    BRISTLECONE GREAT BASIN NATIONAL PARK SUMMER, 1990 INFORMATION ACTIVITIES Welcome to Great Basin National Park Welcome to Great Basin National Park; an area of surprising beauty and diver­ sity. As the nation's 49th national park, Great Basin enters a select corps of the finest and most valued portions of this nation's heritage which are protected as units of the National Park System. A concept which began with Yellowstone National Park in 1872 and has spread throughout the country and, indeed, around the globe, now has incorporated one of the most superlative examples of Great Basin geology, biologic diversity and scenic grandeur. As you visit Great Basin National Park this season, we hope that you take ad­ vantage of the naturalist programs and activities which will provide a greater understanding of this special place. Join a ranger on a walk to an ancient grove of bristlecone pines, or attend an evening campfire program to learn more of the history, geology or wildlife of the park. Schedules and program descriptions are to be found elsewhere in this newspaper. We sincerely believe that a more com­ plete understanding of what you see here, will help to enhance your appre­ Park Drafts Management Plan ciation of the park.

  • Appendix Q Areas of Critical Environmental Concern
    APPENDIX Q AREAS OF CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN APPENDIX Q APPENDIX Q AREAS OF CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN (ACECs) The ACEC designation is an administrative designation used by the BLM that is accomplished through the land use planning process. It is unique to the BLM in that no other agency uses this form of designation. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act states that the BLM will give priority to the designation and protection of ACECs in the development and revision of land use plans. BLM regulations (43 Code of Federal Regulations part 1610) define an ACEC as an area “within the public lands where special management attention is required (when such areas are developed or used or where no development is required) to protect and prevent irreparable damage to important historic, cultural, or scenic values, fish and wildlife resources, or other natural systems or processes, or to protect life and safety from natural hazards.” Private lands and lands administered by other agencies are not included in the boundaries of ACECs. ACECs differ from other special management designations such as wilderness study areas in that designation by itself does not automatically prohibit or restrict other uses in the area (with the exception that a mining plan of operation is required for any proposed mining activity within a designated ACEC). In order to be designated, special management beyond standard provisions established by the plan must be required to protect the relevant and important values. RELEVANCE AND IMPORTANCE CRITERIA Relevance An area meets the relevance criteria if it contains one or more of the following: • A significant historic, cultural, or scenic value (including but not limited to rare or sensitive archeological resources and religious or cultural resources important to American Indians).

    United States Department of Agriculture Mistletoes of North Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station American Conifers General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-98 September 2002 Canadian Forest Service Department of Natural Resources Canada Sanidad Forestal SEMARNAT Mexico Abstract _________________________________________________________ Geils, Brian W.; Cibrián Tovar, Jose; Moody, Benjamin, tech. coords. 2002. Mistletoes of North American Conifers. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS–GTR–98. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 123 p. Mistletoes of the families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae are the most important vascular plant parasites of conifers in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Species of the genera Psittacanthus, Phoradendron, and Arceuthobium cause the greatest economic and ecological impacts. These shrubby, aerial parasites produce either showy or cryptic flowers; they are dispersed by birds or explosive fruits. Mistletoes are obligate parasites, dependent on their host for water, nutrients, and some or most of their carbohydrates. Pathogenic effects on the host include deformation of the infected stem, growth loss, increased susceptibility to other disease agents or insects, and reduced longevity. The presence of mistletoe plants, and the brooms and tree mortality caused by them, have significant ecological and economic effects in heavily infested forest stands and recreation areas. These effects may be either beneficial or detrimental depending on management objectives. Assessment concepts and procedures are available. Biological, chemical, and cultural control methods exist and are being developed to better manage mistletoe populations for resource protection and production. Keywords: leafy mistletoe, true mistletoe, dwarf mistletoe, forest pathology, life history, silviculture, forest management Technical Coordinators_______________________________ Brian W.

  • Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan, Great Basin National Park
    National Park Service | Department of the Interior ACCESSIBILITY SELF-EVALUATION AND TRANSITION PLAN GREAT BASIN NATIONAL PARK | NEVADA MARCH 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The park’s Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan (SETP) includes findings from the self-evaluation process, as well as a plan for improving accessibility parkwide. The Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan resulted from the work of an NPS interdisciplinary team, including planning, design, and construction professionals; and interpretive, resource, visitor safety, maintenance, and accessibility specialists. Site plans, photographs, and specific actions for identified park areas were developed. Associated time frames and implementation strategies were established to assist NPS park staff in scheduling and performing required actions and to document completed work. Park policies, practices, communication, and training needs were also addressed. The goals of the plan are to 1) document existing park barriers to accessibility for people with disabilities, 2) provide an effective approach for upgrading facilities, services, activities, and programs, and 3) instill a culture around creating universal access. The following are the key park experiences and associated park areas addressed in the transition plan: 1) Geologic features and processes of Great Basin National Park– Baker Creek Campground, Bristlecone and Alpine Lakes Loop Trailhead and Parking Area, Great Basin National Park Visitor Center, Grey Cliffs Group Campground, Lehman Caves Visitor Center, Lehman Caves, Lehman Picnic Area, Pole Canyon Picnic Area, Wheeler Peak Campground, and Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive. 2) Human history extending back to the Paleo-Indians; includes American Indians, mining, and ranching history– Baker Creek Campground, Great Basin National Park Visitor Center, Grey Cliffs Group Campground, Lehman Caves Visitor Center, Lehman Caves, Lehman Picnic Area, Pole Canyon Picnic Area, and Shoshone Trailhead and Trail.
