Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy
Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025. -

Knowing your ancestry is a link to your past. 2 INTRODUCTION After completing "Windows Into Our Past, Volume 1", little did I realize that I would begin volume 2 in such short order. The jumping off point for this volume was the collected genealogy of my sister-in-law, Elda Janna Cowne. Her parents had put together some of the family history and I have endeavored to "flesh it out" a bit. We have expanded on what information that they had gathered and tried to prove out family stories. Once again I have searched and picked the brains of many individuals. My special thanks to Elizabeth Robinson Cowne, grandmother of Elda Janna Cowne, and her husband William Augustine Cowne who were delightfully entertaining and informative as I completed this volume. We have found during our search the common ancestor that ties volume one to volume two -- Edward I "Longshanks". It is truly interesting to find these round about relationships. On Elda's fathers' side of the family she is related to Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, George Washington, and Robert E. -

Sterling pub lished four years ago by Walter Gruelle; I also obtained many valuable facts from Butler's and Collins' His tory of Kentucky. -Thomas Calk allowed me to in spect some ancient papers filled with important facts. A sketch in the Courier Journal a year ago supplied me with some pleasing suggestions. The destruction by fire of the early records of the town and county, has deprived me of much valuable material. I feel this sketch is very imperfect and almost unworthy of publication. It may, however, provoke investigation and develop new facts. I trust, at least, it will serve to preserve in the memories of the coming generations what has been gathered up concerning the history of our early days.-R. R. -
Cultural Landscapes Inventory: Piney River, Shenandoah National Park
National Park Service Cultural Landscapes Inventory 1999 Revised 2006 Piney River Shenandoah National Park Table of Contents Inventory Unit Summary & Site Plan Concurrence Status Geographic Information and Location Map Management Information National Register Information Chronology & Physical History Analysis & Evaluation of Integrity Condition Treatment Bibliography & Supplemental Information Piney River Shenandoah National Park Inventory Unit Summary & Site Plan Inventory Summary The Cultural Landscapes Inventory Overview: CLI General Information: Cultural Landscapes Inventory – General Information The Cultural Landscapes Inventory (CLI) is a database containing information on the historically significant landscapes within the National Park System. This evaluated inventory identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved inventory records when all required data fields are entered, the park superintendent concurs with the information, and the landscape is determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places through a consultation process or is otherwise managed as a cultural resource through a public planning process. The CLI, like the List of Classified Structures (LCS), assists the National Park Service (NPS) in its efforts to fulfill the identification and management requirements associated with Section 110(a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, National Park Service Management Policies (2001), and Director’s Order #28: Cultural Resource Management. Since launching the CLI nationwide, the NPS, in response to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), is required to report information that respond to NPS strategic plan accomplishments. Two goals are associated with the CLI: 1) increasing the number of certified cultural landscapes (1b2B); and 2) bringing certified cultural landscapes into good condition (1a7). -

A Chapter for the Canadian Beam Book) This Chapter Rewritten Apr
South / North / West Mr. and Mrs. James A. Galloway (A chapter for the Canadian Beam book) This chapter rewritten Apr. 17, 2000 This book deals with the lives and genealogy of Abraham Beam and his nephew John Beam (Rev. Martin's son). These two men, together with their wives and children, were the pioneers of our Beam/Boehm family in Canada. But, you may ask, what about others who carried the Beam name and who left Lancaster County, PA before the Canadian pioneers? And what of other Beams left behind in Lancaster? First to leave that county was the immigrant Jacob III's son John (Abraham's brother). This John and Mary, together with their family, joined a group of Mennonites led by Henry Keagy and left Lancaster about 1766. The Keagy group left John and family in Woodstock, VA and continued on to New Market, VA. In Woodstock John purchased a small house for his family and worked as a drover, taking cattle over the Shenandoah Mts. to settlements to the west. After two years he left Woodstock and again joined Henry Keagy, who by this time had taken property along Smith Creek just east of New Market, which lies in the Shenandoah Valley, a truly beautiful location. However, John was not happy in the valley and wanted to establish himself as a miller, which was his occupation in Pennsylvania. So, he took up land by patent of 90 acres for his mill site, another 179 acres at Beahm's gap, and later another 276 acres on the Blue Ridge. -
