established the Healthy Forest Initiative. This was his response to a multitude of forest fires during the year 2000. The initiative would allow for swift responses to the threats of wildfires. The process in which the United States Forest Service (USFS) goes about reducing the forest fires includes the thinning of forests by timbering, and removal of hazardous materials such as small trees, species of brush and shrub, logs, stumps, and whatever material could lead to an increase in forest fires or their

livestock forage. However, with rising concern over environmental issues, policies to protect public lands have increased in the United States over the past three decades. For example, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) adopted the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) in 1994 to restrict commodity production on public lands, and the USFS attempted to ban new

more interested in the effects of logging, so I made it my goal was to find to what extent the logging industry and National Forest Services have contributed to deforestation in the U.S. My first article was a research piece done by the University of Michigan posted in lecture format on the web. The most prevalent fixture in the piece was that “Since 1600, 90% of the virgin forests that once covered much of the lower 48 states have been cleared away.” (Global Deforestation) The writer contributes

One’s mind is not a complete mystery, but is a complex topic for understanding. Through psychology we are able to look into a human 's psyche to gain an idea of a person’s thoughts and actions; and from this information other’s are able to create theories and logical conclusions about the mind. It is a brain trying to interpret a brain, and the brain that is doing the interpreting must always find a way to prove the observations made. So when there is an issue that arises, the information that has

Rough Draft Research question: What measure can be taken to lessen man-made forest fires? Introduction: Forest fires have been an issue that has plagued Arizona for quite some time now. Although it is not a problem we often hear spoken about, it stills need to addressed. Most of the wildfires that occur are man-made, caused by the careless actions of people. The public needs to be informed on how to prevent/lessen forest fires in order to start winning this endless battle. People need to start to

The horses for the slaughter auction were gathered off public and tribal lands in northern Nevada. Before they gathered the horses the U.S Forest Service gave the go-ahead on a federally funded helicopter to round up the horses. (“How to Adopt”) On February 11, 2015- The U.S District Judge Larry Hicks, awarded the protection group Protect Mustangs and friends of Animals” a motion to stop the

One leading cause for increasing fire activity is climate change. Over the past several hundred years, average temperatures across the globe have increased. Warming temperatures have shortened winter and spring by melting snow packs and drying out areas prematurely. They have also staved off the chilling temperatures of fall. Altogether, summer and the firefighting season is 78 days longer than it was, even in the last several decades. As a result, burnable fuels are exposed to extreme temperatures

Nantahala Lake is dam-created lake or reservoir located at 3,000 feet above sea level in western North Carolina. Accessible via Wayah Road, the lake is a 45 minute drive from Franklin, NC or about an hour from Bryson City via NC Hwy 74 and Wayah Road. In 1929, Nantahala Power and Light Company was organized as part of the nation's rural electrification program. The abundance of water along with the terrain of the region made it ideal for hydroelectric power generation. The Nantahala Dam was built
