The proposed building of 44 houses on the grassland in front of the Peter Mural reserve raises many geographically significant questions such as traffic control, impact on wildlife and endangered plants, bushfire risk and population growth of Huntingfield. I have decided to use traffic as an argument because of the dangers and inconvenience it will bring,

Turtle River State Park is a park manage by the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department. The mission of the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department is to provide and enhance outdoor recreation opportunities through diverse parks and programs that conserve the state's natural diversity (ND Parks and Recreation). The area we chosen to manage is a small parcel within the park which includes a small prairie, an oak stand and a small pound. The prairie was just given to the park a couple of years ago before that it was a hay field. This paper will discuss how we will manage this small parcel for Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus), Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis), Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), Plains Garter snake (Thamnophis radix)

A small parcel of land, part of the original property belonging to the Yountville Veterans’ Home, remained on the east side of State Road 29. The Veteran’s Home expressed an interest in providing the deed to this parcel of land to the Town of Yountville as long as the land was for use by the community and not sold for profit. The Town desired to create a park that was welcoming and connected the entrances to the Town of Yountville and the Veterans’ Home because they were

During this history class extra credit opportunity tour to River Bend State Park I fell like I learned a lot of very interesting information on not only American history, but also Seminole History. I also learned the methods that have been utilized in hopes of preserving the park in its natural state. It is well known that it will not be possible to get the park to be an exact replication of the way it was when the wars were taken place, because the park changed before and after those events, and we do not know the exact changes to make today. But nonetheless, the park is as close to as it was back then as it needs to be, and I thought that it was an amazing thing to be in such a well preserved meaningful location. I had no idea that the Seminoles were such a big factor in American history as well as the fact that they were the only Indian group to never surrender. The wars upon the Seminoles were not necessary, and America should not have taken everything from them, or killed so many of them. The Seminoles could have been a huge advantage towards America if we would have accepted them and learned their tracking skills, war tactics, and healthy living habits, rather than stealing from them and killing them.

Today, Liberty State Park serves an important role in the New York Harbor area. As the railroads and industry started to drop the land was abandoned and became an empty dump site. Land with decaying buildings, tracks and piles of debris was transformed into a modern urban state park. The park was formally opened on Flag Day, June 14, 1976, as New Jersey's bicentennial gift to the nation. Most of the 1,122 acre park is open space with about 300 acres made for public recreation.

Dionisio Point Provincial Park had a problem with woodlot owners harassing cyclings for ‘trespassing’ on their land since the early 1990’s. At first, Macmillan owned the forest area now known as the Dionisio land area, but then he broke his land into smaller woodlots to sell it to various families. The miscommunication between the buyers and Macmillan lead to the buyers believing that retirement houses could be built upon the land , which lead to the construction of an expensive road on the land. In total, there are about 100 woodlots but only 17 lots overlap with Bodega beach road. In an attempt to pressure Island Trust to absolving woodlot property issues by prohibiting ‘trespassers’ from using the roads or trails. Leaving aside the legality

Conservation of our natural environment is of vital importance. Now, people should preserve nature and protect it. In addition, it is imperative to realize that, the survival of humanity and many creatures depends mainly on the state of the environment around us. As matter of fact, science place a relevant part in the conservation of the planet. Moreover, Physical geography is the study of all natural forms and processes in an environment, also, the field covers the cause and effect of human activity on the environment. “Geographers study the location and distribution of things-tangible things such as rainfall, mountains, and trees" (Hess, Darrel, Physical Geography, Third California Edition) For this reason, I decided to visit The Whittier Narrows Center. It is one of the many centers that have been established in US to conserve the most crucial asset that human beings possess, the environment. Those who study geography realize that it is important to conduct a thorough study on the center and its activities to identify what makes it such a unique site. This project is providing an insight of the center by describing its natural settings per Physical Geography. The paper will focus on the center’s location, geographical settings, weather, climate, plants and trees, soils, wildlife, terrain, local history and a site map.

The Channel Islands are located on the coast of Southern California in the Pacific Ocean between the cities Los Angeles and Santa Maria.

From the center of channel islands to the coast of Santa Barbara, it is approximately thirty miles, But it takes around two and a half hours to travel to the islands by boat. Opposed to the almost three-hour boat

It only happens once a year. Our annual fall camping trip to Pawtuckaway State Park, one of the best nature gateways specifically to observe spectacular fall foliage. A lot of people are timid by a thought of taking a camping trip that late in the season at the end of October when the temperature at night falls to smoldering thirty degrees and only a thin layer of a polyester fabric of a tent to keep you sheltered from the cold temperatures, wilderness and the elements. It does seem a little extreme, but I absolutely love it and it’s the event I wait for the whole year. We set on our journey early Saturday morning. The park is situated in the state of New Hampshire, a short drive up north. A vigorous smell of pine trees slipped in through

This year the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary. Their mandate is to "conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein” in an unimpaired condition so that they might be enjoyed by present and future generations." I interviewed Park Service employee Daniel Craighead, an Occupational Safety and Health Specialist, to discuss how occupational safety and training supports the Park Services mandate.
