  • 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).

Appalachian gas drillers have long suspected that the dark central New York State southward to northeastern Alabama, and from gray to black shale, known as the Marcellus Shale, that overlies the Maryland westward to central Ohio. In western Maryland, the Marcellus Oriskany was the likely source for the gas within this prolifically Shale underlies all of Garrett County and much of Allegany County productive sandstone. The Marcellus was considered “tight” or (cover illustration). Within Garrett County and westernmost Allegany unproductive as a potential gas reservoir, but recent innovations in gas County the Marcellus is between 5,000 and 9,000 feet deep (Figure 2). In well drilling and stimulation have changed that long-held paradigm.

  • Bedford County Natural Heritage Inventory, 1998
    BEDFORD COUNTY NATURAL HERITAGE INVENTORY Prepared for: The Bedford County Planning Commission Russell Building, 203 S. Juliana Street Bedford, PA 15522 Prepared by: Western Pennsylvania Conservancy 209 Fourth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 September 1998 This project was funded by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation, by the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission under the Grant Agreement #GA-4174-6-0024 and by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Cover illustration: Topographic Settings map of Bedford County – hilltop upper slope lower slope valley bottom . Source: Bedford County Planning Commission. Printed on recycled paper PREFACE The Bedford County Natural Heritage Inventory identifies and maps Bedford County’s most significant natural places. The study investigated plant and animal species and natural communities that are unique or uncommon in the county; it also explored areas important for general wildlife habitat and scientific study. The inventory does not confer protection to any of the areas listed in the report. It is, however, a tool for informed and responsible decision-making. Public and private organizations may use the inventory to guide land acquisition and conservation decisions. Local municipalities and the County may use it to help with comprehensive planning, zoning and the review of development proposals. Developers, utility companies and government agencies alike may benefit from access to this environmental information prior to the creation of detailed development plans. Although the inventory was conducted using a tested and proven methodology, it is best viewed as a preliminary report rather than the final word on the subject of Bedford County’s natural heritage.

  • Green Ridge State Forest
    Green Ridge State Forest Driving Tour (44 miles, approximately 3 hours) This driving tour begins and ends at the forest headquarters and is approximately 44 miles. We recommend that you bring a picnic lunch with you, as it will take approximately three hours to complete the tour. For added enjoyment, you may want to bring binoculars, cameras, GPS units, and field guides. At 47,560 acres, Green Ridge State Forest (Green Ridge) is the largest adjoining block of public land in Maryland. Green Ridge is located within the Ridge and Valley Province of the Appalachian Mountains. It is rich in both natural and cultural heritage and remains a "working forest," as it is managed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Forest Service to conserve the natural ecological processes, while supporting the economy of the region through an active forest management program. The Maryland Forest Service mission is to restore, Department Photo manage, and protect Maryland's trees, forests, and forested ecosystems to sustain our natural resources and connect people to the land. The Maryland Forest Service invites you to take this opportunity to become better acquainted with your state forest and the benefits it offers. This self-guided tour is designed so you can enjoy the beauty of Green Ridge and learn about the forest’s management and its many assets. Narratives within this tour focus on the autumn setting, but we believe you will find your state forest offers beauty and splendor each time you visit, no matter the season. We hope you enjoy your tour through Green Ridge.
