You will see some new developments on the Llano Estacado Wildflower Trail. Staff from Texas Tech’s Department of Facilities, Planning, and Construction devised a plan to build a more suitable trail head entrance. This design will make the trail head ADA compliant along with the additional 1/2 mile portion of the trail. Grade work preparations began last fall by Erodium cicutarium, Erodium texanum Storksbill Landmark staff, and the final grade and concrete work was finished by a local construction contractor in When one looks at the wildflower storksbill, it is very difficult to March.

  • Lubbock Comprehensive Plan Introduction

    Lubbock Comprehensive Plan Introduction

    Population and Economics 2004 Update Report Lubbock Comprehensive Plan Introduction The Population and Economics Report is an element of the Lubbock Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the structure of the economy and demography of Lubbock and produce projections for population, land use and economic development. The Population and Economics Report should be evaluated on a timely basis to reflect changes in the economy and demography of Lubbock. The Population and Economics report is used by businesses, governmental agencies, churches, students, and civic organizations to determine needs and develop strategies to meet those needs. To better serve users of this report a greater emphasis is on the graphic presentation of statistical data. The Population and Economics Report is divided into sections on the economy, population and goals. Evaluation of the economic structure is fundamental to the population analysis because economic and human resources are the foundation of any community. Goals reflect the desires of the citizens to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for their community and to focus the available resources to achieve these goals. Most chapters in the report are subdivided into Historic, Existing and Outlook sections to illustrate the evolution of the specific topics. To accommodate the increased interest in water usage and planning, projections are made to the year 2050 for the City of Lubbock and the Retail Trade area. It should be noted that while the Planning Department of the City of Lubbock is responsible for this report and great care has been used in the assembly and review of this document, accuracy is limited by the reliability of the current Land Use Data File and the accuracy of data obtained from other sources.

    Notes from the ...Field the Landmark Is on Fire

    The Newsletter of Lubbock Lake National Historic Landmark Winter 2013 Notes from the ...Field The Landmark is on Fire By Matthew McEwen, Heritage Maintenance Technician Heritage Maintenance Supervisor Scott Trevey directs fire fighters from Lubbock Fire Department At the Landmark, prescribed burning is a part of restoration efforts in order to manipulate the vegetation to what it looked like before European settlement. Fire plays an integral part for achieving many of the management objectives. These objectives include suppressing mesquite, increasing biodiversity, and improving habitat for the Texas horned lizard. Prescribed burning is the controlled application of fire to the landscape under specified environmental conditions. Weather in the for of wind speed, direction, temperature, humidity, and frontal systems are important factors when planning and implementing a prescribed burn. The trails, perimeter roads, and archaeology-friendly mineral lines are used where possible to confine where the fire should burn. The Landmark’s recent reintroduction of fire includes prescribed burning of several hundred brush piles since 2006, a prescribed burn around the Llano Estacado Wildflower Trail in 2009, and another in the northern 80 acres in 2010. These burns have been applied during the dormant season. The dormant season typically provides for higher humidity and lower temperatures, allowing the fire behavior to be relatively predictable.

Kelsey Barnett Graduate Fellow in Museum Science, Heritage and Museum Sciences, Museum of Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas Saving Time: Creating Accessible Collections Through Phased Catalog Entry Abstract – For all museums, the issue of balancing time with collections needs is ever present. Creating catalog records for collections with a large number of objects can take time away from other important projects. Three methods of catalog data entry have been tested for speed and accessibility while creating records for a large mineral collection with a previously documented inventory. After comparing the number of records created in a defined period of time per method, a phased entry format saves the most time and allowed for ease of access. This type of data entry turns the original inventory into a relational database by using catalog numbers and mineral DANA numbers, a mineral classification system, as common datapoints. This commonality ensures all original documentation is linked to the new, abbreviated records. Phased catalog entry is a method any museum can use to create time manageable projects while also maintaining collections management standards. 2. Rachel Chovan Lubbock Lake Landmark Collections Research Assistant, Heritage and Museum Sciences, Museum of Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas A Ventilated Storage Box for Gasoline and Paraffin Treated Objects Abstract – Museum professionals often encounter collection objects that were treated historically with hazardous chemicals for pest prevention and preservation. Timber beam sections and corn cobs from sites excavated in Texas and New Mexico during the 1930s and 1950s have been identified as having been treated with leaded gasoline and paraffin.

Since 1957 he has collected intensively throughout the area and has authen­ ticated the study with approximately 15,000 sheets in a series of approximately 4,500 collections. The speci mens have been processed according to standard herbarium proce­ dures. For the most part the collections have been distrib­ uted with the first set going to the Herbarium of Oklahoma State University, the second to Texas Technological College at Lubbock, Texas, and additional sets to other herbaria. The author has supplemented his own collect ions with specimens from research area in the herbaria of Oklahoma State University and Texas Technological College. Monographs, revisions and other taxonomic literature i n the Oklahoma State University Library and the personal libraries of Dr. U. T. Waterfall and the author were us ed i n the identification of the specimens.
