  • The National Park System
    January 2009 Parks and Recreation in the United States The National Park System Margaret Walls BACKGROUNDER 1616 P St. NW Washington, DC 20036 202-328-5000 www.rff.org Resources for the Future Walls Parks and Recreation in the United States: The National Park System Margaret Walls∗ Introduction The National Park Service, a bureau within the U.S. Department of the Interior, is responsible for managing 391 sites—including national monuments, national recreation areas, national rivers, national parks, various types of historic sites, and other categories of protected lands—that cover 84 million acres. Some of the sites, such as Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon, are viewed as iconic symbols of America. But the National Park Service also manages a number of small historical sites, military parks, scenic parkways, the National Mall in Washington, DC, and a variety of other protected locations. In this backgrounder, we provide a brief history of the Park Service, show trends in land acreage managed by the bureau and visitation at National Park Service sites over time, show funding trends, and present the challenges and issues facing the Park Service today. History National parks were created before there was a National Park Service. President Ulysses S. Grant first set aside land for a “public park” in 1872 with the founding of Yellowstone. Yosemite, General Grant (now part of Kings Canyon), and Sequoia National Parks in California were created in 1890, and nine years later Mount Rainier National Park was set aside in Washington. With passage of the Antiquities Act in 1906, the President was granted authority to declare historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and sites of scientific interest as national monuments.

The bridge and its plaza receive millions of visitors annually. Situated at the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, the Presidio has been part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area since 1994. For more than 200 years, the Presidio area was used as a military base, first by Spain in the late 1700s, briefly by Mexico in the 1800s, and by the United States from 1846 onward. Golden Gate National Recreation Area is widely known for its rich natural resources as well. The park helps protect parts of 19 separate ecosystems and numerous watersheds. It is also home to more than 1,250 plant and animal species, including many sensitive, rare, threatened, and endangered Golden Gate National Recreation Area is one of the largest species such as the mission blue butterfly, northern spotted urban parks in the world.

  • Watershed Science
    Watershed Science This lesson is part of an ongoing monthly series that encourages young adults to learn about the environment through hands-on activities. These activities are recommended for ages 8+ and are designed using materials that most households have on-hand. Where does water come from? Why is it important? What is a watershed? This month, we will explore how water moves on Earth, what a watershed is and why it’s important, and find out what watershed area we live in! Did you know that the water we use today is the same water the dinosaurs used! So how does it move around the earth? Let's find out by making our own model of the water cycle! Model Water Cycle Materials: ❏ 1-quart sized freezer bag ❏ 1 permanent marker ❏ 1 cup of water ❏ Tape *recommend using clear packing tape ❏ Blue Food Coloring *recommended but not necessary ❏ Nature Journal (Click here for activity sheet) Directions: 1. Using a permanent marker, draw a water scene on the outside of the bag including water/waves at the bottom of the bag and clouds and the sun at the top of the bag. 2. Fill the measuring cup with 1 cup of water and add 2 drops of blue food coloring. Carefully stir in food coloring. 3. Slowly pour the water into the freezer bag and seal the bag completely. 4. Tape bag to a sunny window using tape. Choose a window that gets the most sunlight during the day. 5. Check on the bag during the day/several times a day and observe the changes.

  • Effects of the Glen Canyon Dam on Colorado River Temperature Dynamics
    Effects of the Glen Canyon Dam on Colorado River Temperature Dynamics GEL 230 – Ecogeomorphology University of California, Davis Derek Roberts March 2nd, 2016 Abstract: At the upstream end of the Grand Canyon, the Glen Canyon Dam has changed the Colorado River from a run-of-the-river flow to a deep, summer-stratified reservoir. This change in flow regime significantly alters the temperature regime of the Colorado River. Seasonal temperature variation, once ranging from near to almost , is now limited to 7 . The lack of warm summer temperatures has prevented spawning of endangered 0℃ 30℃ humpback chub in the Colorado River. Implementation of a temperature control device, to − 14℃ allow for warmer summer releases to mitigate negative temperature effects on endangered fish, was considered by the federal government. Ultimately, this proposal was put on indefinite hold by the Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service due to concerns of cost and unintended ecological consequences. The low-variability of the current dam-induced Colorado River temperature regime will continue into the foreseeable future. Agencies are reviewing humpback chub conservation efforts outside of temperature control. Keywords: Colorado River, Grand Canyon, Glen Canyon Dam, thermal dynamics 1.0 Introduction Temperature in natural water bodies is a primary driver of both ecological and physical processes. Freshwater plant and animal metabolisms are heavily affected by temperature (Coulter 2014). Furthermore, the thermal structure of a water body has significant impacts on the physical processes that drive ecosystem function (Hodges et al 2000); fluid dynamics drive transport of nutrients, oxygen, and heat. Human action, often the introduction of dams or industrial cooling systems, can alter the natural thermal regimes of rivers and lakes leading to reverberating impacts throughout associated ecosystems.
