Northeast Region Land and Water of the Northeast The region between the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes is called the Northeast region. The Northeast region includes eleven states. The Northeast region has broad valleys, rolling hills, and low mountains. The Appalachian Mountains stretch from Maine in the Northeast region down to Alabama in the Southeast region. Several different mountain ranges make up the This map shows the eleven states of the Northeast Appalachian Mountains, including the region. Allegheny Mountains, the Pocono Mountains, the Adirondack Mountains, and the Catskills. The Appalachian Mountains are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. Although they used to be very tall, they are much smaller now. Over time, water, wind, and ice have caused the rock of the mountains to slowly break down. Now the peaks of the Appalachian Mountains are smooth and rounded. The longest hiking trail in the world is the Appalachian Trail. It goes from Maine to Georgia, along the spine of the mountain range, through more than 2,000 miles of valleys, hills, and rivers. The Appalachian Trail is a very popular place to hike. There are many people who have hiked the entire trail! The tops of the Appalachian Mountains have been worn down over many millions of years. ★ created by Jill S. Russ ★ mrsruss.com ★ Page 1 Mount Washington in New Hampshire is part of the Appalachian Mountain range. At 6,288 feet tall, Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeast. Mount Washington has some of the world's most severe weather.

    Was Pittsburgh’s Economic Destiny Set in 1815? EDWARD K. MULLER first read The Urban Frontier as a graduate student in historical geog- Iraphy many years ago. I naturally focused on the geographical impli- cations of Richard C. Wade’s thesis that towns emerged on the Ohio Valley frontier along with the earliest pioneers, “held the West for the approaching population,” and accelerated its transformation to a settled region.1 This critical insight into the settlement process anchored my dissertation.2 His view that “towns were the spearheads” and not the cul- mination of the settlement process, overturned the conventional Tu rnerian interpretation of frontier urbanization and spurred the work of many subsequent scholars.3 At the time of my initial reading, I paid little attention to Wade’s comparative methodology and comprehensive topical coverage.

Distance 1.4 Miles pawalkworks.com Allegheny Mountain Magic Walk Route Gallitzin Tunnels Park & Museum 1 The Gallitzin Tunnels Park & Museum features a souvenir shop, historical artifacts, and a display of photographs depicting the community’s industrial, social, and religious heritage as well as a restored 1942 Pennsylvania caboose whose interior is visible to visitors. Immediately adjacent to the museum is a 24 seat theater offering scheduled videos and programs dealing with railroad heritage and other current topics. The Museum also houses the borough office, a police station, a library and an archival room. Gallitzin Tunnels 2 The Gallitzin Tunnels formed the Pennsylvania Railroad’s passage through the Allegheny Mountains in western Pennsylvania. Ownership has since passed from the Pennsylvania Railroad to the Norfolk Southern Railway with the tunnels currently being used by Norfolk Southern freight trains and Amtrak passenger trains. The first of three tunnels, the “Allegheny Tunnel,” originally named “Summit Tunnel,” was built between 1851 and 1854. The Allegheny Tunnel is 3,612 feet long and is located at an elevation of 2,167 feet above mean sea level. The second tunnel, the southernmost of the bores, was constructed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from 1852 to 1855 as part of the New Portage Railroad. Construction on the third tunnel, the “Gallitzin Tunnel,” located immediately to the north of the Allegheny Tunnel, began in 1902 and was completed in 1904.

  • CONNECTING to COLLECTIONS PENNSYLVANIA a Five-Year Preservation Plan for Pennsylvania PROJECT OVERVIEW
    CONNECTING TO COLLECTIONS PENNSYLVANIA a five-year preservation plan for Pennsylvania PROJECT OVERVIEW Imagining Our Future: Preserving Pennsylvania’s Collections, published in August 2009, includes an in-depth analysis of conditions and needs at Pennsylvania’s collecting institutions, a detailed preservation plan to improve collections care throughout the state, and a five-year implementation timetable (2010-2015). The analysis concludes that many of Pennsylvania’s most important historic holdings must be considered at risk. Millions of items comprise these collections, and the financial resources available to care for them are limited and shrinking. Pennsylvania is a state vibrant with world-class art museums, libraries, historic sites. Arts and culture play a substantial role in creating business, jobs, and bringing revenue into the state and stewardship of its artifacts is too important —to the state, to the people, to the history of country—to be ignored. This call to action is a rallying cry for all future generations of Pennsylvanians. With generous support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and in close partnership with three leading preservation organizations, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the Pennsylvania Federation of Museums and Historical Organizations (PFMHO), and LYRASIS, the Conservation Center for Arts & Historic Artifacts organized and led the assessment and planning process. The project was capably guided by a Task Force with representatives from the Office of (PA) Commonwealth Libraries, the Western Pennsylvania Museum Council, the Pennsylvania Caucus of the Mid- Atlantic Regional Archives Conference, Pennsylvania State University, the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries, the University of Pittsburgh, and Carnegie Mellon University.

  • REPORTER DISPATCH Summer 2011 the Journal of Old Allegheny History and Lore Number 54
    The Allegheny City Society REPORTER DISPATCH Summer 2011 The Journal of Old Allegheny History and Lore Number 54 Tour a Great Success Meadville Civil War tour visits sites and archives by Ruth McCartan Rain, Rain and more Rain was the order of the day for the April 16 Meadville tour. But a few rain drops, let alone an all- day rain, would not dampen the spirits of these history bluffs in search of stories from the Civil War. The Meadville Unitarian Church was the first stop. It was built in 1836 by George Cullum, a West point engineer who helped build Fort Sumter, and financed by Harm Jan Huidekoper, a Dutch land agent and Calvinist turned Uni- tarian. The church building has not changed much since the founding families dedicated it. After a tour of the sanctuary the group visited with the members of the Meadville Civil War Roundtable in their library at the Historical Society. Anne Stewart told of Capt. David Dickerson of Co. K, 150th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, this Meadville unit was detailed to be President Abraham Lincoln guards at the Summer Cottage just outside of Washington D.C. A map with an Allegheny City connection was brought out of storage for viewing. Alexander Hays, who worked for the Allegheny City engineering department before the Civil War, created a large map of the Meadville area while a student of Allegheny Col- lege. Hays, was to go on to become a general and was killed The grave site of John Brown’s first wife and their infant child in the cemetery in New Richmond was a stop on the tour.

  • Mountains of Alleghenies: a Comprehensive Look at the Non Educational Usage of the Allegheny Brand
    MOUNTAINS OF ALLEGHENIES: A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT THE NON EDUCATIONAL USAGE OF THE ALLEGHENY BRAND from research conducted for the dissertation SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST? THE REBRANDING OF WEST VIRGINIA HIGHER EDUCATION this section was eliminated from the final version of Chapter 9 James Martin Owston, EdD Keywords: Higher education, rebranding, brand identity, college-to-university Copyright 2007 by James Martin Owston MOUNTAINS OF ALLEGHENIES Stretching from New York to North Carolina, the name Allegheny and its variant spellings pepper the United States map. For example, Pennsylvania is home to Allegheny County. Maryland and New York have counties named Allegany. Farther south, Virginia and North Carolina each sport an Alleghany County. As with the varied spelling, the exact origin and the original meaning of “Allegheny” were unknown. Although a Native American derivation is most certain, the original word identified as “Oolikhanna” has been variously credited to the Delaware, Algonquin, Cherokee, Seneca, and Proto- Iroquoian languages and dialects. Of its definition, some have suggested the following: “best river,” “fine river,” “cold river,” “swift river,” “beautiful river,” “endless or boundless mountains,” “the great warpath,” and simply a name derived from the homeland of the Allegwi (a supposed northern branch of the Cherokee tribe). Whatever the source, the name was adopted first by the French and later by the English who applied it to the mountains and the river that now bear the name (Errett, 1885; “Maryland Local Governments,” 2002; Mooney, 1975; Stephens, 1921; Taylor, 1898). Because of its geographical connection, the Allegheny appellation is extremely well known and its usage is widespread.

  • 1 I-68/I-70: a WINDOW to the APPALACHIANS by Dr. John J
    I-68/I-70: A WINDOW TO THE APPALACHIANS by Dr. John J. Renton Dept. of Geology & Geography West Virginia University Morgantown, WV Introduction The Appalachian Mountains are probably the most studied mountains on Earth. Many of our modern ideas as to the origin of major mountain systems evolved from early investigations of the Appalachian region. The Appalachians offer a unique opportunity to experience the various components of an entire mountain system within a relatively short distance and period of time. Compared to the extensive areas occupied by other mountain systems such as the Rockies and the Alps, the Appalachians are relatively narrow and can be easily crossed within a few hours driving time. Following I-68 and I-70 between Morgantown, WV, and Frederick, Maryland, for example, one can visit all of the major structural components within the Appalachians within a distance of about 160 miles. Before I continue, I would like to clarify references to the Allegheny and Appalachian mountains. The Allegheny Mountains were created about 250 million years ago when continents collided during the Alleghenian Orogeny to form the super-continent of Pangea (Figure 1). As the continents collided, a range of mountains were created in much the same fashion that the Himalaya Mountains are now being formed by the collision of India and Asia. About 50 million years after its Figure 1 1 creation, Pangea began to break up with the break occurring parallel to the axis of the original mountains. As the pieces that were to become our present continents moved away from each other, the Indian, Atlantic, and Arctic oceans were created (Figure 2).

Ulrey, Vegetation Specialist, U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, NC 28805. Cover Photos Ecological zones, regions of similar physical conditions and biological potential, are numerous and varied in the Southern Appalachian Mountains and are often typified by plant associations like the red spruce, Fraser fir, and northern hardwoods association found on the slopes of Mt. Mitchell (upper photo) and characteristic of high-elevation ecosystems in the region. Sites within ecological zones may be characterized by geologic formation, landform, aspect, and other physical variables that combine to form environments of varying temperature, moisture, and fertility, which are suitable to support characteristic species and forests, such as this Blue Ridge Parkway forest dominated by chestnut oak and pitch pine with an evergreen understory of mountain laurel (lower photo).
