    ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK Leave No Trace Outdoor Skills & Ethics Leave No Trace Outdoor Skills and Ethics ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics November, 2004 Leave No Trace — Isle Royale National Park Skills & Ethics 1 Wildland Ethics "Ethical and moral questions and how we answer them may determine whether primal scenes will continue to be a source of joy and comfort to future generations. The decisions are ours and we have to search our minds and souls for the right answers..." "The real significance of wilderness is a cultural matter. It is far more than hunting, fishing, hiking, camping or canoeing; it has to do with the human spirit." —Sigurd F. Olson ...and so we visit wild places to discover ourselves, to let our spirits run with the graceful canoe and journey through the beckoning forests. The wilderness is good for us. It enables us to discover who we really are, and to explore who we are really meant to be. It is the nature of wild places that gives us the space to slow the pace of our lives, to becalm the storms of everyday life, to gain perspective on the things we truly value. Sigurd Olson needed wild places...they gave much to him, as they do to us—and, so, we should be eager to give back. Our favorite places— those whose forests have welcomed us, whose lakes have refreshed us, whose sunsets have inspired awe—are not ours alone. They are a treasured resource, there for the good of all who seek their own true spirit through solitude and adventure.

  • MAPPING and CHARACTERIZING a RELICT LACUSTRINE DELTA in CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN by Christopher B. Connallon a THESIS Submitted T
    MAPPING AND CHARACTERIZING A RELICT LACUSTRINE DELTA IN CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN By Christopher B. Connallon A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography – Master of Science 2015 ABSTRACT MAPPING AND CHARACTERIZING A RELICT LACUSTRINE DELTA IN CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN By Christopher B. Connallon This research focuses on, mapping and characterizing the Chippewa River delta - a sandy, relict delta of Glacial Lake Saginaw in central Lower Michigan. The delta was first identified in a GIS, using digital soil data, as the sandy soils of the delta stand in contrast to the loamier soils of the lake plain. I determined the textural properties of the delta sediment from 142 parent material samples at ≈1.5 m depth. The data were analyzed in a GIS to identify textural trends across the delta. Data from 3276 water well logs across the delta, and from 185 sites within two-storied soils on the delta margin, were used to estimate the thickness of delta sands and to refine the delta's boundary. The delta heads near Mount Pleasant, expanding east, onto the Lake Saginaw plain. It is ≈18 km wide and ≈38 km long and comprised almost entirely of sandy sediment. As expected, delta sands generally thin away from the head, where sediments are ≈4-7m thick. In the eastern, lower portion of the delta, sediments are considerably thinner (≈<1-2m). The texturally coarsest parts of the delta are generally coincident with former shorezones. The thick, upper delta portion is generally coincident with the relict shorelines of Lakes Saginaw and Arkona (≈17.1k to ≈ 16k years BP), whereas most of the thin, distal, lower delta is generally associated with Lake Warren (≈15k years BP).

  • North Ridge Scenic Byway Geology
    GUIDE TO THE NORTH RIDGE SCENIC BYWAY GEOLOGY LANDFORMS The North Ridge Scenic Byway corridor lies in the Erie Lake Plain landform of the Central Lowlands Physiographic Province of the United States (Fenneman 1938; Brockman 2002). The Lake Plain consists of wide expanses of level or nearly level land interrupted only by sandy ridges that are remnants of glacial-lake beaches and by river valleys carved into Paleozoic bedrock. With the exception of the sandy ridges, much of the Lake Plain in Avon and Sheffeld was a dense swamp forest prior to settlement. The North Ridge Scenic Byway follows the northernmost ancient beach ridge as it traverses Sheffeld and Avon at an elevation ranging from 675 to 690 feet above sea level, some 105 to 120 feet above modern Lake Erie. Topography of Sheffeld and Avon Townships as surveyed in 1901, showing North Ridge near the center of the map (courtesy of U.S. Geological Survey, Oberlin, Ohio Quadrangle 1903). 2 GEOLOGY FORMATION OF NORTH RIDGE Approximately 18,000 years ago, the last The chronology of lake stages in the Lake continental glacier blanketed northern Ohio as Erie basin relates a fascinating story of glacial it pushed down from the north to its maximum action, movements of the earth’s crust and southern thrust. The ice sheet reached as far erosion by waves to form the body of water south as Cincinnati, Ohio, then it began to we see today. The story begins nearly 15,000 melt back. As the glacier paused in its retreat, years ago as the last glacier [known as the piles of rock and clay debris [known as end Wisconsinan ice sheet] temporarily halted to moraines] were built up at the ice margins.

  • Women's Hygiene
    WOMEN'S SPECIFIC ISSUES As Leave No Trace Master Educators and Trainers, it is inevitable that questions and concerns about human biology will come in to play. Many workshop or course participants may feel comfortable talking about human bodily functions, while others may find it much more difficult to discuss in a group setting. This is especially evident when discussing women’s specific aspects of Leave No Trace. Although there is some information within the Leave No Trace literature that deals with feminine hygiene, it has become clear that having more general knowledge about how to deal with these issues is crucial to many Master Educators and Trainers. Paul Stonehouse, Associate Professor of Outdoor Leadership at Simpson University, has been teaching Leave No Trace Trainer Courses for the past several years, after being exposed to Leave No Trace in 2002 through a NOLS mountaineering course. Since then, Paul has taken both a literal and philosophical approach to Leave No Trace, which are clearly imprinted on his view of the importance of women’s specific Leave No Trace information. Paul sees understanding women’s hygiene in backcountry and wilderness settings to be critical in a threefold way as it relates to: 1) the health of the individual, 2) the immediate environmental impact that can result, and 3) the relationship of the individual to wild places. Aspect one, the health of the individual, stems from a personal experience where on a longer trip, a woman began her second period in the middle of her cycle from physical exertion. “It became a medical concern at the time.
