  • Notes for Cyclists Mountain Bikes on the BNT
    Notes for Cyclists Mountain Bikes on the BNT Please note: This information is for those intending to take mountain bikes out on the Bicentennial National Trail and offers suggestions for cyclists to avoid those sections of the Trail unsuitable for bikes. The information provided here is of a general nature and should be read in conjunction with the Guidebooks, Guidebook updates and road maps. Cyclists should always check back on the website for the most recent information on Trail conditions. A friendly reminder that all Trail users are self reliant trekkers responsible for all your needs and the decisions you make. Just like the Trail, this information sheet is an ongoing work in progress - users of these notes, and the Trail, are invited to offer their own opinions and suggestions for updating this information. The best parts of the National Trail for walkers and trekkers with animals are the rugged sections through wilderness. The Trail has been designed to provide a balance between these rugged remote areas and easier more accessible parts along quiet roads and tracks through the countryside. For cyclists, unless you are especially masochistic, you will find it necessary to detour around the particularly difficult sections. Bypassing sections of the BNT unsuitable for bikes usually involves public roads, mostly quiet back roads, so landowner permission for access is not a problem. As the detours are generally close to the BNT, the spirit of the BNT concept is not lost. However, this has left some cyclists with the impression that the Bicentennial National Trail is much less challenging than it really is.

    March 9, 2021 Brenda Mallory Chair White House Council on Environmental Quality 730 Jackson Pl NW Washington, DC 20506 Via email Re: Utility disconnection moratorium for Tennessee Valley Authority Dear Ms. Mallory, Please find attached petitions signed by over 21,500 people from Tennessee and beyond urging the Tennessee Valley Authority to institute a utility shutoff moratorium throughout its service area. As the letters attached state, “Without electricity, people won’t be able to shelter in homes that are a safe temperature, support remote schooling for their kids, or refrigerate their medicines. It is a decision that literally has life-or-death consequences.” For several months throughout the pandemic, advocates have urged TVA to institute such a moratorium, but to no avail. We now call upon President Biden to act, by issuing an Executive Order directing TVA to keep people’s power on-- the only responsible option during a pandemic. Please also find attached a memo outlining the President’s authority to issue an Executive Order to this effect. Sincerely, Tom Cormons Executive Director Appalachian Voices Erich Pica President Friends of the Earth Cc: Gina McCarthy, White House National Security Advisor Representative Peter DeFazio, Chair, House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Senator Tom Carper, Chair, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Representative Frank Pallone, Chair, House Committee on Energy and Commerce Tennessee Congressional delegation Attachments: Executive Actions for Immediate COVID relief and economic recovery via the Tennessee Valley Authority, Appalachian Voices Appalachian Voices petition Appalachia Voices petition signatories Friends of the Earth petition Friends of the Earth petition signatories EXECUTIVE ACTIONS FOR IMMEDIATE COVID RELIEF AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY VIA THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY The Tennessee Valley Authority was established in the 1930s by a federal mandate to bring flood relief, economic stimulus and improved quality of life to the people of the Tennessee Valley.

    Tricketts Arch 605 Jaunter Road JAUNTER NSW 2787 Ph (02) 6335 5247 M 0478 225 932 E-mail [email protected] ABN 65 663 446 045 Dear Fellow Conservationist, Thirty years ago in November 1982 my husband Peter Dykes finalised the purchase of a rural bush block containing a significant karst area which held the feature known as Tricketts Arch. Peter is a keen caver, speleologist and conservationist but above all he wanted to preserve the area and its unique karst and biodiversity values. At the time Peter was one of the first cavers in Australia to actually own a karst area. Since then my family have grown to love and appreciate the property we call home. As an Aboriginal family we have endeavoured to keep our dream of preserving and conserving the property’s cultural, karst and biodiversity values. With that in mind we have constantly sort ways to help us maintain and enhance the property’s cultural and natural values. Several years ago our family began working with staff from the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) on developing plans and strategies to conserve and enhance the unique cultural and natural values present on our property. The process has been long and very involved but we persevered and were extremely pleased to announce in November 2011 that it has all finally come to fruition, with our acceptance and signing of the formal agreement to the terms and conditions of Tricketts Arch Biobanking Conservation Agreement. It is our family’s hope that with the sale of the biobanking ecosystem credits that we will be able to finance a family vision of cultural programmes, employment opportunities and farm infrastructure improvements that will build on our dream of Caring For Country with Caring For Our People .

  • Natural Resources and the Environment
    11/02/2006 Plenary: ‘A 50 year Perspective on Agricultural and Resource Policy’ Natural Resources and the Environment 1 2 David Godden and Matthew Skellern 50th Annual Conference Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society 8-10 February, 2006, Sydney Abstract Australian environments and natural resources have changed substantially since the Society was founded in 1957, partly as a result of changes to the economy, society, technology, and global conditions. This paper documents changes in the stock and condition of Australia’s environment and national resources 1955-2005, considering how policy has both responded to and influenced those changes. New resources have been discovered (e.g. minerals and some fish stocks); some resources have experienced long-term stock decline in both quantity and quality (e.g. forests and fisheries); new uses have been found for known resources (e.g. coal exports and agricultural commodities); technology and investment have changed the ways resources are extracted and used; and increased incomes have increased demand for outdoor leisure and conservation. These changes have variously increased and decreased the pressures on resources and the environment. Society has responded – both reactively and proactively – to changing environmental conditions and pressures, including increased scales of effects (e.g. climate change and stratospheric ozone globally). Perceptions have also changed about the extent of and proper limits to environmental and resource degradation, and appropriate responses to such degradation.. Insights gained from this retrospective are used to consider prospects for future policy impacts, and in particular how economists might contribute to policy processes concerning the environment and natural resources. Nothing in this paper necessarily represents the policies or views of the NSW Government, the Minister for the Environment, or the Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW) 1.

  • Chapter 1 Information Processing and Australian Prehistory 1.1 Introduction
    1 CHAPTER 1 INFORMATION PROCESSING AND AUSTRALIAN PREHISTORY 1.1 INTRODUCTION This thesis has two primary aims. The first is to examine a range of ethnohistorical and archaeological data in an attempt to establish the patterns of settlement and subsistence of the prehistoriC Aboriginal inhabitants of northeastern New South Wales. I focus particular attention on the New England Tablelands and the rugged gorge country lying between the coastal hinterland and the tablelands. Secondly, I will describe the patterns of social intercourse and alliance in the region, using both historic and archaeological data. I will then consider the relationship between these, and social arrangements seen elsewhere in Australia. Finally, I will examine the potential of information theory to explain the processes and changes which occurred in the New England area and across Australia during the middle and late Holocene. It will be demonstrated that social relations between groups in northeastern NSW were extremely fluid at contact, and that this fluidity is reflected in the archaeological record of this region. Ethnohistorically, clans in coastal areas sought to establish autonomy from their neighbours, continually forging alliances, which collapsed and then re-emerged as differences were mediated. This is reflected in the complex linguistic arrangements seen in coastal areas, with large numbers of dialects being used by individual clans, but no break being of such depth or of sufficient time for a new language to emerge. We will also see that linguistic evidence suggests a joint ancestry for tableland groups and certain coastal peoples, and that barriers . ", developed between these peoples such that extreme divergence between tableland and the related coastal languages took place.
