  • Sampling of Great Year Round Attractions Found in Redding and Shasta Cascade
    SAMPLING OF GREAT YEAR ROUND ATTRACTIONS FOUND IN REDDING AND SHASTA CASCADE Any Adventure, Any Day awaits those who visit Redding and Shasta Cascade. Whether your idea of a great vacation means extreme outdoor adventure, family-friendly activities, or cultural excursions, Redding and Shasta Cascade are filled with year-round unexpected pleasures. Land lovers can explore Redding through its expansive and nationally-recognized trails system, where visitors walk, hike, bike, or horseback ride their way to adventure. If you prefer playing in the water or floating on top, Redding’s access to several rivers and lakes allows for boating, paddle-boarding, rafting, swimming, and fishing on the Sacramento River, or at nearby Whiskeytown and Shasta Lakes. There are so many great things to do and see all year long in this breathtaking region, you’ll soon understand why visitors come back again and again. SUNDIAL BRIDGE This one-of-a-kind, glass decked pedestrian bridge serves as an incredible entrance to Redding’s Sacramento River National Recreation Trail. World-renowned Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava, conceived the unique design of the bridge. It is the first bridge of its kind in the United States, and is the tallest working sundial in the world! The massive 217 foot pylon leans due north and functions as the gnomon of a sundial, casting its giant shadow on a garden- bordered dial plate at the bridge’s north end. The suspension, cable-stayed design of the bridge does not have any footings in the river, out of respect for the nearby salmon-spawning habitat. Receptions under the bridge are available.

  • Effects of Prescribed Fire on Drought Resistance and Recovery
    EFFECTS OF PRESCRIBED FIRE ON DROUGHT RESISTANCE AND RECOVERY IN MIXED CONIFER FORESTS OF LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA By Zachary J. Wenderott A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Natural Resources: Forestry, Watershed, and Wildland Sciences Committee Membership Dr. Rosemary Sherriff, Committee Chair Dr. Phil van Mantgem, Committee Member Dr. Harold Zald, Committee Member Dr. Erin Kelly, Graduate Coordinator May 2021 ABSTRACT EFFECTS OF PRESCRIBED FIRE ON DROUGHT RESISTANCE AND RECOVERY IN MIXED CONIFER FORESTS OF LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA Zachary J. Wenderott Forests throughout much of the western United States are experiencing increasing climatic variability, often resulting in decreased forest productivity and elevated likelihood of tree mortality. Severe drought, such California’s recent 2012-2015 drought, are projected to increase in intensity, frequency, and severity throughout much of this region in coming years. Forest management has long relied on prescribed fire and mechanical thinning to reduce fuel loads and ameliorate potential fire hazards. These treatments may also have the ability to reduce stand density, alleviate competitive pressures, and allow residual trees access to critical resources during periods of extreme stress. Utilizing a long-term National Park Service fire monitoring program allowed us to analyze the effects of prescribed fire treatments on radial growth response in a mixed- conifer forest of northern California. Tree core samples were collected and analyzed from 136 yellow pine (ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi)) and 136 white fir (Abies concolor) trees within Lassen Volcanic National Park.

  • DRAFT GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN and ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Lassen Volcanic National Park August, 2000
    DRAFT GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Lassen Volcanic National Park August, 2000 This document presents a proposed plan and three alternatives for the management and use of Lassen Volcanic National Park over the next 15 years. Alternative A: No Action, assumes that physical facilities would remain largely unchanged and that staffing and operational funding would remain constant over the planning period. Alternative B: Resource Preservation & Basic Visitor Service, provides a program for preserving, and where necessary, restoring significant park resources. It includes significant staffing and funding increases for the park’s resource management functions, restores key elements of the park’s infrastructure, provides for restoration of several specific sites with natural system conflicts, establishes a standards-based management zoning system, and proposes designation of approximately 25,000 acres as part of the National Wilderness System. The plan also includes program increases and visitor facility improvements to provide for quality basic visitor service. Alternative C: Resource Protection and Enhanced Visitor Experience. This alternative is the proposed General Management Plan for Lassen Volcanic National Park. It includes all the features of Alternative B, and provides enhancement to visitor experience by making more facilities available during winter months, and increasing interpretive services, facilities, and information. Alternative D: Resource Protection and Expanded Visitor Opportunities, includes all of the features of Alternative C and in addition, provides for expansion of family and group campgrounds at several locations. It also expands winter access at the north entrance by plowing the park road an additional nine miles to the Devastated Area, and keeping one loop of the campground open for winter camping.
