  • Jacks River Hiking Trail
    Jacks River Hiking Trail A little over nine miles into the Jacks River Trail, hikers encounter Jacks River Falls-an impressive 80-foot, two-tier waterfall. For hikers contemplating a walk on the Jacks River Trail, it's helpful have a little background on the Cohutta Wilderness, the location of the trail, before beginning the hike. Officially designated on January 3, 1975, the Cohutta Wilderness now encompasses 36,977 acres - 35,268 acres within Georgia and the remainder in Tennessee. The Georgia portion of the wilderness is located northeast of Chatsworth, primarily in Fannin and Murray counties. The Georgia Wilderness Bill of 1986 added 2,940 acres, all within the Chattahoochee National Forest, to the Cohutta Wilderness. This new designation extended the Cohutta to the northeast, from Dally Gap along FS 22 to the Tennessee line. Although much of this wilderness was logged earlier in the century, the forest has returned, healing the scarred land and obliterating all but the smallest traces of man's past exploitation. With continued wilderness designation and the passage of time, the forest will slowly regain much of its former magnificence. A network of fifteen trails totaling 87 miles penetrates this rugged wilderness, where elevations range from 950 to 4,200 feet. All but three of these trails lead to or follow the scenic Jacks and Conasauga Rivers, whose headwaters are protected by National Forest land in and around the wilderness. These two rivers are among the few larger streams in North Georgia that still offer quality wild-trout fishing. Tennessee's 8,082-acre Big Frog Wilderness in the Cherokee National Forest is contiguous with the Cohutta Wilderness along the Cohutta's northern border.

  • Forest Layers Diagram Forest Layers
    Forest Layers Diagram Forest Layers Wildland Fires Background Reading Wildland Fire Wildland fire is a general term describing any non-structure fire that occurs in vegetation and natural fuels. Wildland fire includes both planned and unplanned fires. A prescribed fire is a planned fire intentionally ignited by park managers to meet management objectives. A wildfire is an unplanned fire caused by lightning or other natural causes, by accidental (or arson-caused) human ignitions, or by an escaped prescribed fire. Fuel is one of the ingredients needed for a wildland fire. Fire managers define fuels as all living and dead plant material that can be ignited by a fire. Fuel characteristics strongly influence fire behavior and the resulting fire effects on ecosystems. Types of Fire Spread • Ground fires—which burn organic matter in the soil beneath surface litter and are sustained by glowing combustion. • Surface fires—which spread with a flaming front and burn leaf litter, fallen branches and other fuels located at ground level. • Crown fires—which burn through the top layer of foliage on a tree, known as the canopy or crown. Crown fires are the most intense type of fire and often the most difficult to contain. They may involve strong winds, steep slopes and a heavy fuel load to continue burning. Size and Intensity Even though fire is a fairly common occurrence, very few fires become extremely large. In the United States, 2 to 3 percent of all fires account for more than 95 percent of the total area burned annually. The blackened plots left behind by these types of large fires contribute to the image of fire as a destroyer of the natural environment.

Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

  • TAUM SAUK AREA THREATENED by HYDRO PLANT by Susan Flader
    (This article was first published in Heritage, the Newsletter of the Missouri Parks Association, August 2001) TAUM SAUK AREA THREATENED BY HYDRO PLANT by Susan Flader When state park officials selected a cover photo to illustrate their first-ever assessment of "threats to the parks" nearly a decade ago, they chose not a scene of despoliation but a symbolic representation of the best of what they were seeking to protect. It was a vista at the core of the Ozarks, looking from the state's grandest waterfall near its tallest peak across its deepest valley into the heart of Taum Sauk Mountain State Park, Missouri's then-newest public park but also its geologically oldest, wildest, most intact, and most ecologically diverse landscape. Scarcely could one imagine that the very symbol of what they were seeking to protect through their threats study, titled "Challenge of the '90s," would itself become the most seriously threatened landscape in Missouri at the dawn of the new millennium. The photo showed two forest-blanketed, time-gentled igneous knobs in the heart of the St. Francois Mountains, on the left Smoke Hill, recently acquired by the state, and on the right Church Mountain, leased to the Department of Natural Resources for park trail development by Union Electric Company of St. Louis (now AmerenUE). But on June 8, the Ameren Development Company, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation, filed an application for a preliminary permit with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the Church Mountain Pumped Storage Project. It would consist of a 130-acre reservoir ringed by a 12,350-foot-long, 90-foot-high dam on the top of Church Mountain, a lower reservoir of 400 acres formed by a 1,900-foot-long, 100-foot high dam flooding several miles of Taum Sauk Creek, which has been designated a State Outstanding Resource Water, and associated tunnels, powerhouse, transmission lines, roads, and related facilities.

Navigation Leaving OIMB, our first stop is Bastendorff Beach, a short drive over Coos Head. Oregon Beach dynamics The Oregon Coast is highly active, with one of the most energetic wave climates (Figure 1‐2) in the world, and all of that energy pushes a lot of sand around. We all learned about longshore drift in Geo 101, but the pattern in Oregon is fundamentally different. Oregon’s coast is broken into a series of “pocket beach” littoral cells, long stretches of dune or bluff‐backed beach bounded by rocky headlands that extend into water that is deep enough to block sediment transport around the ends of the headlands. There are also large differences in the direction and energy of summer versus winter waves (Figure 1‐3); highly energetic winter waves erode the beaches and move sand offshore to form sand bars, while gentler summer waves restore the sand to the beaches. Within each cell, sand also moves north or south depending on the prevailing wave directions and in response to climate events such as El Nino’s. Here at Bastendorf beach we see evidence for this intra‐cell movement in the form of dramatic accretion of the beach since the construction of the south jetty in the early 1900’s. The beach rapidly accreted (Figure 1‐3) until about 1967, and has reached some state of equilibrium since then.
