At any hour of the day, law enforcement agencies, national park and military officials may call upon the Unit to aid an unfortunate victim. The unit is on constant alert, via text messages, to search for and effect the rescue of hikers, skiers, rock climbers and outdoorsmen whenever and wherev- er tragedy strikes. The unit performs about 95% of its missions in Riverside County. However, it has trav- eled south into Mexico, north into the High Sierras and into Nevada to accomplish its lifesaving missions. The unit is currently comprised of 32 volunteers, who literally come from all walks of life. They regularly RIVERSIDE MOUNTAIN RESCUE UNIT leave their jobs (or in the middle of the night, their warm beds) to respond to a call for help. They do not receive remuneration for time given to search and rescue. The members make up a small, but spirited, group of mountaineers who spend one weekend each month training to sharpen their rescue skills. Each member must provide all of thier own equipment at a cost of more than $2,500. Beside acting as highly competent rescue workers, members also work closely with schools, clubs, church groups, and Scout troops throughout the area to teach mountain safety. The ounce of prevention may well prevent the untimely pound of cure. On the Cover... Looking up the permanent snow / ice field. Mt.

Within 15 minutes of taking this photo, at least 50 rocks in size from a few inches to over 4 feet careened down this slope which originated from the snow chute on the upper right. Fortunately the climber was at the base of this snow / ice field where this photo was taken. The climber was wearing a helmet, used crampons and ice axe on this ice slope. TIP: When hiking or climbing it is critically important to understand your surroundings and the equipment and skills necessary for safe travel. Stop Think, Observe, Plan (STOP) is a great acronym to remember be- fore a trek as well as when on an outing.

    United States Department of Native and Introduced Earthwormsfrom Agriculture Forest Service Selected Chaparral, Woodland, and Pacific Southwest Research Station Riparian Zones in Southern California General Technical Report PSW-GTR-142 Hulton B. Wood Samuel W. James Wood, Hulton B.; James, Samuel W. 1993. Native and introduced earthworms from selected chaparral, woodland, and riparian zones in southern California. Gen. Tech. Rep. PSW-GTR142. Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture; 20 p. Relatively little is known about the earthworm fauna of southern California. Some 20 different species of earthworms were collected and identified in a survey of various southern California wildland habitats. The ecology and biology of earthworms are outlined, and the results of the survey are documented. Introduced species belonging to the Lumbricidae family were encountered most often; however, native species, primarily of genera Argilophilus and Diplocardia, are widely, distributed. Several of the natives collected are believed to be new species. Habitats for both the native and introduced species ranged from riparian zones to relatively dry chaparral sites. Preference of earthworms for certain types of plant communities began to emerge even in this somewhat limited survey: oak and grass being the most preferred, and conifers the least. Geographical separation of the two principal native genera occurs at about 34°N. Further research is needed relative to earthworm ecology, impacts on soils, ecosystem dynamics, and fire. An appendix includes all collection records by location, and vegetation and soil type. Retrieval terms: earthworms, Mediterranean ecosystems, southern California, new species, Lumbricidae, Megascolecidae, Acanthodrilinae, Ocnerodrilinae, Sparganophilidae, soil, habitat, chaparral, grassland, woodland, riparian, aquatic The Authors: Hulton B.

  • How Sensitive Are Spatial Estimates of Wilderness Recreation Values to Information About Hiking Destinations? José J
    Journal of Forest Economics, 2020, 35: 19–41 How Sensitive are Spatial Estimates of Wilderness Recreation Values to Information about Hiking Destinations? José J. Sánchez1 , Kenneth Baerenklau2 and Armando González-Cabán1* 1USDA Forest Service, Pacifc Southwest Research Station, 4955 Canyon Crest Drive, Riverside, CA 92507, USA 2School of Public Policy, University of California, Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA ABSTRACT This study uses individual survey data to investigate the impact of information about hiking destinations on estimated wilderness values in a spatial context. The data is derived from a revealed preference survey of backcountry visitors who responded to ques- tions about their recreation behavior in the San Jacinto Wilderness of southern California. Two GIS data layers are developed showing spatial representations of non-market values derived from a Kuhn- Tucker demand model, with and without destination information. Each pixel in each data layer contains an estimate of the recreation value at that location. The destination data provides more detailed information on recreation behavior that can be used to more accu- rately allocate the landscape values. Results show that including destination information produces signifcantly greater heterogeneity in parcel value estimates for large areas of the wilderness. Keywords: GIS, Kuhn-Tucker demand system model, Nonmarket valuation, Web-based survey, Viewshed analysis *Correspondence author: José J. Sánchez, [email protected].

  • Deer Springs Trailhead to Strawberry Junction to San Jacinto Peak Jeff Bozanic (714-747-2727)
    Deer Springs Trailhead to Strawberry Junction to San Jacinto Peak Jeff Bozanic (714-747-2727) Meeting Time Friday, April 21, 2013, 8:00 am at the trailhead Distance 4.1 miles each way to Strawberry Junction, 5.4 miles each way from start to top of Mt. San Jacinto. We will probably drop our backpacks and continue a bit further to gain sufficient elevation to do additional map and compass work, so a small daypack might be advised. What to Bring 10 Essentials, overnight backpacking equipment (Topographic map, sleeping bag and pad, tent (pair up as desired), chemical stove (for each team within our group), food (as discussed during our day hike), warm clothing, rain gear, boots, extra socks, 2-3 liters water, cord to hang food at night), $6 wilderness use fee, Adventure Pass for parking, HAT exams, and blue card. I will have a wilderness use permit for the group, as well as both gravity feed and ultraviolet sterilization equipment. Topographic Map: USGS 7.5’ San Jacinto Peak Weather Forecast is for daytime temperatures in the low 60s, dropping to about 30o at night. Rain and snow are not expected at this time, but may arise unexpectedly this time of year. Bring appropriate clothing and sleeping gear. Activities We will backpack in, establish camp, and eat lunch. Then we will hike to a location where we can work with maps and compass again. Afterwards we will review the exams, and discuss various gear being used by the group. We will practice bear avoidance procedures. Finally, if there is time, we may walk a little more for those who are interested.
