This report takes samples of the flora structure and growth in two different areas of Anstey Hill Recreation Park. The first was last burnt in 1995, and the second burnt in 2012. The results of these samples can be compared to data sampled in 2011, when the 2012 burnt area had not been burnt since Ash Wednesday in 1983.

The Appalachian Trail was also the product of a daydream atop Stratton Mountain, the brainchild of Benton MacKaye. MacKaye was an off-and-on federal employee, educated as a forester and self-trained as a planner, who proposed it as the connecting thread of "a project in regional planning." His proposal, drawing on years of talk of a "master trail" within New England hiking circles, was written at the urging of concerned friends in the months after his suffragette-leader wife killed herself. It appeared in the October 1921 edition of the Journal of the American Institute of Architects, at the time a major organ the regional-planning movement.

We plan to accomplish this firstly by improving the trail between the Tom Ford Park and Lafayette Heritage Trail Park. As of right now, it’s quite narrow in some areas and because it’s a shared-use trail between cyclists and pedestrians it means there is little room for coexistence so we’d like to expand it by at least two feet. We also propose that we should increase public knowledge of these trails through the use of social media, information sessions at the Piney-Z Homeowners Association meetings, and through a partnership with the FSU Hiking Club. There is also very little signage at both parks, especially Tom Brown where the entrance to the trail is just an ingrowth in the forest without any declaration. We recommend that clear and vibrant signs are erected in both parks that display a map of the trail marked with locations and amenities at both places as to encourage use. As we walked through Piney-Z, to our dismay, we noticed many of the streets lacked sidewalks, forcing us to walk on the road and dodge oncoming cars by moving onto people’s lawns which one resident, in particular, wasn’t so pleased with. So to keep this community safe and encourage people to walk in the neighborhood and to the park we propose to create sidewalks along every street in the

They were on their morning walk through the endless trails and old dirt paths that twisted and turned until you saw no end. The trails were covered with fresh snow stacked upon autumn’s forgotten leaves that were never bothered to be picked up. Walking into the woods, holding his gun with an old torn red flannel tee on, Jason has doubts that this might be his last season. Charlie was already climbing down the hillside, straying off the trails, and hoping of making the first kill to prove his worthiness to his owner. Jason calls back to Charlie, “Come ‘mere ol’ boy, don’t start without me!” and they begin their way quietly trudging through the dense woods to their special spot. They continue down the beaten path until Jason and Charlie come to a clearing in the woods where the only drops of sun come down through the dead leaves that have yet to fall. Here Jason pulls out a decaying tarp and sets up base camp. From camp, you can see all the rolling hillsides slope down into one large snake like river flowing through the mountains until it is lost in the distance. The Tennessee mountains are a treacherous terrain filled with steep drop offs and deadly trails. One can easily become lost and lose all sense of direction. Clutching his compass in one hand, Jason is prepared to stay the whole winter.

Over the summer, my family and I drove up to Maine in order to visit my grandpa and relax. For the past couple of years, my dad and I have planned a few days to go hiking. We got into hiking a couple of years ago when we first discovered Tumbledown Mountain. After our first hike together, we were entranced by the beauty of nature and peacefulness that we were eager to plan more. This became a tradition because my dad and I rarely get to spend a lot of time together due to our busy schedules.

It is amazing how some experiences stay so crisp in my memory, that if I were to close my eyes, I could almost swear that I was there right at that moment. It's as if my body can almost taste the sweet air, feel the cold, wet breeze on my skin, and recall the scent of the pine trees towering above our heads. Hiking in Payson, Arizona, after a snow storm is one of the best places I have ever visited in order to collect one of these memories. Payson is a great place to take the family dog hiking, but also you will be able to appreciate the beautiful landscape Payson has to offer, with it being conveniently located just a brief drive from the sweltering heat of the Desert Valley.
