    "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."

    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.
  • 'Gouache Painting' Materials List with Jim Minet

    'Gouache Painting' Materials List with Jim Minet

    ‘Gouache Painting’ Materials List With Jim Minet Here is my recommended list of the essential items you need for the very best watercolor experience. Brushes: Because gouache needs a slightly stiffer brush than regular watercolor, I recommend synthetic brushes. I do recommend Silver Brush short handle ‘Silver Silk 88’ brushes for gouache available at www.jerrysartarama.com and my second choice for gouache would be the short handle Silver White (by Silver Brush co) at Jerry’s or at www.dickblick.com Brush Type: A minimum of four watercolor brushes. 1. A large 1-inch flat wash brush (recommend – Silver White) 2. A medium-large ‘flat’ or ‘bright’ brush size 8 or 10 (recommend – Silver Silk 88) 3. A medium -small ‘flat’ or ‘bright’ brush size 4 or 6 (recommend- Silver Silk 88) 4. A round- brush size 4 (recommend Silver White) Paper – you can use either: • a glued block of 100 % Cotton 140 lb. cold or rough press watercolor paper, approximately 10x14 inch or larger. If it does not say ‘cotton’ then it is not. Or: • a couple large sheets of the same grade paper (this is a less expensive option that I recommend--sheets come in 22x30 inches. Cut it into 4 or 8 pieces) If you are not using a glued block, make sure to bring a drawing board to place your paper on. Any hard board, or inexpensive plastic or wood drawing board, not too large, will do, even a very firm piece of corrugated will do. Should not be too much bigger than the paper you will work on.

  • Art Hazards List

    Art Hazards List

    ART AND CRAFT MATERIALS THAT CANNOT BE PURCHASED FOR USE IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 6TH GRADE Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment – California Environmental Protection Agency September 2016 California Education Code Section 32064 prohibits schools from purchasing art or craft materials containing a toxic substance for use by students in kindergarten and grades 1-6 (K- 6). The law also requires the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to develop a list of products that schools cannot purchase for use by students in K-6. This list (attached) is intended to assist schools, school districts, and governing authorities of private schools in complying with the purchasing requirements. Purchasers must ensure that all art and craft materials to be used by students bear a statement of conformity to ASTM D-4236 (Standard Practice for Labeling Art Materials for Chronic Health Hazards), as required by federal law. Items to be used by students in K-6 must not bear acute or chronic health hazard labels. Although not required by law, avoiding art materials that bear acute or chronic health hazard labels when purchasing for grades 7-12 is a good precautionary measure. Schools are encouraged to inventory existing art and craft supplies and remove materials bearing health hazard labels from K-6th grade classrooms. For further information, please see Art and Craft Materials in Schools: Guidelines for Purchasing and Safe Use, accompanying this list or available online (see below). OEHHA compiled the attached list based on product evaluations conducted by other entities1 according to federal requirements. Other art and craft materials that can be listed are products recalled in the past five years2 (no such products are listed at this time), as well as those brought to OEHHA’s attention as bearing health hazard labels.

    Introduction to Watercolors for Field Sketching

    Introduction to Watercolors for Field Sketching By Christine Elder This handout is a rough outline to accompany the video on watercolors that you can watch on your nature sketching course page: http://christineelder.com/nature-sketching-course. You may want to print it out and add notes as you watch the video. If you have watercolors, you may want to set them up and follow along! We will cover the basics of using the medium of watercolor, especially as its use pertains to casual field sketching, plus the basic materials and techniques to use in the field as well as exercises to practice at home in order to familiarize yourself with your paints. Let’s get going! Introduction • Value the process of discovering watercolors over the product; the joy of being outside, trusting that you are indeed learning more about your subject and your art materials and techniques than may be obvious from what’s shown on the paper, the hidden rewards which will slowly reveal themselves. You aren’t aiming for a botanical illustration or being the next Audubon so release any unrealistic expectations for yourself. • Characteristics of watercolors o Akin to cats – can be frustrating, have their own mind, can’t control them, but delightful all the same! o Transparent, so they can’t be modified extensively like one can do with opaque acrylics and oils, but they’re quick, non-toxic, easy to bring into the field, and will work well layering with other media. Watercolor supplies: • Portable watercolor palette, watercolor paper or field sketchbook, Pentel aquash watercolor brush, old oil brush, mechanical pencil, permanent pen, sponge, white gel pen and white colored pencil for highlights, waxy pencil or birthday candle for resist, rag, natural objects and photographs to practice with.

Federal protection includes individuals of a listed species, habitats essential for their survival, and specific limitations on pesticide use. This publication lists endangered and threatened plant species by scientific name, common name, federal listing status, and general Georgia county name locations. Figure 1 is a map giving county locations of federally protected plant species in Georgia by identification number. This publication was developed for educational purposes and is not a regulatory document. The State of Georgia (Department of Natural Resources) maintains a com- plete list of both federal and state endangered, threatened, rare and unusual plant species for Georgia.
