  • 14. Mount Rogers Planning Region Local Action Plan Summary
    14. MOUNT ROGERS PLANNING REGION LOCAL ACTION PLAN SUMMARY WILDLIFE ACTION PLAN AND LOCAL SUMMARIES OVERVIEW Wildlife Action Plan Virginia is fortunate to contain a wide variety of natural resources and landscapes that provide Virginians with a range of benefits, services, and economic opportunities. Natural resource conservation in Virginia, as in most states, is implemented by government agencies, non- governmental organizations, private institutions, academic institutions, and private citizens. These groups work to enhance the quality of life within the Commonwealth by conserving Virginia’s air, land, water, and wildlife. Adequate funding and human capital needed to manage and conserve these valuable resources are not always available. In 2005, Virginia’s conservation community first came together to maximize the benefits of their actions and created the state’s first Wildlife Action Plan (Action Plan). It was written to prioritize and focus conservation efforts to prevent species from declining to the point where they become threatened or endangered (DGIF 2005). The 2015 Action Plan is an update of the original Plan. The Action Plan must address eight specific elements mandated by Congress. They are: 1. Information on the distribution and abundance of species of wildlife, including low and declining populations as the state fish and wildlife agency deems appropriate, that are indicative of the diversity and health of the state’s wildlife; and 2. Descriptions of locations and relative condition of key habitats and community types essential to conservation of species identified in (1); and 3. Descriptions of problems which may adversely affect species identified in (1) or their habitats, and priority research and survey efforts needed to identify factors which may assist in restoration and improved conservation of these species and habitats; and 4.

As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Depart­ ment of the Interior has responsibility for most of our na­ tionally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water re­ sources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the en­ vironmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our mineral resources and works to assure that their develop­ ment is in the best interests ofall our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reser­ vation ·communities and for people who live in Island Ter­ ritories under United States administration. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN for the Protection, Management, Development and Use of the r APPALACHIAN NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL , \ Approved Director, National Park Service I Approved l Chief, USDA Forest Service AUG l O1981 L Date [ [. Prepared by: Appalachian Trail Project Office National Park Service L Harpers Ferry, West Virginia 25425 September 1981 ( [ r The Appalachian Trail is a way, continuous from Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia, for travel on foot through the wild, scenic, wooded, pastoral, and culturally significant lands r of the Appalachian Mountains. It is a means of sojourning among these lands, such that the visitors may experience them by their own unaided efforts. In practice, the Trail is usually a simple footpath, purposeful in direction and concept, favoring the heights of land, and located for minimum reliance on construction for protecting the resource, The body of the Trail is provided by the lands it traverses, and its soul is in the living stewardship of the volunteers and workers of the Appalachian Trail community.

  • The National Parks: Index 1916-2016
    Official Index of the National Park Service The National Parks: Index 1916-2016 Revised to Include the Actions of the 114th Congress ending December 31, 2015 Produced by the Office of Communications and the Office of Legislative and Congressional Affairs National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Washington, D.C. 1 FOREWORD 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service—a defining moment to reflect on and celebrate our ac­ complishments as we embark on a new century of stewardship and public engagement. America has changed dramatically since the birth of the Na­ tional Park Service in 1916. The agency’s roots lie in the parks’ majestic, often isolated natural wonders and in places that exemplify our cultural heritage, but our reach now extends to places difficult to imagine 100 years ago — urban centers, rural landscapes, deep oceans, and night skies. In our second century, we recommit to our core mission, pro­ viding exemplary stewardship and public enjoyment of the very special places in our care. We will also continue to support communities through community assistance programs and to create jobs, strengthen local economies, and support ecosystem services. We will use the collective power of the parks, our historic preservation programs, and community assistance pro­ grams to protect, preserve, and share the places that tell the American story in the next century. Of course, all of this cannot be done without the efforts of our dedicated employees, volunteers, and partners. I express my sincere thanks to each and every one of them for their support and passion for the NPS mission entrusted to us by the Ameri­ can people.

The Forest Service knows that numerous citizens and citizens groups have sought the protection of this area for many, many years. See attachment containing a sample of letters of support for protection of the area. Numerous citizens and citizens groups have opposed timber sales when proposed in the Wilson Mountain Virginia mountain treasure area. In the most recent timber proposal in this area, the Bannister Branch timber sale, the Forest Service agreed to drop the proposed logging in the mountain treasure area.

This is modeledmap a distributiononbased current and is data nota substitute for field inventory. based Contact © Elizabeth Byers (West Virginia Division of Natural Resources) Description: A high elevation conifer forest dominated by red spruce and either Fraser fir (in very southwestern Virginia) or balsam fir (to the north). Mountain ash, yellow birch, hemlock, and red oak are locally common. Mosses, ferns, and forbs make up a typically lush ground cover; in many examples a dense shrub layer develops in which hobblebush and mountain cranberry, and occasionally evergreen rhododendrons, are prevalent. This is the characteristic forest of the cold, wet, windy highest peaks in the central and southern Appalachians.

When we look up and down the ocean fronts of America, we find that everywhere they are passing behind the fences of private ownership. The people can no longer get to the ocean. When we have reached the point that a nation of 125 million people cannot set foot upon the thousands of miles of beaches that border the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, except by permission of those who monopolize the ocean front, then I say it is the prerogative and the duty of the Federal and State Governments to step in and acquire, not a swimming beach here and there, but solid blocks of ocean front hundreds of miles in length.
