The document proposes developing new trail systems in Uwharrie National Forest to serve the 6 million residents in the regional area. It notes that Uwharrie has the potential to be a prime recreation area but currently lacks sufficient trails. The proposal outlines plans to create a world-class multi-use trail network that would boost the local economy through tourism and promote conservation by concentrating recreational use on designated trails. It provides background on the natural history of Uwharrie and those involved in developing its trail systems.
Dr. Laurie J. Raymundo presented on the challenges facing tourism and coral reefs in Guam with climate change. Guam has a population of around 160,000 and relies heavily on tourism, with over 1.5 million visitors in 2016, most from Japan. Five marine preserves were established in 1997 due to overfishing concerns. Monitoring of coral health from 2006 to 2017 showed a 5% decrease in live coral cover from 2006 to 2013 and a 40% decrease from 2013 to 2017, corresponding to periods of annual bleaching and extreme low tides. Moving forward, partnerships between scientists, managers, tourism industry, and leaders will be important to better manage local stressors and increase reef resilience in a changing climate

Blue Mountains National Landscape and the National Geotourism StrategyLeisure Solutions®
The document discusses a national geotourism strategy for Australia and its application to the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. It outlines how geotourism can celebrate the region's geoheritage by expanding mapping and using new technologies. It also discusses developing geotrails, collaborating across natural and cultural heritage, and training geologists in interpretation. The strategy aims to enhance coordination of geoheritage listings and establish assessment procedures to balance protection and visitation of important geosites.
This presentation formed the basis of the webinar organised for students of the College of Sciences and Engineering of the School of Technology, Environments and Design, University of Tasmania with the topic of ‘Geoheritage and Geotourism’. The take-aways from the webinair were
Geotourism is holistic and ‘place based’ with geology and landscapes as its base.
The right balance needs to be determined between exposing geosites for public visitation & geoconservation needs.
Geotourism must determine what measures are put in place or techniques used to respect geoconservation considerations.
Through the study of geomorphology, an understanding of landscapes can enhance outstanding, interpretative experiences for visitors.
The application of new digital technologies can add considerable value to the geotourism experience.
Geoheritage needs to embrace both fossil & mineral treasures.
Enhancing the Pilbara Georegion Through Geotourism by Angus M RobinsonLeisure Solutions®
In recent years there has been a growing realisation that economic development in outback regional Australia needs to be built on the three sustainable core pillars of mining, agriculture and tourism. Geotourism, an emerging global phenomenon, is holistic and is an experiential form of nature (and culture – both indigenous and post European settlement based) tourism. Unlike ecotourism which focuses mainly on flora and fauna in essentially protected areas, geotourism can extend across both designated protected and unprotected areas, including those areas subject of existing agricultural and mining development. By raising awareness of the importance of the area’s geological heritage in history and society today, geotourism provides local communities with a sense of pride in their region and strengthens their identification with the region. Geotourism can be the generator of new jobs and innovative local enterprises as new sources of revenue, as well as the opportunity for existing remote area businesses to diversify into provision of visitor services, while the geological heritage of the region can be better managed and protected.
Embracing through geotourism the Pilbara Georegion’s world-famous North Pole stromatolites, given this geosite’s world class profile as the oldest living community fossils on the planet, has considerable potential in establishing Australia as a ‘must see’ destination for fossil-rich geoheritage visitation. Realisation of this potential, when combined with the parallel development of the truly unique Nilpena Ediacaran fossil assemblage site in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges, as well as the established Age of Dinosaurs museum in Winton in Western Queensland, will deliver for Australia an unparalleled tourism destination. For the emerging, high value, free and independent market in China, the availability of high profile ‘scenic areas’ such as the Pilbara Georegion, with its outstanding natural heritage and cultural values, offers outstanding ‘bucket list’ appeal.

Driving Australia’s National Geotourism Strategy through the AGCLeisure Solutions®
The Australian Geoscience Council Inc (AGC) has set up a National Geotourism Strategy Reference Group (NGSRG) which includes representatives of other key active stakeholders (e.g. the Geotourism Standing Committee of the Geological Society of Australia), and under the guidance of this reference group, other key stakeholder groups will be best placed to help deliver different parts of a National Geotourism Strategy (NGS).
This NGS is being designed to support the orderly development of major geotourism projects and activities in line with overseas trends and domestic regional development imperatives. The AGC sees the articulation of a strategy with a staged and incremental approach as being essential to ultimately gain government endorsement at all levels. The development of a National Ecotourism Strategy in 1994 and subsequent state/territory-based initiatives is considered as a particularly useful precedent and guide. Of significance internationally is the development of geotourism in Australia that lags many countries’ approach, notwithstanding the fact Australia has taken the initiatives in several areas in development of the concepts underpinning geotourism.
The pursuit of geotourism offers the potential for new industries and employment opportunities through the development of major projects within Australia. Also, very significantly from a strategic perspective, the AGC recognises that the development of geotourism may be one of the best ways to communicate the value of geoscience to the broader Australian community. The AGC considers that this improved profile for geoscience is likely to have a positive impact in other areas of strategic importance, most notably the need for continuing tertiary enrolments in geoscience, which is required to meet Australia’s needs for highly qualified geoscience graduates and researchers into the future.

Geoparks: A global approach to promote sustainable tourism for local communitiesLeisure Solutions®
Geoparks provide a global approach to promote sustainable tourism and benefit local communities. They conserve geological heritage and foster appreciation for the Earth's history while supporting education, sustainable development and community engagement. Case studies from China demonstrate how geoparks transformed economies by generating tourism, businesses and jobs. The Yuntaishan Geopark transformed the poor city of Jiaozuo, increasing tourism revenue over 40 times. The Changyu Cave geopark in Shanghai attracted over 1 million visitors annually and increased ticket sales over 180% through restoration and environmental improvement projects. Geoparks represent a fast growing global movement of using geological features to stimulate sustainable local development through geotourism.

Geotourism - A Transformational Approach to Conserving Heritage and Generati...Leisure Solutions®
In formulating a national strategy for geotourism development, the Australian Geoscience Council
Inc (AGC) has consulted with both the Heritage Committee and the Society of Social and
Environment (The Society) of The AusIMM to determine how best the development
of geotourism throughout Australia can enhance the scope of regional development of mining areas
during current mining activities and after mine closure. Geotourism adds considerable holistic
content value to traditional nature-based tourism as well as cultural attributes (embracing both
Aboriginal and post European settlement) having regard to mining aspects and can be delivered
through mechanisms such as geotrails and geoparks within defined ‘GeoRegions’.
The Australian Geoscience Council (AGC), which is the Peak Council of geoscientists in Australia representing eight major Australian geoscientific societies with a total membership of over 8,000 individuals, is currently consulting with state/territory government agencies with the aim of developing a national strategy predicated on consideration of a number of broad topics which include identifying mechanisms for collaboration with providers of other areas of natural (bioregion) and cultural heritage content, inclusive of mining heritage. Through the auspices particularly of the Heritage Committee of the AusIMM (an AGC member), it has been recognised that much of Australia’s rich mining heritage, including many outstanding mineral collections, has not been adequately integrated into tourism product development.

Geotourism and Geoparks, Porongorup, WA by Alan BriggsLeisure Solutions®
Located 50 kilometres north of Albany in the south west of Western Australia, the Porongorup district is a picturesque lifestyle location with significant potential for sustainable tourism development. But what type of tourism? The Porongorup National Park, at the centre of the district and with more than 90,000 annual visitors, is a major nature-based natural attraction featuring a 670 metre granite monadnock and with modern tourism facilities. The Porongorup community asked the question of how to integrate opportunities for ecotourism and yet maintain the existing lifestyles of the community. Opinions were divided and a community forum was held to discuss the way forward. While attending the forum, research data was collected on the community’s views of establishing a Geopark in the district and to gauge community perception of doing so. Geoparks are areas using their significant geological interest to support natural and cultural awareness, education, protection and support sustainable development, and are supported by local communities. This paper will present the background to Geoparks, their potential for development of rural communities and preliminary outcomes from the Porongorup research in terms of tourism potential.
VNPA's Nature and Conservation Report - presentation by Matt Ruchelunlikelyjournal
The document provides an overview of the Victoria National Parks Association (VNPA) on the occasion of its 60th anniversary. It outlines VNPA's vision, mission, and goals of conservation, education, and promoting enjoyment of natural areas. It summarizes VNPA's founding in 1952 and key accomplishments over 60 years, including expanding protected areas from 124,000 hectares to almost 4 million hectares. However, it notes more protection is still needed as Victoria remains the most cleared state with many threatened plants and animals and degradation of waterways and wetlands.
The document discusses volunteering land for conservation in Australia's National Estate. It provides three case studies of land acquisitions that increased the size of national parks. It also describes a habitat conservation project that tracks koalas and their tree usage, and an environmental education program called Backyard Buddies that encourages protecting wildlife in backyards.
The Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife (FNPW) aims to preserve Australia's natural heritage through conservation projects and environmental education. It has added over 500,000 hectares to national parks and helped save threatened species. The FNPW involves communities in conservation through programs like Backyard Buddies, which has over 15,000 members. Rotary's goal of preserving the planet aligns with the FNPW's mission, and Rotarians can support the FNPW through donations and volunteering.
Montezuma national wildlife refuge research projectNatalie Angers
This is a presentation I created for my Environmental and Ecosystems Management class. I discuss the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in NY and talk about some of the challenges at the refuge.
Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge Research ProjectNatalie Angers
The document provides an overview of the management plan for Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. It discusses the history of the area and establishment of the refuge. It outlines the management philosophy of protecting wetlands and wildlife habitat. It identifies key issues such as invasive species, altered hydrology from development, and providing public use and education opportunities. The management plan's goals are to conserve biodiversity and wildlife such as migrating birds through habitat management and addressing threats.
Geotourism – Adding Value to Traditional Nature-based TourismLeisure Solutions®
The document discusses developing a National Geotourism Strategy in Australia. It defines geotourism as nature-based tourism that focuses on an area's geology and landscape. The strategy would coordinate geoheritage listings, develop new geotrails, and train geologists in interpretation skills. It emphasizes collaborating with groups involved in mining heritage, biodiversity, and indigenous culture to provide holistic geotourism experiences. The goal is to boost regional development and geoscience understanding through geotourism.
Grand Teton National Park was established in 1950 to protect the Teton Mountain Range and surrounding lakes. The park attracts over 2.7 million visitors annually who participate in activities like hiking, camping, fishing and boating. Tourism is a major economic driver for the region, generating over $500 million each year. The park works to balance visitor access and use with sustainability by pursuing initiatives like renewable energy, waste reduction and monitoring noise pollution. Ongoing management seeks to both preserve the area's natural and cultural resources while continuing to accommodate visitor experiences.
Biosphere reserves aim to reconcile biodiversity conservation and sustainable human use. They contain core, buffer, and transition zones and serve conservation, development, and research functions. World Heritage Sites are landmarks selected for cultural, historical, or scientific significance under international treaties. There are over 1,000 sites across 167 countries representing natural phenomena, stages of Earth's history, and examples of human creativity.
The document discusses the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and its protected areas. Specifically:
- The IUCN was founded in 1948 and has over 900 member organizations in 133 countries working to conserve biodiversity.
- It defines protected areas as dedicated land or sea areas managed to protect biodiversity and natural/cultural resources.
- There are six categories of protected area management defined by the IUCN, including strict nature reserves, wilderness areas, and national parks.
- In Pakistan, the three categories of protected areas are national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and game reserves.

Evolving Geotourism as a Key Driver of Regional Development in Australia: Glo...Leisure Solutions®
The document discusses developing geotourism in Australia as a driver of regional economic development. It outlines the Australian Geoscience Council's plan to develop a national geotourism strategy. Key topics for the strategy include enhancing coordination of geoheritage listings, establishing procedures for assessing georegions, developing new geotrails, and collaborating across natural, cultural and mining heritage sectors to provide holistic geotourism experiences. Geotrails in particular are seen as a cost-effective way to promote regional areas and their geological features while respecting land access and management. The strategy aims to grow both geotourism and ecotourism in Australia.

Uwharrie Trails Project
1. A case for trail development in
Uwharrie National Forest
Presented by:
Uwharrie Trails and Conservancy and the Land Trust for
Central North Carolina
Uwharrie Trails and Conservancy
2. The Take Away
1. Uwharrie is Central North Carolina’s potential prime
recreation area for: Hiking, Biking, Equestrian,
Boating, Fishing, Hunting and ORV.
2. Currently a large demand exists for new trails to
serve the 6 million residents in the regional area.
3. The Uwharrie Mountains have a wide variety of
natural features, floral and fauna, and history that
should be preserved.
4. New trails allow users to explore more of this area,
which in turn should foster a greater interest in wise
use of this resource.
5. Construction of state-of-art trails, should draw many
recreational tourists, promote local economic
development, and give the local community a great
asset.
3. The Mission
• Combine Trails and Conservation in Uwharrie
to lift up local communities.
• To promote Uwharrie natural assets as a
priceless public resource.
The Vision
• To further the vision of others that have
pioneered the acquisition and protection of
Uwharrie lands.
• Combine them with recreational trail use
and conservation for the greater good!
Our Goal
• Create a world class multi-user trail system
that will compliment and enhance the local
communities.
4. • Trails connect people to the natural environment: Trails
place to place, person to person, and neighbor to
neighbor.
• Trails connect us to scenic landscapes, natural
wonders, and cultural resources.
• They make our communities more livable:
improving the economy through tourism and civic
improvement, and building support for land
protection and stewardship.
• Trails provide opportunities for multiple-use
recreation: promoting physical activity to improve
fitness and mental health.
• They provide access for other recreational
opportunities such as hunting or rock-climbing.
• They enhance educational opportunities:
providing opportunities to improve and test skills,
to be challenged, or to learn about our natural or
cultural environment.
• Trails present opportunities for observation,
enjoyment, and exploration.
• Trails strengthen each of us: offering opportunities
for solitude, contemplation, and inspiration. To
some, trails provide a sense of freedom, personal
accomplishment, self-reliance, and self-discovery.
5. Trails help protect rare habitats and
sensitive resources,by concentrating use Conservation
on designated, sustainable pathways.
• Trails offering a rich and enjoyable experience don’t just happen. Creating a
sense of place and a sequence of events that add interest and offer
challenge are essential to good trail design.
• Moreover, the placement of any trail on the landscape has an ecological
impact. The challenge is to keep impacts to a minimum while providing the
desired experience.
• To be sustainable, a trail must serve the needs of users for generations to
come, while preserving the sense of place and protecting the quality of the
surrounding environment.
• Sustainable trails begin with thoughtful planning, good design, and
meticulous layout.
• Many of our trails suffer from lack of planning and poor design. Many are
user created pathways, or leftover routes from historic farm roads and
logging activities that are not appropriate forlong-term recreational use.
• Improperly planned and constructed trails need frequent maintenance, can
require significant investment in time and money, and still may not meet the
needs of the user or protect the surrounding natural resources.
• A sustainable trail will require little rerouting and minimal maintenance over
extended periods of time.
• A successfully designed trail will entice visitors back time and again.

7. History of Area
As Good as Gold!
“By the 1830s, gold prospectors and miners had moved into the
Uwharrie Mountain region, searching the hills and panning the
streams. At least fifteen mines, including the Russell Mine,
opened in the Uwharries before the Civil War”.

8. Natural History
• The Uwharrie National Forest was first purchased
by the federal government in 1931 during the
Great Depression. The land was known as the
Uwharrie Reservation.
• In 1961, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed
these federal lands in Montgomery, Randolph, and
Davidson Counties the Uwharrie National Forest.
• It is one of the most recently formed in the
National Forest System.
• Though small, at only 50,189 acres, the Uwharrie
provides a variety of natural resources, including
clean rivers and streams, diverse vegetation for
scenery, wildlife habitat and wood products.
• There is also a wide variety of recreational
activities, and the Forest is a natural setting for
tourism and economic development.
9. Archeology
• The Uwharries and surrounding areas were favorite
stomping grounds of the Native Americans for at least
ten thousand years and probably longer.
• Their legacy and artifacts to future generations include,
but aren't limited to: arrow and spearheads, pottery
fragments, ancient campsites and fish-traps.
• Right below the Uwharrie National Forest is one of the
historic Mississippian culture's east coast ceremonial
centers called Town Creek Indian Mound.
• The archaeology on
the mound began in
the 1930s and some
amazing discoveries
have been made
there over the years.
10. USFS 15 Year Plan
People who work, play, or live in or near the Uwharrie NF were invited to participate in a
series of meetings to learn how the revised plan would be developed.
• Many participants expressed appreciation for the sights, sounds, and smells of nature as a
refuge from urban life; some are interested primarily in conservation of the native ecosystems
while others see the Uwharrie NF as a place to recreate by hiking, mountain biking, horseback
riding, OHV riding, camping, boating, hunting, fishing, or shooting.
• Some look for ways the Forest can provide economic benefits to local communities. All
participants expressed value for the Uwharrie NF’s rural setting and its diversity of native plants
and animals.
Three themes came to dominate the collaborative planning process
and most conversations about the Uwharrie NF:
1. Restoring the forest to a more natural ecological condition: For example,
reducing the amount of loblolly pine plantations in favor of reestablishing
longleaf pine forests or oak-hickory forests.
2. Better managing cultural resources: The Uwharrie NF has an abundance of
artifacts and historic and prehistoric sites within its boundaries. These need
protection, but they also provide opportunities for research, teaching, and
interpretation; and
3. Providing outstanding and environmentally friendly outdoor recreation
opportunities, with excellent trails and facilities: It is a challenge to provide the
kind of experience recreationists want while minimizing impacts to other forest
resources and other forest users.

16. Health and Wellness
Trails for Health and Wellness
With millions of acres of public lands and thousands of miles of rivers,
Americans have access to an amazing outdoor “gym” in which they can
pursue a variety of activities. Between the National Park Service and the
Forest Service alone, there are approximately 160,000 miles of trails, 58
national parks, and more than 14,000 recreational sites. This doesn’t include
the numerous state and local parks and recreation areas that may be next
door to your home, school, or worksite. Contrary to popular belief, being
active outdoors doesn’t have to mean a long car trip, a lot of gear, or special
skills.
Trails: A Scientifically Proven Asset
Scientific evidence from the Guide to Community Preventive Services shows
that providing access to places for physical activity, such as trails, increases
the level of physical activity in a community. Trails can provide a wide
variety of opportunities for being physically active:
Walking, jogging, running, and hiking
Bicycling
Fishing
Hunting
Forestry work
17. Community Benefits
• Because of their linear design, trails act as a meeting place for
the community. Trails foster community involvement, and
corresponding pride, in addition to providing an opportunity to
interact with people of varying backgrounds, and experiences.
• Common trail activities such as walking, bicycling, and cross-
country skiing are all relatively inexpensive, unorganized
activities, providing accessible recreation opportunities.
• An important by-product of trails is improved selfimage and
social relationships, reduced crime, a livelier community
atmosphere and a lifestyle which encourages young people to
find their entertainment in healthier and more wholesome ways.
• Trails help build partnerships among private companies,
landowners neighbouring municipalities, local government, and
advocacy groups.
• When residents are encouraged to be involved in a community
project, like a trail project, they feel more connected to the
community.
18. Economic Development
• Over 62.5% of NC’s population is active
• They contribute over $19 billion annually
• Outdoor Recreation Supports 192,000 jobs across the state
• And generates $1.3 billion in local and state taxes
19. The Vision Case Study
• To have a destination quality access park owned and managed by the City
of Anniston where the family can play while mom or dad is o the trail.
• Mayor Vaughn Stewart wants Anniston to be able to call itself “Bike City,
Alabama”
The Project:
• Coldwater Mountain is a 4000 acre tract of land owned by the State of
Alabama's Forever Wild organization and managed by the State Lands
Division of the state's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
• It is a program dedicated to preserving Alabama's most beautiful land,
while expanding the recreational opportunities available to the public.
• The Coldwater tract was purchased by Forever Wild in the late 90's and is
presently being developed into a world class destination trail system for
mountain bikers, trail runners, and hikers.
• Sixty miles of trail have been designed and construction will be performed
in phases over a 3 to 5 year period.
• To date, it is funded primarily through a Recreational Trails Program (RTP)
grant with the help of the Alabama Department of Economic and
Community Affairs (ADECA).
• Funding Update: City Council members voted unanimously to fund
$450,000 to the project, making 9 miles possible!
