Archibald Stansfeld Belaney, Wa-sha-quon-asin, or Grey Owl from the Ojibwe. Although english, he spent the latter years of his life with Iroquois Gertrude Bernard (whom he later called Anahareo) under the guise of Grey Owl, working for the Canadian Parks. In his articles, books, and films he promoted the idea of environmentalism and nature conservation. In 1931, He wrote several articles for the Canadian Forestry Association (CFA) publication Forests and Outdoors His life, although it was somewhat romanticised was made into the film by Richard Attenborough (who had seen Grey Owl on his visit to England in 1935-1937) Pierce Brosnan does a very honest portrait of the complex man... who was ahead of his time in his campaigning for the stopping of the rape of our mother earth for financial greed and gain by a minority ruling class. Now, more than ever his words that some things are not for sale, has an ominous ring like that of the bell that tolls for humanity as it now stands at the abyss. May we follow his lead , be it more than 70 years later by confirming that we are the children of this earth, not the lords of it, and act accordingly.

Relentless in his pursuit to save endangered species across the globe since 1952, the world’s pre-eminent field biologist, George B. Schaller, Ph.D., has been named the 2008 recipient of the Indianapolis Prize, the world’s leading award for animal conservation. In recognition for his lifetime achievements, Dr. Schaller will receive $100,000 and the Lilly Medal at a gala ceremony presented by the AES Corporation and hosted by award-winning actress and environmentalist Jane Alexander on Sept. 27, 2008, in Indianapolis. As Senior Conservationist for the Wildlife Conservation Society, Dr. Schaller’s successes are numerous, including his recent work with the endangered Tibetan antelope or chiru – at times slaughtered for its exquisite wool used to make shahtoosh shawls. He trekked a thousand miles across Tibet’s rugged Chang Tang Reserve to study the chiru, wild yak and other wildlife and make recommendations to the Chinese government. Schaller now strives to save Marco Polo sheep, snow leopards and other wildlife and assist the nomadic local people in achieving a measure of harmony between rangelands, livestock and wildlife. He is also working to create an international peace park in the four corners of Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and Tajikistan.

The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is located just a few miles west of Las Vegas and encompasses 197,000 acres within the Mojave Desert. Red Rock is an area of worldwide geologic interest and beauty. The most significant geologic feature of Red Rock Canyon is the Keystone Thrust Fault. A thrust fault is a fracture in the earth's crust where one rock plate is thrust horizontally over another. About 65 million years ago, it is believed that two of the earth's crustal plates collided with such force that part of one plate was shoved up and over younger sandstones. This thrust contact is clearly defined by the sharp contrast between the grey limestones and the red sandstones. The Keystone Thrust Fault extends from the Cottonwoood Fault (along the Pahrump Highway) 13 miles northward to the vicinity of La Madre Mountain, where it is obscured by more complex faulting. Rock art within Red Rock comes in two varieties, petroglyphs and pictographs. The difference between the two types is the manner in which they were made. Petroglyphs were pecked into the surface of the rock. Pictographs were painted on the rock. In Red Rock Canyon a coating of dark "desert varnish" on lighter sandstone provides the perfect medium for petroglyphs, which are the most common of the two types of rock art found at Red Rock. If you want to discover some petroglyphs firsthand, the Red Spring area has a wide variety of different styles on the cliff faces and fallen boulders. (The above information was taken from the following websites: http://www.desertusa.com/redrock/ and http://www.redrockcanyonlv.org/ ) The song is “Lost Highway” by Bon Jovi

More than 150 trail enthusiasts celebrated the 16th annual National Trails Day, June 7, at Scotts Run Nature Preserve, Fairfax County, Va., with the launch of the Nature Valley® Save the Trails™ grant program. The grant program is contributing $50,000 to double the size of the American Hiking Society's National Trails Fund, which provides annual monies for organizations across the United States to preserve trails. With support from Nature Valley, the 2009 National Trails Fund will award 10 non-profit organizations $5,000 to restore designated trails in their local communities. Interested parties can apply for a grant by visiting www.wheresyours.com or www.americanhiking.org. Applications are due Aug. 15, 2008; selected entries will be posted online for general public voting. For four consecutive years, Nature Valley's Save the Trails program has also provided funding for Student Conservation Association trail preservation efforts. Nature Valley committed an additional $350,000 this year for a total of $400,000 dedicated towards trail restoration. The contribution will enable more than 60 students to make the environment a priority by committing their summer vacations to repair trails in Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks. In total, Nature Valley has committed $450,000 to trail restoration this year. "We're grateful Nature Valley is contributing to the American Hiking Society's National Trails Fund," said Gregory A. Miller, President for the American Hiking Society. "Nature Valley's support is not only doubling the size of the grant program, it's a testament to the company's commitment to trail conservation and community activism. Together, we are spreading the message of preserving both trails and the access they provide to our nation's pristine park lands." Since its inception in 1998, the National Trails Fund has granted nearly $340,000 to 89 different trail projects across the United States. Community preservation efforts include land acquisition, constituency building campaigns and a variety of trail work projects. With more than 200,000 miles of trails in the United States, the National Trails Fund is the only national private grants program that helps U.S. trail-maintaining organizations build and improve hiking trails and galvanize volunteers to ensure long-term trail sustainability.
