I volunteered at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve on National Public Lands Day. National Public Lands Day promotes outdoor enjoyment, volunteering, and conservation of public lands. This event took place on September 30th from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. To do this, I filled out a permission slip handed out by Ms. Zacks. I arranged a ride from my mom and gathered the needed supplies. Park rangers assigned volunteers and I specific tasks to complete for the following six hours. A small group and I were assigned

Public lands in the United States provide natural amenities and recreational opportunities for tourists and migrants, and they also provide environmental benefits through the protection of wildlife and their habitats (Lewis et al., 2003; Cline et al., 2011). Most public lands have traditionally been managed for commodity outputs, such as timber, minerals, or livestock forage. However, with rising concern over environmental issues, policies to protect public lands have increased in the United States

grazing of public lands has become a very controversial issue over the last couple of decades. This is due to the fact that there are some people who believe that grazing the land is beneficial to the wildlife and the different plant species there. Then there are other people who have the belief that the grazing of livestock on public lands is detrimental to wildlife and plant health. Therefore, they believe that it is actually doing more harm than good. What are Public Grazing Lands? Public lands

In addition to the loss of public farming land, the opportunity arose for far wealthier citizens to expand the Roman latifundia (large plantation estates) as prices declined. This expansion also increased the already existing practice of slavery and drove smaller subsistence farmers off of the land, both by legal and illegal means. “The rich began to offer larger rents and drove out the poor. Then the poor, who had been ejected from the land, no longer showed themselves eager for military service

A Walk in the Park For my National Public Lands Day project, to better the environment, I am volunteering at the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. National Public Lands Day promotes both outdoor enjoyment, volunteering, and conservation of public lands. This event takes place on September 30th at 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. I will arrange a ride with my mom, then gather the needed supplies. My mom will drop me off a 8:00 a.m. with a group of park rangers, to whom I will address. For the following six hours

Public lands management is important because a great amount of lands is owned by federal and state government. About 30 percent of the land area of the Unite States is belongs to federal government and state government owns about 10 percent of the national land area. Rational and systematical use of public lands provides abundant benefits for economic growth and quality of life by creating a number of jobs and providing natural amenity. Traditionally, public lands have been managed for resource

Grazing cattle on public lands can have many advantages. Monetary gain is a large reason why lands are utilized (Council for Agricultural Science, Livestock Grazing on Federal Land). However grazing may be used as a tool for managing rangelands. Grazing could have possibly been the first form of rangeland management other than fire (Frost, Prescription Grazing). With this method, weeds and other undesirable vegetation were targeted to reduce numbers. However, if prescribed incorrectly it could lead

Purifying Public Plots I will volunteer at the National Public Lands Day event at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. This event involves repairing fences, trails, and signs at the preserve. The preserve's volunteer coordinator, Leslie Burkhardt, will coordinate the event. The reason why this project is important is that it gives me a chance to work with land that I have access to, but have not done any work to deserve access. First, I need to take to complete this project, is to get all of the waiver

1. Introduction For the past decades, public land policy debates have intensified among scholars, planners, and policy makers. The root of the debates is a question of which types of public lands management can provide better economic benefits to adjacent regions that are referred to gateway communities. For a long time, resource extractive industries – such as mineral, oil, coal, and timber development sectors - have been a primary growth engine for the economic growth in those communities. However

The National Park Service and the United States Forest Service: A Comparison on Public Land Management Early American land policy mainly consisted of the United States government acquiring public land and then in turn selling those lands to private landowners to generate revenue and to promote development. With public land rapidly disappearing a concern began to develop creating a small movement to protect public lands. There was little success with the movement until Theodore Roosevelt came into
