Download or read book Reclaimers written by Ana Maria Spagna and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of the past century, Humbug Valley, a forest-hemmed meadow sacred to the Mountain Maidu tribe, was in the grip of a utility company. Washington’s White Salmon River was saddled with a fish-obstructing, inefficient dam, and the Timbisha Shoshone Homeland was unacknowledged within the boundaries of Death Valley National Park. Until people decided to reclaim them. In Reclaimers, Ana Maria Spagna drives an aging Buick up and down the long strip of West Coast mountain ranges—the Panamints, the Sierras, the Cascades—and alongside rivers to meet the people, many of them wise women, who persevered for decades with little hope of success to make changes happen. In uncovering their heroic stories, Spagna seeks a way for herself, and for all of us, to take back and to make right in a time of unsettling ecological change.

Download or read book Restoration of Puget Sound Rivers written by David R. Montgomery and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent listing of Pacific salmon under the Endangered Species Act has led to substantial interest in the scientific basis for river restoration in the Pacific Northwest. Millions of dollars in state and federal funding have been programmed for habitat restoration efforts to stem the decline of salmon populations in the region. This volume addresses the need for a solid understanding of fluvial processes and aquatic ecology in order to predict both river and salmonid response to restoration projects. In the Pacific Northwest, as in most regions of the United States, we are still learning about the processes that create habitat and river structure, how those processes influence aquatic ecosystems, and how to gauge the response of river systems to both land-use changes and restoration efforts. River systems are still responding to historic changes, and degraded habitat may not be restored successfully if natural conditions are not well understood, particularly if massive changes in watershed hydrology or other processes are the root cause. These issues faced in the development of regional river restoration programs are by no means unique to the Northwest, and so the initiation of a regional program of river restoration provides an opportunity to evaluate the state of river restoration in general. The eighteen chapters of Restoration of Puget Sound Rivers--presented by the region's experts at a symposium of the Society for Ecological Restoration--examine geological and geomorphological controls on river and stream characteristics and dynamics, biological aspects of river systems in the region, and the application of fluvial geomorphology, civil engineering, riparian ecology, and aquatic ecology in efforts to restore Puget Sound Rivers. This volume will be of interest to geomorphologists, aquatic biologists, civil engineers, planners, and all those interested in the interface of science and policy in addressing one of the fundamental environmental challenges of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Snoqualmie Pass written by Yvonne Prater and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 1982-12-31 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Filled with historical photographs * Includes excerpts from diaries, newspaper files, community histories, and personal interviews The highway through Washington's Cascades at Snoqualmie Pass is one of the most heavily used mountain transportation routes in the country. Yet, within sight of its concrete ribbons, one can find sections of the primitive wagon road that brought prairie-state settlers through the pass to open up the Puget Sound country. Traces can still be found of an even earlier route, the trail used by the Indians for hunting and trading. Others traveled the pass as civilization moved West: fur traders, miners, military horse columns, cattle drovers, farmers, precursors of today's land developers. A little ferryboat once crossed Lake Keechelus to link up the wagon road; then logging and dam building altered the lake forever. The coming of the automobile; the establishment of two railways and then subsequent waves of highway construction brought the pass into the modern era, which also saw the birth of the ski resort in the Northwest. This is the story of the evolution of the Snoqualmie Pass, from narrow Indian trail to multi-laned Interstate 90, and of the people who took part along the way. For the hundreds who drive through the pass daily, for the countless thousands more who have skied, hiked, snowshoed and climbed in this alpine playground, it's a fascinating tale.
