    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.

  • Rail-Trail Development: a Best Practices Report
    Rail-Trail Development: A Best Practices Report ANALYZING RAIL-TRAIL BEST PRACTICES TO INFORM THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PALOUSE-CASCADES TRAIL SCJ ALLIANCE | 429 E. Sprague Spokane, WA 99202 Rail-Trails Best Practices Report Purpose of this Report This report focuses on the issues surrounding the proposed development of the Palouse to Cascades Rail-Trail. A discussion of these issues is presented through an analysis of rail-trail development with a focus on addressing the specific issues that have been expressed in the process of moving forward with the Palouse to Cascades Trail. Rail-trail examples where similar issues have been addressed are explored, and this analysis leads to some general findings which are used to provide recommendations for addressing the issues that have come up in the discussion surrounding the Palouse to Cascades Trail. Figure 1: A rail-trail trestle. Photo Source: 26 Inch Slicks Blog About the Palouse to Cascades Rail-Trail Development The Palouse to Cascades Trail (formerly the Iron Horse/John Wayne Pioneer Trail) is a 285-mile long rail trail spanning eastern and central Washington State from the Idaho border to the Cascade Mountains (See Figure 2). Most of the route utilizes former rail bed, acquired by the state in 1980. Since then, Washington State Parks has developed most of the trail west of the Columbia River, but east of the Columbia the trail remains largely undeveloped. Surface conditions are typically leftover rail ballast, with occasional gaps and detours associated with missing, damaged or unsafe trestles, or in a few cases, private property crossings.1 Eyeing the success of similar trails – including that of the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes from Plummer Idaho to the Montana border– the State of Washington is seeking to upgrade eastern portions of the trail including surfacing and improved access.

  • Plan for the Roadside Environment - 59
    Nebraska Department of Roads PLAN FOR THE ROADSIDE ENVIRONMENT - 59 - - 60 - Description – Region “D” Environmental Components • Climate ○ Plant hardiness zone - This region is primarily within Zone 4b of the USDA Plant Materials Hardiness Zone Map with a range of annual minimum temperatures between -20 to -25 degrees Fahrenheit. ○ Annual rainfall – Considered semi-arid, participation ranges from 23 inches per year in the east portion of the region to less than 17 inches in the west. • Landform – A fragile sandy rangeland of undulating fields of grass-stabilized sand dunes. Dunes generally align in a northwesterly to southeasterly direction. In the eastern edge, the dunes transition to flat sandy plains with wet meadows and marshes through Rock, Holt, and Wheeler Counties. A distinct lake area exists in the north central portion of the region where the high water table allows nearly 2,000 scattered small shallow lakes. The western end of this Sandhills region contains a second area of small scattered lakes that are moderate to highly alkaline. The alkaline lakes have limited influence from ground water and are in an area referred to as the “closed basin area” generally devoid of streams. • General soil types – Region “D” consists of sand with very little organic matter. These soils are fragile and highly susceptible to wind erosion. Water erosion is of less concern except where water is concentrated in steep ditches. Clay lenses that pond water are found in the western portion of this region. • Hydrology High infiltration rates, up to 10 feet per day, allow rainwater and snowmelt to percolate rapidly downward.

The 85,635-acre ranch is mainly comprised of native sandhills rangeland with the unique feature of being divided on the southern half of the ranch by Blue Creek, a tributary of the North Platte River. Blue Creek is the dividing line between the true sandhills region of Nebraska to the north and the clay soils and hard grass prairie system to the south. Blue Creek History Blue Creek ranch was the site of “The Battle of Blue Water” the first major conflict between the U.S. Military and the Sioux Indians from 1854 to 1856. The US Military was led by General Harney and attacked a band of Sioux Indians led by Little Thunder. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.” Blue Creek is also the site of a naturally occurring spring called “Gusher Springs.” Gusher Springs is believed to be the second largest spring in Nebraska with a measured flow of 3,750 gal./min.

Box 30370 • Lincoln, NE 68503-0370 • Phone 402-471-0641 October 14, 2015 Dear Outdoor Recreation Enthusiasts: Nebraskans have a deep-seated passion for the outdoors, which is evident in our great parks and outdoor recreation resources. We value our natural environment and park areas because they help sustain an excellent quality of life. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is pleased to present the 2016-2020 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan: A Guide to an Active Nebraska (SCORP). This plan provides the supply and demand of recreation in the state, issues Nebraska faces providing outdoor recreation, and recommendations on how to improve our state’s recreation infrastructure. SCORP is a guidebook for outdoor recreation providers looking to expand or improve their recreation infrastructure. Great care was taken to receive public opinion to understand the needs and desires of the public when providing for future outdoor recreation. Analysis on the current state of outdoor recreation and how it can be improved was completed as a part of this plan. Parks and outdoor recreation areas play a major role in promoting public health, livable communities, economic vitality, and conservation of our natural resources. Nebraska’s outdoor recreation resources are invaluable assets to our public and those visiting the state, and we are pleased to provide recommendations on how to protect these resources for future generations.
