Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Management Tool: Managing Recreational Uses April 5, 2019

    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Management Tool: Managing Recreational Uses April 5, 2019 Purpose This document serves as a tool to promote consistent management of recreational uses on the congressionally-designated Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT). This is a living document that will be reviewed annually to determine if updates are needed based on lessons learned from implementation. This document contains: 1. Guiding Principles for managing recreational uses on the CDT, 2. A table of considerations for managing authorized special uses on the CDT (Table 1), and 3. A table to assist line officers when making decisions on whether to allow mechanized use, such as bicycle use, on a newly constructed or relocated CDT segment1 (Table 2). Scope of this Document This document generally applies to CDT segments where mechanized use and/or recreation special uses are not expressly prohibited by law or policy.2 This document does not create new policy, rather, it clarifies CDT management within existing law and policy, and is consistent with the core values outlined in the Forest Service’s National Strategy for a Sustainable Trail System (Trails Strategy).3 Background National Scenic Trails are to be “so located as to provide for maximum outdoor recreation potential and for the conservation and enjoyment of the nationally significant scenic, historic, natural, or cultural qualities of the areas through which such trails may pass” (16 U.S.C. 1242(a)(2)). 4 The CDT’s nature and purposes are “to provide high-quality, scenic and primitive hiking and horseback riding opportunities and to conserve the natural, historic and cultural resources along the CDNST corridor” (2009 CDT Comprehensive Plan).
  • Chapter 5 Resource Preservation

    Chapter 5 Resource Preservation

    CHAPTER 5 RESOURCE PRESERVATION INTRODUCTION The citizens of Roanoke County have a strong desire to preserve the quality of the county’s natural, scenic and historic resources. The county’s natural features - including mountains, forests, productive soil, streams, fresh air and wildlife - serve to distinguish the greater Roanoke Valley as a uniquely attractive urban center. Roanoke County citizens recognize that the beauty of the existing natural environment attracts not only businesses and residents to our community but also tourists and sports enthusiasts. County citizens believe that it is essential to maintain the high quality of Roanoke County’s environment while accommodating the pressures for future growth and development. OPEN SPACE During the past twenty-five years, Roanoke County has experienced steady growth. From a population of 53,800 in 1970 that reflects the results of several annexations, the population grew 54 percent to 83,100 in 1995. Future population projections indicate that by the year 2010 the County population will be approximately 87,400. This growth in population and the accompanying shift in demographics - such as an aging population - are changing the traditional rural landscape of the County. New residents require more housing, schools, shopping centers, office buildings, roads, water and sewer facilities and parks and recreational services. The rural landscape is gradually becoming urbanized as a result of this growth. What was once an orchard is now a residential subdivision or a shopping center. What was once a hardwood forest is now an office building or condominium. Between 1982 and 1992 the number of farms in Roanoke County decreased 11 percent from 306 to 272.

    FROM VULNERABILITY TO VIOLENCE: GANGS AND ‘HOMICIDE BOOMS’ IN TRINIDAD AND BELIZE1 Adam Baird2 Cite as: Baird, A. (2020) From Vulnerability to Violence: Gangs and ‘homicide booms’ in Trinidad and Belize, Urban Crime. An international Journal (forthcoming) Abstract At the end of the 1990s gang driven homicide rates in Belize and Trinidad boomed and today remain amongst the highest in the world. That these homicide booms occurred as drug transhipments increased, makes casual connections between drugs and violence an intuitive and frequent assumption. This article argues that the role that drugs transhipment plays in sparking transitions to violence is often assumed and overstated, and alone is a weak predictor of violence. The comparative research presented finds that historic, chronic vulnerability in the poor neighbourhoods of eastern Port of Spain and southside Belize City played a defining role in the rise of street gangs; whilst increased lethality is directly attributable to inflows of firearms, which had different transhipment routes and political economies to drugs when homicide booms occurred. Ominously, once a violent street culture is established, it is resilient, guns stay, gangs evolve, and homicide levels persist. Keywords: Gangs, Trinidad, Belize, homicide, drug transhipment, drug trafficking 1 Based on two research projects: Breaking Bad: How transnational drug trafficking creates violent masculinities in local Caribbean communities in Port of Spain. Funded by the ‘Partnership for Conflict, Crime, & Security Research’ program, Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), and; From transnational crime to local insecurity: How drug-trafficking penetrates communities and creates violent masculinities in Belize.

    The Len Foote Hike Inn in Dawsonville

    Georgia’s 2019 CLEAN WATER HEROES The Len Foote Hike Inn GEORGIA’S MOUNTAIN STREAMS Mountain-top Lodge Spreads Message of Sustainability INTRODUCTION: From its opening in 1998, the Len Foote Hike Inn was intended to serve as sustainability and environmental education showplace for Georgia’s State Parks. More than 20 years and some 200,000 visitors later, as the children of the Inn’s first visitors bring their children to the mountain getaway, that showplace is paying dividends—for state parks and the future of the state. Through LEN FOOTE sustainability projects ranging from composting toilets to solar power and HIKE INN educational programs that introduce guests to practices they can use in their own homes to lessen their environmental footprint, The Hike Inn spreads the gospel of sustainability. But, Inn visitors have to work to hear the gospel. The only way to stay at this 20-room mountain-top lodge is to “hike in” on a five- mile trail from Amicalola Falls State Park in Dawson County. THE WATER BODY: Situated high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Len Foote Hike Inn sits on a ridge between Cochrans and Nimblewill creeks, pristine trout streams that feed the Etowah River which supplies about 68 million gallons of drinking water to metro Atlanta communites daily—about 13 percent of the region’s water. The construction and design of the Len Foote Hike Inn and the sustainability practices implemented at the backcountry lodge protect these sensitive mountain streams and contribute to cleaner, higher quality water for downstream users. THE CLEAN: From its initial design and construction in the late 1990s to the Inn’s current efforts to expand its sustainability practices, The Hike Inn has served as a model for smart construction and innovative sustainability practices.

    Guidelines for a Quality Trail Experience

    Guidelines for a Quality Trail Experience mountain bike trail guidelines January 2017 About BLM The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) may best be described as a small agency with a big mission: to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. It administers more public land – over 245 million surface acres – than any other federal agency in the United States. Most of this land is located in the 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also manages 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM’s multiple-use mission, set forth in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, mandates that we manage public land resources for a variety of uses, such as energy development, livestock grazing, recreation, and timber harvesting, while protecting a wide array of natural, cultural, and historical resources, many of which are found in the BLM’s 27 million-acre National Landscape Conservation System. The conservation system includes 221 wilderness areas totaling 8.7 million acres, as well as 16 national monuments comprising 4.8 million acres. IMBA IMBA was founded in 1988 by a group of California mountain bike clubs concerned about the closure of trails to cyclists.
