Book excerpt: Yellowstone National Park looks like a pristine western landscape populated by its wild inhabitants: bison, grizzly bears, and wolves. But the bison do not always range freely, snowmobile noise intrudes upon the park's profound winter silence, and some tourist villages are located in prime grizzly bear habitat. Despite these problems, the National Park Service has succeeded in reintroducing wolves, allowing wildfires to play their natural role in park forests, and prohibiting a gold mine that would be present in other more typical western landscapes. Each of these issues--bison, snowmobiles, grizzly bears, wolves, fires, and the New World Mine--was the center of a recent policy-making controversy involving federal politicians, robust debate with interested stakeholders, and discussions about the relevant science. Yet, the outcomes of the controversies varied considerably, depending on politics, science, how well park managers allied themselves with external interests, and public thinking about the effects of park proposals on their access and economies. Michael Yochim examines the primary influences upon contemporary national park policy making and considers how those influences shaped or constrained the final policy. In addition, Yochim considers how park managers may best work within the contemporary policy-making context to preserve national parks.

Book Synopsis Compromising Yellowstone by : Michael J. Yochim
Download or read book Compromising Yellowstone written by Michael J. Yochim and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four case studies, all drawn from Yellowstone National Park's recent history, examine the relationship between interest groups and the National Park Service (NPS) in park policy-making. The NPS initiates and controls most policy-making efforts, with political influence common. Major interest groups include environmentalists, recreation advocates, business groups, and scientists. Differing motivations and perspectives on park purpose create controversies that usually result in compromises. / Case studies begin with, first, an NPS effort about 1960 to zone portions of Yellowstone Lake as non-motorized; conservationists and the NPS contested boating groups and some powerful politicians. The second study details efforts to close the Fishing Bridge village amid concerns that grizzly bears were dying in unacceptable numbers in that area. Business and recreatioinal interests contested the NPS, who received little support from environmental groups. The third study details the fire policy review that took place after the historic 1988 wildfires. Widespread scientist support for allowing wildfires to burn natually overcame economic and political opposition. The final study examines the ongoing snowmobile controversy, finding that all four primary interest groups are involved, strongly engaging the debate through litigation and political maneuvering. / Throughout, conservationists believe parks to be sacred nature preserves, and have the most supportive relationship with the NPS. Recreational groups cherish individual freedoms and strive to retain park access; they often contest NPS intentions. Business groups envision parks as exonomic generators, with a primary purpose being the promotion of local and regional economies; they are effective at compelling the NPS to compromise. Scientists lead in promoting science-based park management, but sometimes fail to provide consistent or timely direction. All interest groups assume that park resource exploitation is inappropriate, and find the NPS relatively open to their input. POlitical influence is pervasive, and in Yellowstone's case, generally favorable to economic enhancement and public access. / The compromise settlements may weaken overall park protections, but preserve Yellowstone as one of America's wildest places. Such controversies are the medium through which Americans contest core values that reflect conflicting relationships between people and nature, and by which Yellowstone is defined as a wild place.

Book Synopsis Evaluating the Effectiveness of Postfire Rehabilitation Treatments by : Peter R. Robichaud
Download or read book Evaluating the Effectiveness of Postfire Rehabilitation Treatments written by Peter R. Robichaud and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spending on postfire emergency watershed rehabilitation has increased during the past decade. A west-wide evaluation of USDA Forest Service burned area emergency rehabilitation (BAER) treatment effectiveness was undertaken as a joint project by USDA Forest Service Research and National Forest System staffs. This evaluation covers 470 fires and 321 BAER projects, from 1973 through 1998 in USDA Forest Service Regions 1 through 6. A literature review, interviews with key Regional and Forest BAER specialists, analysis of burned area reports, and review of Forest and District monitoring reports were used in the evaluation. The study found that spending on rehabilitation has increased to over $48 million during the past decade because the perceived threat of debris flows and floods has increased where fires are closer to the wildland-urban interface. Existing literature on treatment effectiveness is limited, thus making treatment comparisons difficult. The amount of protection provided by any treatment is small. Of the available treatments, contour-felled logs show promise as an effective hillslope treatment because they provide some immediate watershed protection, especially during the first postfire year. Seeding has a low probability of reducing the first season erosion because most of the benefits of the seeded grass occurs after the initial damaging runoff events. To reduce road failures, treatments such as properly spaced rolling dips, water bars, and culvert reliefs can move water past the road prism. Channel treatments such as straw bale check dams should be used sparingly because onsite erosion control is more effective than offsite sediment storage in channels in reducing sedimentation from burned watersheds. From this review, we recommend increased treatment effectiveness monitoring at the hillslope and sub-catchment scale, streamlined postfire data collection needs, increased training on evaluation postfire watershed conditions, and development of an easily accessible knowledge base of BAER techniques.
