TITLE Outdoor Recreation on Government Lands in Texas, An Analysis. INSTITUTION Texas A and M Univ., C llege Station. Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. REPORT NO B-1081 PUB DATE 1671 NOTE 45p. FDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Administrative Agencies; Federal Government; *Government (Administrative Body); *Land Use; Natural Resources; *Recreation; Recreational Facilities; Reports; state Government; *Statistical Data IDENTIFIERS Outdoor Recreation; Texas ABSTRACT This study represents an inventory of major government, non-urban outdoor recreation programs and facilities in Texas, as well as an indication of visitor use reported by individual agencies. The purpose of the analysis is to ialustrate the importance of outdoor recreation in Texas and the contribution of various agencies, rather than to determine the quality of recreation programs in the state. Presented first is an examination of outdoor recreation on federal government lands in Texas including those administered by the National Park Service, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, U. S. Forest Service, and U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Following this is a description of state government lands administered by the Texas Park and Wildlife Department, Texas Forest Service, and Texas River Authorities. Information is also givPn for lakes under jurisdiction of water districts, municipalities, and counties. Numerous tables provide statistics on each area regarding name, location, facility description, recreation opportunities, administering agency, acreage, and 1966 attendance. The data were obtained directly from published reports and records of agencies and generally reflect an accurate description of agency involvement in outdoor recreation. A list of references is appended. (BL) Texas Outdoor Recreation Profile, 6 Federal Government U. S. Department of Interior National Park Service, 8 Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, 12 U. S.

The Department of Recreation and Parks at Texas AgeN1 University has col- lected basic data and is maintaining files as a part of on-going research; consequently this report will be updated periodically as new data become available. Numerous individuals representing agencies on the federal, state and local levels,assistedinthisstudy.

  • 19 State Parks Could Close for Financial Reasons
    Highlights of the 2010 River Management Society and National Association of Recreation Resource Planners Symposium The River Management Society joined with the National Association of Recreation Resource Planners (NARRP) to host their biennial symposium on river management. Recognizing resource protection as a core value, the symposium explored how scientists, planners, and managers are maintaining or restoring ecosystem sustainability while providing opportunities for high quality recreation experiences on rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Participants at the symposium interacted with regional and national leaders in river conservation and recreation management through a diverse program. The symposium theme, “Bridging Conservation and Recreation” recognizes that resource professionals too often become narrowly focused in their specialties, and that effective long- term management usually requires broader cross-disciplinary solutions. The symposium provided opportunities for professionals to network and integrate their knowledge from many fields. Attendees left with renewed creativity and passion for natural resource management in watersheds. Feedback from Symposium Attendees Mary Donze, Missouri Division of State Parks “While all of the educational sessions I attended were wonderful, it was the networking that took place at the breaks and dinners that was the most valuable. It is amazing how many agencies are facing the same issues. The camaraderie that develops at the annual conference is truly inspiring. It is nice to take that home; knowing you have lots of fellow professionals to contact, when you need advice on an issue or problem. Meeting the student scholarship recipients was also a highlight of the conference. It is so gratifying to see such amazing young professionals entering the field." John Baas, Michael Brandman Associates “I enjoyed the plenary session on managing the Columbia Gorge.

  • Final Report: Lesser Prairie-Chicken Survey − Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands, 2014
    Final Report: Lesser Prairie-Chicken Survey − Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands, 2014 Project Manager: Angela Dwyer, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, 230 Cherry St., Fort Collins, CO 80521 ([email protected]) Project Director: David Hanni, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, 230 Cherry St., Fort Collins, CO 80521 ([email protected]) Introduction The Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) (LEPC) occupies grassland habitat consisting of sand sagebrush (Artemisia filifolia), sand shinnery oak (Quercus havardii) and mixed grass vegetation communities of the southern Great Plains. Since the 19th century, LEPC and the habitat upon which they depend has diminished across their historical range (Crawford and Bolen 1976, Taylor and Guthery 1980a), with recent estimates of current occupied range totaling approximately 17% of the estimated area of their historical range. Causes for this reduction in occupied range are primarily attributed to habitat loss and fragmentation (USFWS 2012). Habitat loss has been caused by conversion of native prairie to cropland (Bent 1932, Copelin 1963, Taylor and Guthery 1980) and long term fire suppression (Woodward et al. 2001) leading to tree invasion (Fuhlendorf et al. 2002). Grazing management practices would help improve habitat if managed to benefit LEPC. Heavily grazed fields that leave no residual vegetation for broods can be detrimental to LEPC (Sell 1979, Hunt and Best 2010). Habitat fragmentation has resulted from a combination of habitat loss and degradation caused by oil and gas development (Hunt 2004) and suspected effects of wind energy development (Pruett et al. 2009). The LEPC is not thought to occur in Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands (KRB) (Giesen 2003), however some parcels within the grasslands are managed for LEPC.

Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up­ wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ...........................................................................................................
