The Grand Canyon is one of the most famous and popular tourist attractions in North America. This canyon is a part of the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. The canyon brings in loads of profit for the government, but it is not the only one of its kind. In Lumpkin, Georgia, there is also a canyon. This land form is called Providence Canyon. Locals from around the area knew of this beautiful, sandstone formation and decided to name it, "Little Grand Canyon." This beauty of nature brought in many locals and through time began to attract national attention. Since this canyon was attracting so much attention, local government officials saw the opportunity to make a profit off the canyon and there by request to turn it into …show more content…
In the early 1800s, farmers moved into the area and started growing the time period's most profitable crop in the southern area of the country, cotton. They moved in, cut down the trees, and started plowing and planting their seeds in long straight lines. Of course, the farmers did not realize at the time, that their methods of farming were damaging the property. These traditional farming methods were initiating a string of events that would drastically change the landscape. Had the farmers known about land preservation techniques such as rotating the crops in the field every year, growing cover crops to protect the soil, and plowing the soil with the contour method, the landscape would have never been altered and the canyon would not be there today. However, these methods were not fully developed until 100 years later, and so the farmers just used the best knowledge they had at the time. In 1933, the government made a decision not to make Providence Canyon a national park. I believe that the government should have had a different vote. Since the canyon is only a state park, many people have never heard of it, and do not even know that it even exists. Providence Canyon is a beautiful sight and more people should be able to experience its breathing views and form. By making it a national park, the federal government could have turned Providence Canyon into the next big attraction in
I am against the federal government's decision not to make Providence Canyon a national park. I believe that the Providence Canyon should become a national park for a variety of reasons in which I will discuss in this essay. Reasons such as it is a huge tourist attraction in the state of Georgia. In this essay you will know why the Providence Canyon should be a national park.
I agree with the federal government's decision in not making Providence Canyon a national park. The reason I agree with not making Providence Canyon a national park is because people do not know how to pick up their trash when it misses the trash cans and that is an environmental problem, also the money to pay for it comes from our pockets. Also people are unaware of this and the disasters that they could cause when they drop their trash where ever they want or when they let their pets use the bathroom where ever they let them. The federal government did the right thing by not making the Providence Canyon a national park in my opinion.
However, Providence Canyon could bring many people into Georgia. While coming to Georgia they want reminders of their trip, so they can buy souvenirs to show off and talk about. This brings more economic value to Georgia. This could cause a chain reaction and increase the United States value. Making Providence Canyon a national park could increase the money income of the country. It states in the story, Georgia Little Grand Canyon, "If the locals thought this area was beautiful enough to
In his book, Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water, Marc Reisner’s main thesis is to show the inefficiency, greed, and inherent difficulty in the American West’s never-ending struggle to turn its unwelcoming desert into a lush garden. One of his main sub-points is that the West is not meant to support millions of people. It has a wide range of geographic challenges throughout the entire region. Its inconsistency and diversity is a primary cause of its water problems. For example, Reisner notes that the West consists of “plains so arid that they could barely support bunchgrass; deserts that were fiercely hot and fiercely cold; streams that flooded a few weeks each year and went dry the rest; forests with trees so large it might take days to bring one down; . . . hail followed by drought followed by hail;” (23).
All three sections of Canyonlands has its own distinct features that attract so much attention every year but what many would love to know is how has this immense landscape come to be?
To begin this analysis of Red Rock Canyon, is the notion of Red Rock Canyon being a place defined by its theory of rhetoric. According to Danielle Enders and Samantha Senda-Cook in their article “ Rhetoric Matters: The Rhetoric of Place in Protest”,
In the beginning, Yuma was a just a small town that would continuously be flooding. Yuma wanted to make something out of the small floodplain town so they decided to try to control the Colorado river flow. Yuma county thought about what they could do… in 1912, they built a dam to regulate the flow of water to the Yuma Valley. Many corporations helped with the redirect of the water flow. I’m not sure if the Yuma people realized that with the construction of the dam, their small town would soon be booming. Yuma wanted to become this area of agricultural greatness, so they came together with other corporations to achieve this goal of theirs. From that day Yuma has been working and being involved with the agricultural business.
The first National Park was created in Yellowstone and in the territories of Wyoming and Montana. This was done so by the Act of March 1st, 1872. This act essentially reserved the area from settlement, occupancy, and sale under the laws of the United States of America. This act was meant so the people could benefit from the park for years to come. It was almost as it were reversed for life to the public to explore and have fun with nature in this Public Park. This act would leave the park under exclusive control. The land would be taking care of by its workers and certainly maintained for the wants of the public. This Yellow Stone act was the start of many great things to come for the National Park Service.
On the south rim of the Grand Canyon there is many different points to stop at. The one that stood out the most was the Desert View Watchtower, or as I call it “The Castle”. The watchtower is four stories high, and you are to climb 85 steps to get up to the top. When you make your way to the top you see these beautiful pictures a Hopi artist drew on to the walls of the tower. Climbing those narrow staircases up to the top you get this breath-taking view when you finally get there. Looking out at the Grand Canyon you get to see the Colorado River and its beauty, the millions of years of rock erosion that once used to be covered in water, and the little greenery that lines the top of the Canyon. As I was there and looking out at the canyon I
The Grand Canyon is arguably one of the most popular National Parks in the United States, and several groups have a vested interest in the land. The National Park officially opened its doors in 1919, and has seen exponential growth in visitors ever since. With nearly five million visitors each year, the park draws tourists from all around the world, and is also home to several Native American tribes,
Not many people know of the used-to-be 150-mile excursion that the Glen Canyon had to offer. Not many people know how to sail a raft down a river for a week. Not many people know how to interact with nature and the animals that come with it. We seem to come from a world that is dependent on time and consumed in money. Edward Abbey is what you would call an extreme environmentalist. He talks about how it was an environmental disaster to place a dam in which to create Lake Powell, a reservoir formed on the border of Utah and Arizona. He is one of the few that have actually seen the way Glen Canyon was before they changed it into a reservoir. Today, that lake is used by over a million
Providence Canyon is a park located in Southwest Georgia. Recently, the federal government made a decision to not make Providence Canyon- more known as the "Little Grand Canyon"- a national park. The federal government clearly does not know what they missed out on when they made this into only a state park. Providence Canyon would best be a national park because of tourism, education, and the stunning wildlife. These attributions should be known throughout the nation.
Over three centuries ago, many people were put to their torturous death by being falsely accused of witchcraft. Innocent people were accused on a hunch but for no reason. People accused individuals of witchcraft to gain land or items that they wanted. In Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, Abigail’s need for Power, love, and attention depict her as an evil individual.
Alright I'm bout to tell you about why there should not be park in Grand Canyon. All the wildlife there is very important to everyone who explores it not to get rid of all of the wildlife. People these days don´t care about things like that they just want to make money. I think people are plane stupid to get rid of all wildlife, then build park to make
As far back as one can look into human civilization, justice for a murder victim has always been by taking the life of the killer. In today’s society capital punishment is needed to defend it from further harm, bring justice and/or vengeance to the victims of the loved ones, and encourage psychological deterrence. As of today, there are thirty-two states which offer the only just punishment for a crime without parallel and eighteen states having abolished the death penalty.
