    THE STATE of BIODIVERSITY in PENNSYLVANIA in 2002 Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership

    BIODIVERSITY IN PENNSYLVANIA PENNSYLVANIA BIODIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP THE STATE OF BIODIVERSITY IN PENNSYLVANIA IN 2002 Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership The Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership is a broad-based, public-private partnership created to promote the conservation of native species and their habitats. PBP is unique in bringing together – as equal partners – organizations and individuals with diverse interests and backgrounds. PBP members represent conservation and environmental organizations, government agencies, business and industry, scientists and academic institutions, sportsmen, and private landowners. For the first time in Pennsylvania, under the leadership of the Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership, there is a comprehensive and collaborative effort to address the lack of a statewide biodiversity conservation plan.

  • Where to Go Camping

    Where to Go Camping

    There was a statement in an older version of the Boy Scout Handbook that said: “Have you ever dreamed of hiking the wilderness trails that were worn down under moccasins hundreds of years ago? Do you hear in your imagination the almost soundless dip, dip of Indian canoe paddles or the ring of the axe of an early pioneer hewing a home out of the American wilderness? Have you followed with you mind’s eye the covered wagon on the trek across our continent? Yes, it’s fun to be a Boy Scout! It’s fun to go hiking and camping with your best friends…..to swim, to dive, to paddle a canoe, to wield the axe…..to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who led the way through the wilderness…..to stare into the glowing embers of the campfire and dream of the wonders of the lift that is in store for you…” This is the heart of Scouting, but we don’t always know the best place to go on these outings. How better can the Order of the Arrow fulfill a part of their responsibility of service to others than to make this camping guide available? A great guide to the best camping, boating, hiking and sightseeing both in and out of the Council, but, of course, one of the best places to do real camping is at one of the Council’s reservations. Richard A. Henson or Rodney Scout Reservation, both long term camping during the summer months, or weekends through the year, affords a maximum of program.

Gann: Top: mahogany mistletoe (Phoradendron rubrum), a tropical species that grows only on Key Largo, and one of South Florida’s rarest species. Mahogany poachers and habitat loss in the 1970s brought this species to near extinction in South Florida. Bottom: fuzzywuzzy airplant (Tillandsia pruinosa), a tropical epiphyte that grows in several conservation areas in and around the Big Cypress Swamp. This and other rare epiphytes are threatened by poaching, hydrological change, and exotic pest plant invasions. Funding for Rare Plants of South Florida was provided by The Elizabeth Ordway Dunn Foundation, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and the Steve Arrowsmith Fund. Major funding for the Floristic Inventory of South Florida, the research program upon which this manual is based, was provided by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Steve Arrowsmith Fund. Nemastylis floridana Small Celestial Lily South Florida Status: Critically imperiled. One occurrence in five conservation areas (Dupuis Reserve, J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area, Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area, Royal Palm Beach Pines Natural Area, & Pal-Mar). Taxonomy: Monocotyledon; Iridaceae. Habit: Perennial terrestrial herb. Distribution: Endemic to Florida. Wunderlin (1998) reports it as occasional in Florida from Flagler County south to Broward County.

    Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Prepared by: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with Assistance from Conservation Partners, June 30th, 2008 06/19/2008 page 2 of 93 Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Acknowledgments Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan is a roadmap of conservation actions needed to ensure our wildlife and natural communities will be with us in the future. The original plan provides an immense volume of data useful to help guide conservation decisions. All of the individuals acknowledged for their work compiling the plan have a continuous appreciation from the state of Wisconsin for their commitment to SGCN. Implementing the conservation actions is a priority for the state of Wisconsin. To put forward a strategy for implementation, there was a need to develop a process for priority decision-making, narrowing the list of actions to a more manageable number, and identifying opportunity areas to best apply conservation actions. A subset of the Department’s ecologists and conservation scientists were assigned the task of developing the implementation strategy. Their dedicated commitment and tireless efforts for wildlife species and natural community conservation led this document.

Code CH. 78 Proposed Rulemaking: Environmental Protection Performance Standards at Oil and Gas Well Sites. The NPS appreciates the proactive steps the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is taking in revising these regulations to protect the significant and vital natural resources in the Commonwealth. This effort will result in necessary and important environmental protections for state and federally managed or administered lands, held in trust for the public, and the resources and ecosystem services they provide that are counted upon by present and future generations for essential benefits such as clean water. The NPS offers the following comments which are intended to promote understanding ofthe diverse and nationally significant resources within NPS units and affiliated areas in Pennsylvania, to clarify and strengthen the proposed regulations to aid in a more efficient and effective permitting process, to promote open and early communication between the NPS and PA state regulatory agencies, and to promote the protection of NPS resources.
