  • Wilderness Visitors and Recreation Impacts: Baseline Data Available for Twentieth Century Conditions
    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

  • 2011 Progress Report Full Version 02 12.Indd
    CALIFORNIA RECREATIONAL TRAILS PLAN Providing Vision and Direction for California Trails Tahoe Rim Trail Tahoe Rim Trail TahoeTTahhoe RRiRimm TrailTTrail Complete Progress Report 2011 California State Parks Planning Division Statewide Trails Section www.parks.ca.gov/trails/trailsplan Message from the Director Th e ability to exercise and enjoy nature in the outdoors is critical to the physical and mental health of California’s population. Trails and greenways provide the facilities for these activities. Our surveys of Californian’s recreational use patterns over the years have shown that our variety of trails, from narrow back-country trails to spacious paved multi-use facilities, provide experiences that attract more users than any other recreational facility in California. Th e increasing population and desire for trails are increasing pressures on the agencies charged with their planning, maintenance and management. As leaders in the planning and management of all types of trail systems, California State Parks is committed to assisting the state’s recreation providers by complying with its legislative mandate of recording the progress of the California Recreational Trails Plan. During the preparation of this progress report, input was received through surveys, two California Recreational Trails Committee public meetings and a session at the 2011 California Trails and Greenways Conference. Preparation of this progress Above: Director Ruth Coleman report included extensive research into the current status of the 27 California Trail Corridors, determining which of these corridors need administrative, funding or planning assistance. Research and public input regarding the Plan’s twelve Goals and their associated Action Guidelines have identifi ed both encouraging progress and areas where more attention is needed.

  • 1 Exploring the Relationship Between Bark Beetle and Drought Induced
    Maeve O. Hanafin Drought and Bark Beetle Dynamics Spring 2019 Exploring the Relationship between Bark Beetle and Drought Induced Tree Mortality in the Sierra Nevada Maeve O. Hanafin ABSTRACT From 2012- 2015 CA experienced one of the worst droughts in the state’s history leaving a lasting imprint on California's forest health. When a tree is stressed, it puts all its energy into survival, impairing defense mechanisms against insects and pathogens. As a result, trees are left vulnerable to attack from outside forces, especially bark beetles. Studies attribute 86% of large tree mortality to insects and pathogens, crediting 40% specifically to bark beetles. To understand the dynamics between bark beetles and tree mortality in the Sierra Nevada after a period of prolonged drought, I analyzed tree mortality and bark beetle presence and variation for eight sites over the Sierra Nevada. I then tested predictor variables for their significance in predicting the presence of the western pine beetle and the fir engraver beetle. Out of eight sites analyzed, five showed spatial trends of bark beetle and tree mortality dynamics. In general, in sites with higher presence of bark beetle, an increased number of dead trees occurred. The highest prediction in the landscape for beetle presence and tree mortality occurred in Yosemite Pine Forest, with 79.3% beetle presence 44.2% mortality. The most reliable predictor variable for the western pine beetle in Yosemite National Park was basal area. Higher incidences of western pine beetle occurred in sites with higher basal area. In contrast, the strongest predictor of fir engraver beetle presence was tree density (trees per hectare).

  • Salmon Creek: Eligible Wild and Scenic River
    Salmon Creek: Eligible Wild and Scenic River Salmon Creek Falls tumbling over the edge of the ecologically unique Kern Plateau. (Photo courtesy of Summitpost.com) June 12, 2017 Steve Evans, California Wilderness Coalition Phone: (916) 708-3155, Email: [email protected] Salmon Creek rises from the heart of the ecologically unique Kern Plateau on public lands in the Sequoia National Forest. From its source springs high on the slopes of Sirretta Peak, Salmon Creek flows through diverse forests, rich meadows, and rugged bedrock gorges. The creek drops more than 5,500 feet in elevation over its nearly 12-mile length, eventually tumbling over the highest waterfall south of Sequoia National Park to its confluence with the North Fork Kern River. Most of the stream is free flowing and possesses outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, and ecological values. Because of these attributes, conservationists consider Salmon Creek to be eligible for National Wild and Scenic River protection. 1 Joe Fontaine has been working to protect the wild places of the Kern Plateau and the Sequoia Forest for 60 years. He literally wrote the book on the Kern Plateau (The Kern Plateau and Other Gems of the Southern Sierra, 2009), and is the definitive expert on this wild landscape. Fontaine first started visiting the Kern Plateau in the 1950s by hiking up Salmon Creek from the North Fork Kern River to fish for golden trout. On some trips, he would backpack all the way to Big Meadow. According to Joe, “As strenuous as the hike was, the scenery was so inspiring, I never passed up the chance to hike there.” Fontaine believes that Salmon Creek meets the required characteristics of Wild and Scenic River, from its source near Sirretta Peak, flowing through Big Meadow and Horse Meadow, and then rumbling through the rocky gorge from which it tumbles over the edge of Plateau at Salmon Creek Falls.

  • The Breeding Status of the Snowy Plover in California
    WESTERN BIRDS Volume 12, Number 1, 1981 THE BREEDING STATUS OF THE SNOWY PLOVER IN CALIFORNIA GARY W. PAGE and LYNNE E. STENZEL, Editors, Point Reyes Bird Observatory, 4990 Shoreline Highway, StinsonBeach, California94970 The westernrace of the Snowy Plover (Charadriusalexandrinus nioosus) breeds on the Pacific coast from southern Washington to southern Baja California, inland in Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and along the coastsof Texas and northeasternMexico (AOU 1957). For many yearsornithologists believed that the number of Snowy Plovers breeding along the Pacific coast was decliningas developmentdestroyed suitable habitat. In May, June and July, from 1977 to 1980, Point Reyes Bird Observatory(PRBO) biologistsand volunteers conducted surveys of potential breeding habitat throughout Californiato gather informationon the distributionand abundanceof Snowy Plovers.This paper summarizesthe resultsof thosesurveys and the available data on the species'past abundanceand distribution.We attempt to define suitablebreeding habitat and to describethe effectsof human activitieson it. Detailedstudies of marked birdsundertaken by John and Jane Warriner at Pajaro Dunes on MontereyBay have been very helpfulin interpretingthe surveyresults. Their informationon migrationperiods, mid-breedingseason movements and the detection rate of birds on censuses is summarized in this paper. Detailed information on the occurrence of birds at specificsites is available in a report (Page and Stenzel 1979) on file with the California Department of Fish and Game in Sacramento. If readers have information indicatinggreater breeding numbers or know of breedingsites not mentioned here, we and the Departmentof Fishand Game encouragethem to contactus. METHODS The breedingsurvey covered the coastbetween the Golden Gate and the Oregon border in 1977, the remainder of the California coastand interior in 1978, and the ChannelIslands from 1978 to 1980.
