The efforts in restoring the Chesapeake Bay also has importance on economic value. The Chesapeake bay is a commercial and recreational resource for more than 15 million people who live in and near its watershed (drainage basin).” (Atkins & Anderson, 2003). According to the Chesapeake Bay foundation, also known as the CBF; in 2004, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science conducted an study estimated that the Chesapeake Bay contributed $1.23 billion in sales, $717 million in income, and nearly more than 13,000 jobs in Virginia from recreational and commercial fishing

I visited the Newport Back Bay Visitors Center. It is located in the Newport Back Bay for people to visit and learn about the wonderful Back Bay that is only steps from our very own school, CDM. The history of the Back Bay goes back a long time. In the 18th century when the Spanish arrived in California places like the Back Bay were very abundant. However by 1975 less than 10% remained in-between Santa Barbra and Mexico. In 1960 plans were made to make the back bay a large marina with houses right along the water. But in 1967 when a group of citizens founded the Friends of Newport Bay they fought to keep this from happening. It was also founded to help bring attention to the ecological importance of the Bay and to help try and ensure its survival. As a result of the Friends of Newport Bay the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve was founded in 1975. Seven years latter in 1982 more land was added at Big Canyon. Five years later, in 1989 what is now known as Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve was established on the neighboring bluffs after the County of Orange acquired an additional 140 acres. Eleven years after in 2000 the Friends and the Naturalists joined forces to become the Newport Bay Naturalists & Friends. Most recently, in 2010 it was elected to change the name of this organization to the Newport Bay Conservancy, which is the name that stands today. The visitor’s center helps inform people of the intricate Back Bay, how it is being preserved,

Daily life in the northern United States took on the hustle and bustle of a modern economy which can be seen in articles from the Valley Spirit. In the article “Chambersburg and Gettysburg Railroad,” the citizens of Fayetteville are interested in building a railroad linking the two towns. Fayetteville’s citizens have already contributed eighty dollars towards having the path surveyed and would like for the citizens of Franklin County to donate the remaining fifty dollars to have the project completed in a timely manner (Chambersburg and Gettysburg Railroad). The editors of this article express great confidence in Franklin County’s citizen’s will to support this project (Chambersburg and Gettysburg Railroad).This article shows the mind set of northern Americans and their willingness to work together to modernize and improve the infrastructure of their towns and cities. Another example of this mindset and desire to improve the infrastructure can be seen in the article “For the Valley Spirit,” which talks about the construction of a bridge crossing the Franklin

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

A new lake, one that was in all respects mini Lake Powell. With Red Sand Stone cliffs, and beautiful red sand beaches this new lake had all of the qualities of Lake Powell. In Addition to the lake there are massive sand dunes that attracted 4-wheelers, Jeepers, Campers, and Hikers. In short all kinds of people were flocking to the New Park that was closer to St George than the 2.5 Hour Drive to the much Larger Lake Powell. Quickly a few problems surfaced, the largest of which was trash. People would bring sack lunches or dinners to the lake and enjoy them on the sandy beach, but when it came time to leave the sac they brought it in broke and they would often leave the trash on the beach. The Park struggled to manage the problem, Paid Staff and Volunteers where brought in multiple times a week to try to clean the beaches. This is where my Eagle Project came

At the conflux of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, embedded in trees with refreshing bursts of reds and greens, and sheltered by rolling blue mountains so majestic and captivating that Thomas Jefferson christened it, “one of the most stupendous scenes in Nature,” lies the colorful, prismatic, straight out of the story books little town, Harpers Ferry. Besides this West Virginia city’s breathtaking, fantastic views, from the famed B&O railroad bridge to the homes and churches, so brilliant and perfect it appears they were painted, Harpers Ferry is most known for its history. In fact, from its humble beginnings involving George Washington to through the 1800’s, Harpers Ferry was a town crucial

This five mile trail is great for bikers, inline skaters, and those walking or jogging. It is even wheelchair accessible. On one end, the trail connects to Old Cutler Trail, and on the end, it connects with Rickenbacker Trail, allowing you to make your trail adventure longer. Commodore Trail is a mix of paved paths, sidewalks, and shared road. Take extra caution when traveling on the shared road portion of the trail. Places along the trail which might be of particular interest include both Kennedy Park and The Barnacle Historic State Park.

The ease with which Didion’s 1968 stranger could tour the Valley would have astonished its residents sixty years earlier. The township’s earliest “roads” favored the wildlife tracks and native trails that paralleled the river and crossed the plain. The 1908 roads were little better than those first paths—perhaps wider as teamsters strove to keep their wagons out of the deep ruts, but more pitted and rougher. In an era when no driver could call any San Joaquín County road “good,” the county’s residents widely recognized Tulare Township’s roads as the region’s worst.

This report from the Ohio Historical Society proposes a Historic Site Management Plan for Newark Earthworks State Memorial. It provides details on how to use this plan, its methodology, the publics and advisory panel input and its priorities. Further, this document included a detailed chronological account of prehistory occupancy and important date, as well as, historical ownership and occupancy of the Newark sites. Discussion of their management framework included management strategies, access to the sites, cultural preservation, treatment plan and also, an informational brochure and visitor’s facilities. The appendix of this report include among other things, a brief history of Newark earthwork, deeds and leases, and also recommendations from the advisory panel. I find this significant because it contains valuable historical records of occupation and ownership post the 17th-century, and absence of any records of prior occupation and ownership of the earlier Hopewell culture, that is thought to have built most of these earthworks. Although this source doesn’t answer the question who built these earthwork and why was it built, it gives account of a solid comprehensive timeline from post European contact to modern century that I find relevant to the Newark Great Oval

The community was originally built on a floodplain which made flooding a major problem in the community and not allowing water and sewage lines to be placed in the community. These problems continued to get worse in the 1960s when the Bluegrass parkway was constructed, which split the community in half and increased flooding in the community. These unhealthy conditions continued to raise awareness in Woodford county until the property was bought out by the county in 2003. Since then, the property is now just an overgrown and uncut relic of the

By 1856, much shipping activity was occurring along the wharf of Redwood City (City of Redwood City 1999, 2). As development continued, the port of Redwood City was moved further towards the Bay to its present location (City of Redwood City, 1999 3). A deep-water channel was dredged, to serve the Leslie Salt Company, the Pacific-Portland Cement Company, and the Alaska Codfish Company (City of Redwood City 1999, 3). In the 1920’s Leslie Salt Company diked off land from the Bay to be used as salt evaporation ponds (Horii 2000, 1). In the 1930’s the channel was widened, a wharf was built, and by 1937 the channel was ready to handle cargo (City of Redwood City 1999, 4). The operations at the Port were successful, and was used during WWII by the U.S. Navy for docking ships (City of Redwood City 1999, 4). By 1942, the Frank Tanning Company owned land east of the salt ponds, the U.S. 101 was built close to the shoreline, and most of the former marsh areas were contained by levees (City of Redwood City 2003,

DISCUSSION: Jason Ricker representing the Camp Tuscazoar Adventure Race, Mike Abrams of the Canal Lands Committee and Nancy Schoenbaum of Camp Tuscazoar were present to request usage of the Canal Lands Trailhead/parking area during the Camp Tuscazoar Adventure Race on Saturday August 19, 2017. The race will include running, biking and canoeing/kayaking. Permission to use the property is necessary so participants can access the Tuscarawas River for the canoe/kayak portion of the race. Commissioner Metzger asked if the Canal Lands Committee has approved use of the property. Mr. Abrams said it has not, but it can be brought to the attention of the committee to get approval. It was mentioned that Jane Clay, Executive Assistant/Park Coordinator

I do not remember moving to this town, I was too young. I have lived here all my life. My parents moved to the town of Oradell so I could go to a good school and live in a nice house. They bought the cheapest house in Bergen County at the time, since it was all they could afford. They let me pick which bedroom I wanted, and although I do not remember saying this, I chose my room because it was the only bedroom with a view of the Oradell Reservoir from the window. My dad got a ‘fishing key’ from the town, which allowed us to go down the street and through the fishing gate by the end of our road and enter the reservoir property to hike and fish. I spent most of my childhood at the reservoir; little did I know, what a big impact that very site

The elements in the strategic plan of Baycrest does indeed follow in the lines of the elements described in our textbook and research. In the textbook it talks about each of the elements the strategic plan should Intel. It includes an introduction of who Baycrest is and what they do, and then goes into their vision and mission statement. After the vision and mission they go into the five strategic directions tasks they are aiming for in the near future and the goals to help them follow them. Then they go into their principles or how the book explains it as setting objectives. Enabling strategies so they can take advantage of opportunities available, such as repacking educational activities to give them a higher profile for the communities they

One of America’s largest forest products/paper firms with sales of $6.5Billion in 1983 and a net income of $105 million. The case study revolves around Atlantic Corporation’s intention to add linerboard capacity. In order to achieve this goal, they started looking at viable solutions, including purchasing and acquiring mill and box plants instead of through construction and fabrication of new plants and equipment. This included the possible acquisition of Royal Paper’s “crown jewels”, that is, the Monticello mill and the corrugated box plants.
