  • A Conservation Blueprint for Neotropical Migratory Birds in Western Colorado
    A Conservation Blueprint for Neotropical Migratory Birds in Western Colorado Michelle Fink, David Hanni, David Klute, John Sovell, and Renée Rondeau December 2007 Photo by Dave Menke, Photo Courtesy of U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Final report submitted to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (Neotropical Migratory Bird Act). Executive Summary The purpose of this project was to incorporate land use, policy, and biological inputs to define areas representing the most important opportunities for conservation of Neotropical migratory birds in coniferous and aspen forest habitats in Western Colorado and to understand the current status and requirements for maintaining viable populations of these migratory birds within the project area. To that end, we used NatureServe Vista, a decision-support software, and SPOT, a conservation portfolio optimization software, to analyze information about bird distribution, abundance, conservation priorities, quantitative conservation goals, threats to ecosystem stability, and current landscape integrity in order to identify conservation needs and opportunities for birds in aspen and conifer forests in western Colorado. Twenty-two forest-based bird species were used as conservation targets. Multi-year survey data from the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory was combined with data from the Colorado Natural Heritage Program’s Biodiversity Tracking and Conservation System (BIOTICS) database in addition to modified Southwest Regional GAP vertebrate models for the target species. We used available statewide spatial data to determine general landscape integrity for these species, current and future predicted land use, and policy mandated protection status. This information was then input in NatureServe Vista and SPOT projects and evaluated against varying conservation goal sets for the target species.

  • Landscape Character Descriptions of the White River National Forest
    Final Environmental Impact Statement Volume 3 Landscape Character Descriptions of the White River National Forest Headwaters of the South Fork of the White River Jan Spencer – Landscape Architect Writer/Editor Ron Wright – Soil Scientist Bill Kight – Heritage Resource Manager Kit Buell – Wildlife Biologist Carolyn Upton – Social/Economics Specialist Marsha Raus – Fisheries Biologist Narrative and Photography Contributors: Ron Taussig, Beth Boyst, George Myser, Tom Kuekes, Al Grimshaw, Dan Mathews, Paula Johnston, Kathy Hardy, Angela Glenn, Gary Osier P-1 Appendix P White River National Forest Preface The word landscape evokes certain unique and special images and meanings to each of us as individuals. As children we may have attached a sense of place to some small parcel of ground, be it a backyard or an open meadow blooming with the rainbow color of wildflowers. The rest of our lives then build upon those early impressions, layer upon layer of geographic recognition. Year after year we go back to a stream, yet each time we fish there we read something new into the landscape. It may even be some picnic spot with a backdrop of mountain majesty we can still see in our mind even with our eyes closed. These places uplift our spirit, but we are hard-pressed to put into words exactly how or why we feel the way we do. The comforting sense of familiarity a prominent granite peak holds for us never quite gets communicated beyond the photo image. “Like all real treasures of the mind, perception can be split into infinitely small fractions without losing its quality.

    PRESS KIT WEBSITE www.huts.org ADDRESS 1280 Ute Avenue│Suite 21│Aspen,Colorado 81611 TELEPHONE 970/925-4554 Ben Dodge | Executive Director | [email protected] Press Inquiries | Cindy Carpenter | [email protected] A HISTORY 10th Mountain Division Hut Association TH MOUNTAIN DIVISION HuT ASSOCIATION is a product of 10 one man’s dream. In this case the man is Fritz Benedict, an architect who has been closely involved in the design of Aspen, Vail and other ski area com- munities. Benedict’s dream was influenced by a system of huts in New Hampshire that dates back over 100 years, as well as the famous skiing Haute Route between Chamonix, France and Zermatt, Switzerland. In Benedict’s mind, a similar system connecting Aspen and Vail, Colorado seemed a logical way to provide access to Colorado’s beautiful and challenging backcountry during the winter months. It was also his dream to honor the infantrymen of the U.S. Army’s 10th Moun- tain Division, who learned their skiing and mountaineering skills at Camp Hale, north of Leadville near Tennessee Pass. In fact, much of the territory that now comprises the 10th Mountain Division Hut Association was originally part of the training ground for 10th Mountain Division troops, who fought critical battles in the Italian Dolomites near the end of World War II. Many of the soldiers went on to become key figures in the ski industry. In 1980 Benedict began putting his dream together. At that time he formed what later was to become the 10th Mountain Division Hut Association. The group con- sisted of architects, planners and backcountry guides, all of whom were keen to see Benedict’s dream realized.

  • Weather Modification for Precipitation Augmentation and Its Potential Usefulness to the Colorado River Basin States
    ABCO00001001 WEATHER MODIFICATION FOR PRECIPITATION AUGMENTATION AND ITS POTENTIAL USEFULNESS TO THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN STATES October 2005 Tom Ryan, Metropolitan Water District of Southern Califomia Technical Reviewers Joe Busto, Colorado Water Conservation Board, Vice-Chairman North American Interstate Weather Modification Council Arlen W. Huggins, Desert Research Institute, Nevada, Chairman North American Interstate Weather Modification Council Steven M. Hunter, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Denver ABC000001002 Executive Summary This paper provides a brief background of weather modification, information on existing programs and current issues, and provides recommendations for the Colorado River Basin States (Basin States) involvement or support of precipitation management through weather modification efforts. The purpose of winter cloud seeding to increase snowfall in mountainous areas is to increase runoff for hydroelectricity and water supplies for downstream areas. Increases in precipitation can improve soil moisture, stream flows, and reservoir levels. More water storage in reservoirs can allow for increased power generation, irrigation, and municipal and industrial use. Recreation, water quality, salinity reduction, fisheries, forest health, sensitive species, ranching, and tourism can all benefit from additional runoff. Members of weather modification organizations, public agencies, and private sector companies believe that cloud seeding has reached the point that a well managed program including a proper design component can

  • 50 YEARS STRONG! Wilderness Is a Battle That Always Needs Waging by Paul Andersen
    Jon Mullen protecting wild places and wildlife, for their sake – and ours Summer 2017 50 YEARS STRONG! Wilderness is a battle that always needs waging By Paul Andersen hirty years ago I interviewed Connie Harvey about the founding of T Wilderness Workshop. Connie said she was grateful that wilderness under statutory protection would no longer need defenders. “In order to preserve the land in its natural state,” she said, “it is absolutely necessary to have the kind of protection afforded by official wilderness areas. It is wonderful to feel that it is safe, that this is one battle we won’t have to go on fighting.” Or will we? In today’s political climate, nothing is guaranteed, espe- cially the protection of wilderness. Saving the legacy of visionaries who bequeath wilderness as a national legacy will be the job of future genera- tions. “The wilderness law is good,” acknowledged Connie, “but there are people bending it all the time, so it requires constant vigilance.” Wilderness historian Rod Nash writes: “Presently, in the 48 contiguous states, protected wilderness is approximately equal to paved surfaces: each occupies about two-percent of the total land mass. Wilderness is an endangered geographical species, and our generation has the final say about its continued existence.” Fighting a protracted campaign for wilderness requires diligence, perseverance, activism and faith that the values of wilderness will always have advocates. And what better role models for that campaign than Wilderness Workshop founders Connie Harvey, Joy Caudill and Dottie Fox? Their collective vision, boldness and tenacity set a tone 50 years ago CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 SUMMER SCHEDULE PG.
