No. 4 ^ANGLER/ APRIL, 1943 LIKE WILDLIFE-LIKE MAN Great emergencies, like great emotions, create similar reactions in Wildlife and Man. There should be one fundamental difference—Man's ability to control those reactions by virtue of his superior mental powers and his consciousness of morality, justice and the fitness of things. There should be, but often Man fails to use those mental powers or heed his consciousness after the great emergency is over. Instead, like Wildlife, he gives way to animal instincts. Thus it becomes every one for himself and the devil take the hindmost. In many respects, that is what happened after the first world war with the fathers of those fighting the war today. Among Wildlife, a great emergency filled with overwhelming danger, such as a forest fire or a raging flood, creates fear; a fear that obliterates all love or hate or hunger or competition among the species. In their hour of need, Wildlife huddles together, seeking safety and pro­ m tection in each other's company. The Lion and the Mouse, the Wolf and the Lamb turn to each other in mutual tolerance. Like Wildlife; like Man! In the first world war and this war, Man was drawn together by a great fear of impending danger. The mighty and the weak, the rich and the poor, nations of different faiths and ways of life, men of all colors, races and creeds. All huddled together, seeking safety and protection in each other's company. The Father then, the Son now. Like Father; like Son. Some years ago, to study fish and their reactions, I built a big pool and divided it into many sections of different depths and sizes, using stones for partitions. In it I placed many kinds and sizes of fish. Very soon each fish, by virtue of its abilities, had claimed a section as its home. It fought any fish which came near. It was an individualist and isolationist. Often I created a great emergency by draining the pool. A.s the danger of lowering waters threatened, the fish lost their isolationism and sense of ownership. They all gathered together in mutual fear and swam around and around in the lowering water until at last they were all confined in the deepest pool. There was no fighting—only a huddling together so long as lower­ ing waters created fear. Then I would close the outlet and start filling the pool again. The danger would be past. For a few moments, the fish seemed to be breathing hard, recovering from their fear. All at once, the biggest fish would turn on those near it, as though bitterly blaming them for the danger. The next in size would turn on those near them and so on, in turn, until the whole pool became a boiling turmoil of crazily fighting fish. As the waters rose in the pool, the mightiest fish drove all others from the best spots and once more became an individualist, lord of all it could grab out of the chaos. By the time the pool was filled again each fish once more had become master of its own little section. The emergency had brought no change in their world. Isolationism and self sufficiency were again supreme. Because they did not have brain power, the same thing happened over and over again with each emergency. After the first world war, the end of the great emergency for the Father of today's Son, it was—Like Wildlife; like Man! After this war, will the Son make use of his superior mental powers and his consciousness of morality, justice and the fitness of things? Or will it be—Like Father; like Son? Let us hope and pray for morality and justice and the fitness of things!

  • HIGH ALLEGHENY PLATEAU ECOREGIONAL PLAN: FIRST ITERATION Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean
    HIGH ALLEGHENY PLATEAU ECOREGIONAL PLAN: FIRST ITERATION Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean The High Allegheny Plan is a first iteration, a scientific assessment of the ecoregion. As part of the planning process, other aspects of the plan will be developed in future iterations, along with updates to the ecological assessment itself. These include fuller evaluations of threats to the ecoregion, constraints on conservation activities, and implementation strategies. CSS is now developing a standard template for ecoregional plans, which we have applied to the HAL first iteration draft report, distributed in 2002. Some of the HAL results have been edited or updated for this version. Click on the navigation pane to browse the report sections. What is the purpose of the report template? The purpose of creating a standard template for ecoregional plans in the Northeast is twofold: — to compile concise descriptions of methodologies developed and used for ecoregional assessment in the Northeast. These descriptions are meant to meet the needs of planning team members who need authoritative text to include in future plan documents, of science staff who need to respond to questions of methodology, and of program and state directors looking for material for general audience publications. — to create a modular resource whose pieces can be selected, incorporated in various formats, linked to in other documents, and updated easily. How does the template work? Methods are separated from results in this format, and the bulk of our work has gone into the standard methods sections. We have tried to make each methods section stand alone. Every section includes its own citation on the first page.

  • 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.
