A trail through the town site tells the story of Berlin and its mine. Ichthyosaurs (pronounced “ick-thee-o- sores”) were ancient marine reptiles that swam in a warm ocean covering central Nevada 225 million years ago. Remains of these giant marine vertebrates are on display at the park’s Fossil House, and these official state fossils are a primary attraction for visitors from throughout the world. The park is east of Gabbs via State route 844. Sand Mountain outside Fallon .

    United States Department of Agriculture Mistletoes of North Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station American Conifers General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-98 September 2002 Canadian Forest Service Department of Natural Resources Canada Sanidad Forestal SEMARNAT Mexico Abstract _________________________________________________________ Geils, Brian W.; Cibrián Tovar, Jose; Moody, Benjamin, tech. coords. 2002. Mistletoes of North American Conifers. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS–GTR–98. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 123 p. Mistletoes of the families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae are the most important vascular plant parasites of conifers in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Species of the genera Psittacanthus, Phoradendron, and Arceuthobium cause the greatest economic and ecological impacts. These shrubby, aerial parasites produce either showy or cryptic flowers; they are dispersed by birds or explosive fruits. Mistletoes are obligate parasites, dependent on their host for water, nutrients, and some or most of their carbohydrates. Pathogenic effects on the host include deformation of the infected stem, growth loss, increased susceptibility to other disease agents or insects, and reduced longevity. The presence of mistletoe plants, and the brooms and tree mortality caused by them, have significant ecological and economic effects in heavily infested forest stands and recreation areas. These effects may be either beneficial or detrimental depending on management objectives. Assessment concepts and procedures are available. Biological, chemical, and cultural control methods exist and are being developed to better manage mistletoe populations for resource protection and production. Keywords: leafy mistletoe, true mistletoe, dwarf mistletoe, forest pathology, life history, silviculture, forest management Technical Coordinators_______________________________ Brian W. Geils is a Research Plant Pathologist with the Rocky Mountain Research Station in Flagstaff, AZ.

  • Renewable Energy in the National Park Service
    RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INTRODUCTION The National Park Service is the steward of some of the world’s finest natural and cultural resources and is regarded by many people as the premier resource conservation agency in the United States if not the world. The mission of the National Park Service is clearly defined in the organic act of 1916. to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein, and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such a manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. This strong mandate and policy direction has always emphasized protecting and conserving this country’s cultural and natural resources while providing the visiting public with opportunities to learn about these resources. When the National Park Service celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1991, it charted a course for how it would accomplish its mission into the next century. The resulting vision document titled National Parks for the 21st Century: The Vail Agenda, provides strategic objectives and directions for the future management of the National Park Service. Incorporating sustainability and sustainable design was recommended in The Vail Agenda as one method of meeting challenges that currently face the National Park Service. The Park Service defines sustainable design as a design that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Many people feel this definition bears a striking resemblance to the organic act – the founding legislation for the National Park Service.

  • Comment on Recommended Wilderness!
    Comment on Recommended Wilderness! A primer for writing your own comments to the Forest Service OVERVIEW The Salmon-Challis National Forest is the largest forest in the state, and contains some of its wildest remaining unroaded areas, such as the Lost River Range, Pioneer Mountains, and Lemhi Range. Forest planning is the process through which the Forest Service determines which areas ​ ​ have the highest and best wilderness value and thus should be considered by Congress for future conservation. The Forest Service would like to know if you think that any specific areas on ​ the Salmon-Challis should be recommended for formal wilderness protection. Federally ​ ​ designated wilderness remains the gold standard for protecting wild places on our public lands! HOW YOU CAN HELP: SPEAK UP TODAY! If you have 5 minutes... Use the webmap commenting tool to write a quick comment linked to a particular area, or write a ​ ​ general comment in support of recommended wilderness through the ICL Take Action center. ​ ​ If you have 15 minutes... Write multiple comments through the webmap tool or a longer comment through the Take Action ​ ​ ​ page where you share a meaningful experience you’ve had in the wilderness evaluation areas. ​ ​ ​ If you have 30 minutes... Write a more detailed comment that shares personal stories and touches upon several areas under consideration for recommended wilderness. Submit via email ([email protected]). ​ ​ COMMENT WRITING TIPS ● Make it personal. Personal stories are more powerful because they show that you have a ​ tangible connection to these places. Draw upon your own experiences to express why certain places are important to you and why they should be recommended as wilderness.

Sacramento Pass separates the range into two main parts, the northern and the southern Snake Range (fig. 1). The Kious Spring quadrangle, Nevada, and the adjacent Garrison quadrangle, Utah-Nevada, cover part of the eastern flank of the southern Snake Range. The Kious Spring quadrangle is one of six 7.5' quadrangles covering the Great Basin National Park (fig. 1). The Great Basin National Park was established to help preserve the unique geology, human history, and plant and animal communities that characterize this part of the Great Basin region.

    VOLUMES 59 TO 73 Index The Alpine Journal 1953-68 Compiled by D. F. o. Dangar SBN 9°°523 04- 2 The Alpine Club, 74- South Audley Street, London, WI Y 5FF Preface The present volume of the Index to the Alpine Journal, the fourth in the series, carries the Index from 1953 (Volume 59) to 1968 (Volume 73), the last year before the change of the Journal into a single annual volume. The proposal for this continuation of the consolidated Index was made in late 1968, when the Committee invited Mr D. F. O. Dangar to undertake it. His willingness to do this in addition to the heavy burden of the Assistant Editor- ship of the Alpine Journal itself, and the speed with which he completed the vast amount of work involved, are very greatly appreciated; and the Alpine Club has recognised the outstanding contribution which he has made to the objects of the Club, through his work both on the Alpine Journal and on suc- cessive volumes of the Index, by electing him to Honorary Membership. The thanks of the Club are also due to Mrs Sarah Hollis for her work on the typescript. Charles Evans President May I970 Foreword This Index has been compiled on the same basis as the previous volume, but, to save space, the writers of obituaries and reviews have not been indexed. In addition to portraits, illustrations that have been indexed are, in general, those of single mountains or mountain ranges which are likely to be of geo- graphical interest. Pictures of pitches, or small sections of a climb, high camps and similar subjects have not been indexed: although of contemporary interest, it is felt that such illustrations, which usually in any case are referred to in the associated articles, can be omitted without serious detriment to the value of the Index.
