    EXHIBIT I Management Procedures for Archaeological and Historical Sites and Properties on State-Owned or Controlled Lands Management Procedures for Archaeological and Historical Sites and Properties on State-Owned or Controlled Properties (revised February 2007) These procedures apply to state agencies, local governments, and non-profits that manage state- owned properties. A. General Discussion Historic resources are both archaeological sites and historic structures. Per Chapter 267, Florida Statutes, ‘Historic property’ or ‘historic resource’ means any prehistoric district, site, building, object, or other real or personal property of historical, architectural, or archaeological value, and folklife resources. These properties or resources may include, but are not limited to, monuments, memorials, Indian habitations, ceremonial sites, abandoned settlements, sunken or abandoned ships, engineering works, treasure trove, artifacts, or other objects with intrinsic historical or archaeological value, or any part thereof, relating to the history, government, and culture of the state.” B. Agency Responsibilities Per State Policy relative to historic properties, state agencies of the executive branch must allow the Division of Historical Resources (Division) the opportunity to comment on any undertakings, whether these undertakings directly involve the state agency, i.e., land management responsibilities, or the state agency has indirect jurisdiction, i.e. permitting authority, grants, etc. No state funds should be expended on the undertaking until the Division has the opportunity to review and comment on the project, permit, grant, etc. State agencies shall preserve the historic resources which are owned or controlled by the agency. Regarding proposed demolition or substantial alterations of historic properties, consultation with the Division must occur, and alternatives to demolition must be considered.

  • Notes on Virginia Butterflies, with Two New State Records!
    144 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY NOTES ON VIRGINIA BUTTERFLIES, WITH TWO NEW STATE RECORDS! CHARLES V. COVELL, JR. Deparbnent of Biology, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky 40208 AND GERALD B. STRALEY Botany Department, POlter Hall, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio 45701 In 1951 Austin and Leila Clark published The Butterflies of Virginia. This work crowned 20 years of avid collecting and observation in the Old Dominion by the Clarks and their colleagues, and brought together all the records and knowledge about the Virginia butterfly fauna up to that time. According to the nomenclature used by the Clarks, a total of 154 species and subspecies (144 species) was recorded as having been collected in Virginia. Keys, diagnostic features, range, variation, occurrence, season, and interesting discussions were given for the butter­ flies and a complete bibliography of literature on Virginia butterflies rounded out the work. Since the appearance of Clark & Clark (1951) very little has been published to add to our knowledge of the Virginia butterfly fauna. Covell ( 1962) added Satyrium kingi (Klots & Clench) to the State list and Straley (1969) recorded Thymelicus lineola (Ochsenheimer) for the first time from the State. Nomenclature and arrangement of species were brought into line with dos Passos (1964), the present standard for North American Rhopalocera classification, by Covell (1967). The latter list also included the first record of Megathymus yuccae (Boisduval & Le Conte) for Virginia. In this paper we include two more first records for the State-Problema bulenta (Boisduval & Le Conte) and Satyrium caryaevorus (McDun­ nough). In accordance with the dos Passos arrangement, plus recent changes in the nomenclature of Lethe, 158 species and subspecies (149 species) of butterflies are now known to have been taken in Virginia.

  • September 2019 Hello Fellow SCAN Members!
    September 2019 Hello Fellow SCAN Members! We had a good number of folks make the long drive up to the corner of the state to participate in our August exploration of the Walhalla Fish Hatchery area. Kathy Boyle Lee Morris Sharon Yomtob Gregg Ross Paul Kalbach Todd Johnston Marsha Hamlin Kim McManus Chris Hill Bob Hamlin Charlie Williams Jan Ciegler Mandy Johnson T he day was just about perfect , with temperatures in the 80ies. The sky was overcast so it didn’t get too hot but it never rained on us. There had been a bit o f rain in the previous days, so the trail wasn’t dusty and the plants were all !"#$% & '(()* We started off by investigating the fish hatchery itself. The Civilian Conservation Corps teamed up with the Works Progress Administration to build the state’s only trout hatchery in the 1930s. The first trout was released in 1937. Today, the hatchery releases over 200,000 trout a year into rivers in Greenville, Oconee, and Pickens counties. We contributed by feeding the fish with some of the provided pellets. After our quick jaunt around the trout pools, we headed out to the Ellicott Rock Wilderness. The East Fork Trail along the East Fork Chattooga River was well-maintained and easy to follow, once we found the trailhead! There were lots of flowering Green-headed Coneflower and Lobelia to add splashes of color to the green foliage. I saw lots of snails and slugs. The salamander count was pretty high as well. Photos clockwise from upper left: Desmognathus sp, Cutleaf Coneflower, Charlie Williams documenting a blue fungus, an unidentified fungus, Lace-winged Roadside Skipper on Lobelia The East Fork Chattooga River was flowing nicely.

  • Notes on the Butterflies of North Carolina, 27Th Approximation
    BUTTERFLIES OF NORTH CAROLINA Twenty-seventh Approximation Compiled by Harry E. LeGrand, Jr. Graphics by Thomas E. Howard, Jr. March 2020 The enclosed material is an accounting of the species of butterflies of North Carolina, updated annually for the past 26 years. It is not considered to be a “publication”. It is intended to be a guide or “handbook” for butterfly watchers and others interested in butterflies, as there is, as yet, no published book on the butterflies of North Carolina. The county maps for each species represent a mix of specimens, photographs, and unconfirmed sight records. We have taken an unpublished set of county distribution maps for each species in the Carolinas, compiled by Jeff Nekola and Paul Opler in the 1980's, and added records from the past 26 years from many sources, mainly sight records, such that the reader cannot tell which county records refer to specimens or to sightings only. They include records known to the NC Natural Heritage Program and the NC Division of Parks and Recreation (DPR) through the end of 2019. The maps are certainly not complete. However, they should give the reader a general feel for the range of a species in the Carolinas. The vast majority of the over 196,995 records (from North Carolina) were entered by me (from e-mails and other correspondence) on computer from 1995-2019, and the remaining several thousand records were entered by DPR biologists into their agency's natural resources database. Tom Howard has formatted the butterfly data into the county dot maps and flight charts portrayed in the pdf version of this approximation.

Fothergill, K. 1* and A. Vaughn2 1Conservation Seeding and Restoration, Inc. 506 Center St. West, Kimberly, ID 83341 2 Department of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City MO 65101 *Current Address: University of Missouri Delta Research Center, PO Box 160, Portageville, MO. 63873 [email protected] Received: 9-XI-2009 Accepted: 11-XI-2009 Introduction Butterflies are charismatic conservation taxa for reasons of public interest (Pyle 1984, Fox et al. 2006), their role as bioindicators (Hammond and McCorkle 1984, New 1990, Thomas et al. 2004), pollination services (Ehrlich 2003), and prey for other species (Guppy and Shepard 2001). The US endangered species list (USFWS 2009) contains 26 butterflies and two moths—not because moths are in less need of conservation, but because public concern does not extend to what are often cryptic and nocturnal species. The foundation of insect conservation is a basic understanding of species occurrence, distribution, density, biology, and public outreach. Caterpillars are often limited to a single host plant, but adult butterflies utilize a wide variety of plants as nectar sources. For many holometabolous insects, the quality and availability of nutrient resources during the adult stage correlates with fecundity, egg weight, and longevity (Boggs 1997, Mevi- Schütz and Erhardt 2002, O'Brien et al. 2004). Nectar, a primary nutrient source for adult Lepidoptera, varies by plant species in both its carbohydrate and constituent components which can affect fecundity (Romeis and Wäckers 2002).

  • SCAN June 2021 Newsletter
    June 2021 Hello SCAN members! The now-annual trek to the Francis Marion National Forest over Memorial Day weekend was another great success! Campers and day-trippers found plenty of places to explore across Berkeley and Charleston Counties. We concentrated our efforts on Washo Reserve on Saturday. The weather was nice and hot on Friday and Saturday, with sunny skies and highs in the 90ies. Rain moved in Saturday night and cooled everything down to the low 80ies for Sunday and Monday. Washo Reserve attendees included: Alison Smith Hal Giles Kim McManus Sharleen Johnson Cynthia Giles Jerry Bright Lee Morris Sharon Watson Dave Schuetrum Joe Long Marcus Sizemore Fred Martin Kathy Boyle Michael Crawford FMNF explorers also included: Eddie Hade Jeff Holmes Paul Kalbach Tess Moody Greg Ross Mandy Johnson Sharon Johnson Ty Hade Ian Deery Parker Gibbons Stephen Crotts Jackie Holmes Patrick Hade Stephen Prior Throughout the weekend, groups traveled the dirt roads of the Francis Marion National Forest, looking for snakes, toads, turtles, birds, and anything else that caught their fancy. Highlights included finding a beautiful Corn Snake, two Pygmy Rattlesnakes, a crayfish, and lots of Yellow-crowned Night Herons. The Blue Flag Irises were blooming. Thistle plants ranged from budding to fully blooming to almost done, depending on which road we explored. Prothonotary Warblers and Northern Parulas competed for our attention. The Chuck Will’s Widows held nightly singing contests to the amusement and frustration of the tent campers. L to R: Prothonotary Warbler, Pygmy Rattlesnake, Eastern Tiger Swallowtail L to R: exploring Hell Hole Road; Paul Kalbach, Lee Morris and Michael Crawford documenting a turtle; White-tailed Deer On Saturday, we explored Washo Preserve in the Santee Coastal Reserve mostly on foot, with a few folks taking advantage of the vehicle-accessible roads.
