The Hammersley: Can You Dig Spring 2014 The Hammersley: Can You Dig It? By Bill Boyd The Susquehannock Trail System was established in 1967 Digging side hill trail by linking up a network of existing trails, woods roads, and old railroad grades with short stretches of new construc- tion. Most of the sections linked together are fire trails built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. In 1967 the CCC trails were about thirty years old, and still in moderately good condition. The only significant recrea- tional activity in the forest in those days was hunting, and most of the trails saw little use. The deer population was very high during those decades, and their annual browsing kept woody brush from invading the trail. The trails incorporated into the STS have been repeatedly cleared of fallen debris, and the foot traffic has increased many fold. (But it’s still not very much.) And by now there have been nearly eight decades of annual leaf fall and Photo by Tom Fitzgerald hillside erosion. On top of that, the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s efforts to reduce the size of the deer herd We plan to walk in on the Bunnell Ridge Trail, which cuts to within the carrying capacity of the habitat, has been about a mile and a half off the distance to the work area. successful enough that woody brush is springing up in But that trail needs some clearing, too, and we hope to be many areas of the forest, and invading the trail. able to do that as soon as the weather allows. Then when the ground has dried suitably, we'll go in and tackle the Most of the maintenance of the STS has been by small Hammersley Trail. We intend to trundle most of the tools, groups of volunteers who go out for one day, and return food, and camping equipment down into the work area on home or back to their camp in the evening. That has the carpet cart and one or more deer carts. worked well on most of the trail, but not in the Hammers- ley Wild Area.

  • 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.

  • For Memorable Fishing and Camping, Try Kettle Creek at Ole Bull State Park by David A
    Pennsylvania The Keystone State's Offieial Fishing and Boating Magazine Just before the July meeting of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission, a flurry of correspondence fell on us related to some proposed changes in Lake Erie fishing regulations for 1982. Most of these seem to have been inspired by a venomous column in the Erie Times News, which used such expressions as, "the silent arts of corruption," and "the sacrilegious hands of the very people entrusted to protect our natural resources." We were likened to Aaron Burr, having come forward "sword in hand, to slash away at the very rigging that holds the flag aloft." Such criticism is unjust and reflects a fundamental misreading of our proposal. The Commission's well-established objectives for the new Lake Erie commercial regulations, effective in January of 1982, were to reduce the commercial catch of yellow perch, increase the size and age of the yellow perch caught by commercial interests, and stabilize the harvest of walleye. To meet these objectives, the Commission imposed several new restrictions, including a quota on both yellow perch and walleye. Thus, 1982 became the base year for data concerning the effects of the commercial regulations. For 1983, we are proposing changes designed in a large measure to give us the flexibility we need to manage the resource and meet our objectives in light of the actual data, which is being gathered and assessed in 1982. The proposed changes for 1983 are very minor in scope compared to the severe restrictions placed on the commercial interests for 1982. Under our law, regulations must bear a rational and substantial relationship to the purposes for which they are established.

  • Ways to Celebrate the Quasiquicentennial
    HAPPY 125TH ANNIVERSARY PENNSYLVANIA STATE PARKS AND FORESTS! HERE’SHERE’S HOWHOW YOUYOU CANCAN CELEBRATECELEBRATE This booklet provides ideas for activities you can take within Pennsylvania state parks and forests to celebrate the 125-year anniversary. Select one or more actions, check the box, journal your thoughts, take photos, and have some fun in the process! A special gift is available to anyone who completes three or more of the activities listed in this booklet. Just take a photo of your activities and send it to [email protected].. SPEND 125 HOURS IN 2018 EXPLORING STATE PARKS AND FORESTS With 121 state parks covering nearly 300,000 acres and 20 forest districts spanning 2.2 million acres across Pennsylvania, there are endless opportunities to get outdoors and explore! What you do there is not as important as simply being there, as time spent outdoors has many health benefits. Currently, Pennsylvania ranks as the 17th most obese state in the country. According to the Penn State University study, “Obesity Threatens America’s Future,” by 2020 57 percent of Pennsylvanians will be obese and related health care costs will surpass $13.5 billion. The study goes on to show that reducing the average body mass index in Pennsylvania by only five percent could mean an $8 billion-dollar savings in health care costs in the next 10 years and $24 billion in the next 20 years. There is strong evidence that when people have access to parks and forests they exercise more, leading to a reduction in obesity. The National Institutes of Health have shown that being more fit leads to a reduction in time spent being sick, which has benefits to productivity and quality of life.
