This report is the first step in determining where data are lacking and what further investigation may be necessary for community planning and resource development purposes. The research has been driven by two primary questions: 1) What information and resources currently exist on water resources in Cobre Valley and 2) what further research is necessary to provide valuable and accurate information so that community members and decision makers can reach their long-term water resource management goals? Areas of investigation include: water supply, water quality, drought and floods, economic factors, and water-dependent environmental values. Research for this report was conducted through the systematic collection of data and information from numerous local, state, and federal sources.

You are about to participate in Varsity Scouting's most elevating activity for the year 2008. If you have planned right, you are about to have a mountain top experience that you will remember forever. It will help to culminate the last years’ worth of Team activities and will guide you and your Team through the upcoming year. I commend you for your choice to participate in Operation On Target this year. There are over 70 Teams participating in this year's activity. This is the biggest year ever for Arizona On Target! Team will be on Arizona peaks from Hayden Peak in the northwest to Mount Graham in the southeast. That will cover most of the state! Every Team should have ample opportunity to send and receive signals from several peaks. Please make every effort to be at your appointed location and be ready to go at 9:00 am. For some of you, that means a hike beginning at daybreak! Last year we had some Teams trying to make contact with Teams that had left early, so plan to stay until noon. Don’t forget to finish up with a “reflection”.

    United States Department of Agriculture Story Map: Forest Health Summary for Southwestern Region 2019 USDA Forest Service Forest Health Protection, Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management, New Mexico State Forestry Background: This is an accessible version of the content on the ESRI Story Map with the Forest Health Summary for the Southwestern Region 2019 which is at: http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/r3/healthreport. This document contains the text and photographs of the Story Map, however note that the content of the interactive maps are not capable of being reproduced here. Introduction The Forest Health Protection Program works collaboratively with Arizona State Department of Forestry and Fire Management and New Mexico State Forestry to conduct annual aerial detection surveys of forest health conditions. These surveys assess forest insect and disease issues throughout the Southwestern Region. This includes damage such as tree mortality caused by bark beetles, tree defoliation by leaf/needle feeding caterpillars, tree discoloration, or branch flagging caused by pathogens, and abiotic factors like hail damage. In 2019, approximately 23,100,000 acres of Federal, state and private forest and woodlands in NM and AZ were surveyed. Insect and disease damage detectable from an aircraft were recorded by host, damage agent and intensity of damage using the Digital Mobile Sketchmapping application on Android tablets. Damage is recorded with points for small occurrences or with polygons for larger areas and given intensity levels depending on the severity of the damage. When interpreting this data, special attention should be paid to intensity levels. For more information on data interpretation, please read the methodology section below.

  • 2018 – 2019 Town Report
    TOWN OF RICHMOND, VERMONT 225thANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019 Thank You Harriet Riggs We are honored to dedicate this 225th Annual Report to Mrs. Harriet Riggs. Harriet Wheatly Riggs has made her home in Richmond since 1943, when she married Richmond resident Heath Riggs. Harriet served as a 4-H leader under the University of Vermont Extension Service for many years, specializing in Foods and Home Economics. She also served as a freelance correspondent for the Burlington Free Press, beginning in 1953, writing many articles about Richmond and its residents. In 1957 she was named Mrs. Vermont, based on her community service and work as President of the Richmond Parent Teacher Association. Harriet was the first female deacon of the Richmond Congregational Church. As a founding member of the Richmond Historical Society, she served as the Society’s archivist and a Round Church Guide for many years. With others, she authored the book Richmond VT, A History of More Than 200 Years and has served as Richmond Town Historian for many years. On June 4, 2019 Harriet turned 100 years old and is still active today. We thank her for her remarkable service to the Town of Richmond VT. The Making of the Richmond Town Banners The idea for the town banners originated from Lisa Curtis, owner of Sweet Simone’s and member of Western Slopes Business Association. Lisa wanted to beautify downtown Richmond with colorful pole banners and asked Radiate Art Space if we could to help ac- complish her vision. WSBA kindly offered to pay for the materials and handle the logistics of hanging the banners, and Radiate volunteers got to work brainstorming what kind of images and messaging would best represent our town.

  • July 15Th – Pikes Peak Group Program
    July 2014 | No. 203 July 15th – Pikes Peak Group Program Jes Meiris Presents: Big wall speed climbing on El Capitan Please join us in welcoming Jes Meiris to the monthly program Her passions include climbing big walls in alpine style, of the CMC’s Pikes Peak Group at 7:30 p.m. on July 15th in the mountain biking, hiking, playing piano, and snow sports. All Souls Unitarian Church, 730 N. Tejon St. Personal climbing adventures have yielded ascents in Squamish BC, Yosemite CA, Red Rocks NV, Smith Rocks OR, the Cascades, and Colorado's Rocky Mountains to name a few. With climbing partner Quinn Brett, she held the women's speed record on the Nose of El Capitan (10 hours, 19 minutes, on June 10, 2012), and just a couple of days ago reclaimed the record. Come hear about the history, the training for climbing almost four thousand vertical feet, the mental challenges, and bringing all the elements together for a successful climb. Jes is a Colorado native whose passion for the outdoors was kindled at a very young age.
