Whether you are new to the wilderness or an experienced backcountry traveler, this school has much to offer. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to travel safely in the backcountry. We will give you the opportunity to learn what kind of gear to carry, how to travel on different types of terrain, how to navigate with a map and compass, and how to balance group dynamics. At the end of the course, you will apply what you have learned to plan a graduation hike with your group. You will apply all skills using safe practices and in an open group environment. We have an outstanding group of volunteer instructors who have stepped up to help you with these topics and challenges. They have a wealth of knowledge, and they look forward to sharing that with you. Please ask questions. Please share your experiences with us, too, as we are excited to learn from you as well. I wish you good luck and a wonderful experience with Wilderness Trekking School.

Shearer Madelyn M. Kempf Abstract Shearer, Raymond C.; Kempf, Madelyn M. 1999. Coram Experimental Forest: 50 years of research in a western larch forest. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-37. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 66 p. This publication will enrich public understanding about the important contributions to science made at this and other outdoor laboratories. Coram, and other long-range research sites, provide scientific knowledge to assist resource professionals with the development of sound land management principles. This knowledge ensures healthy, sustainable, and productive ecosystems while meeting social and economic needs. Major research at Coram includes the regeneration of young forests and the interaction of flora, fauna, and water to a wide range of forest treatments. Ongoing studies include: • cone and seed development and dispersal • natural and artificial regeneration after harvest cuttings • effects of stand culture treatment on forest development • insect and disease interactions • effects of the amount of wood harvest on site productivity • influence of silvicultural practices on watershed, esthetics, and wildlife values The Coram Experimental Forest is used cooperatively by Federal, university, and private scientists. About 340 ha of the forest are designated as the Coram Research Natural Area where virgin conditions are permanently maintained for research and monitoring. Coram, designated a Biosphere Reserve in 1976, is part of an international network that is devoted to the conservation of nature and scientific research in the service of humans.

  • Teakettle Mountain
    Chapter 34 Teakettle Mountain Teakettle Mountain, the southern tip of the Whitefish Range, became a symbol of the Anaconda Aluminum Co.’s fluoride problems by the late 1960s. Looming over Bad Rock Canyon, where a million tourists funneled through every summer on their way from the Flathead Valley to Glacier National Park’s western entrance, the low mountain’s lack of trees contrasted perfectly with green of Columbia Mountain, the northern tip of the Swan Range sitting on the other side of the canyon. Before new air pollution control technology reined in the smelter’s emissions, the haze of white smoke and dust that hung over the plant didn’t quite hide Teakettle Mountain from the passersby, but it did explain things for many locals – “The Company” had killed off the trees just like it had with its copper smelter in Anaconda. Teakettle’s story, however, is a bit more complicated, but what couldn’t be denied by the late 1960s was that the expansion of the aluminum smelter from two potlines and four rooms to five potlines and 10 rooms had tipped the balance – daily fluoride emissions had reached the point where they were killing trees and other vegetation and harming wildlife in National Forest lands and Glacier Park. High mountains bordering western Montana’s valleys tend to shield the lowlands from winds and often trap smoke and fog in weather inversions – when hotter air can’t rise because it is covered with a blanket of colder air. The Flathead Valley, at 3,037 feet, is surrounded on three sides by the Swan, Mission, Flathead, Whitefish and Lewis mountain ranges, which reach 5,000 to 7,000 feet in elevation.

  • High Country Climbs Peaks
    HighHig Countryh Country Cl iClimbsmbs The San Juan Mountains surrounding Telluride are among Colorado’s most beautiful and historic peaks. This chapter records some of the Telluride region’s most classic alpine rock routes. Warning: These mountain routes are serious undertakings that should only be attempted by skilled, experienced climbs. Numerous hazards—loose rock, severe lightning storms, hard snow and ice and high altitudes—will most likely be encountered. Come Prepared: An ice axe and crampons are almost always necessary for the approach, climb or descent from these mountains. Afternoon storms are very common in the summertime, dress accordingly. Loose rock is everpre- sent, wearing a helmet should be considered. Rating Mountain Routes: Most routes in this section are rated based on the traditional Sierra Club system. Class 1 Hiking on a trail or easy cross-country Class 2 Easy scrambling using handholds Class 3 More difficult and exposed scrambling, a fall could be serious Class 4 Very exposed scrambling, a rope may be used for belaying or short-roping, a fall would be serious Class 5 Difficult rockclimbing where a rope and protection are used Route Descriptions: The routes recorded here are mostly long scrambles with countless variations possible. Detailed route descriptions are not pro- vided; good routefinding skills are therefore required. Routes described are for early to mid-summer conditions. The Climbing Season: Climbers visit these mountains all year, but the main climbing season runs from June through September. Late spring through early summer is the best time, but mid-summer is the most popular. Less snow and more loose rock can be expected in late summer.

  • Many Individuals Deserve My Thanks and Gratitude, Especially, My Wife
    375 Acknowledgments Many individuals deserve my thanks and gratitude, especially, my wife, partner and colleague Pat, who consistently managed to see the bright side through thick and thin. Special recognition is due Dr. Sid Frissell, chairman of my graduate committee, and later, Dean, UM School of Forestry, my other committee members, and subsequently my colleagues at UM: Drs. James Flabeck (Plant Ecology), James Lowe (Forest Entomology), Phillip Wright (Ornithology), and my fifth committee member Curt Halvorson (USFS Wildlife Biologist). School of Forestry Deans Arnold Bolle and Robert Wambach encouraged my graduate work and my application for a faculty position. ing my tenure at the Sch°ol of Forestry, Dr. W. Leslie Pengelly, UM Professor of Wildlife Management, was my mentor. He was a persistent advocate of Aldo Leopold's land ethic. Les was characteristically outspoken; his comments were incisive and insightful His depth of knowledge in natural history and literature helped him create persuasive viewpoints He set high ethical standards for himself, his students, and his associates. Dr. James IJabeck, Professor of Plant Ecology, exhibited a deep and abiding appreciation for GNP’s landscapes and particularly its flora. I am grateful for his invaluable moral support during my conflict with Superintendent Briggle. Jim was never shy about publicly criticizing NPS decisions that he believed were inconsistent with honest and ecologically sound management. He wrote many excellent opinion piecesMissoulian in the and authored numerous scientific journal articles on plant ecology, and the effects of wildfire. Journalist and conservation writers Dale Burk and Michael Frome gave us written media support throughout our ordeal.
