Middle Falls, #Letchworth State Park, #New_York #GeneseeRiver #photography #SupportPublicLands
The Letchworth Park's gardeners and arborists framed the stone stairway to the path by Middle Falls. It makes it feel like a portal to another world, maybe Middle Earth.

Here is a story that does not bode well for the refuge system.

Basically— energy (corporations) over conservation.

“Officials say the withdrawal supports President Trump’s Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American Energy,” of January 2025.”

Shale #cliffs along the #GeneseeRiver, #Letchworth State Park, #NewYork #photography #SupportPublicLands #blackandwhite #monochrome #geology
Highly eroded cliffs line this section of the Genesee River. The cliffs are mostly layers of shale. The shapes remind me of those we have seen in the Chinle and Moenkopi formations on the Colorado Plateau. A good video about the geology of Letchworth is at the URL. https://youtu.be/bAPRhRE4cOw?si=HCUlVWN0N00U-oPE

Next year's butterfly banquet and caterpillar cafeteria waiting to open up new diners. #milkweed #seedpods #photography #SupportPublicLands
Three mature milkweed seed pods are sun drying their husks, waiting for fall and winter winds and storms to open them, and spread their fluffy seeds all around Saranac Lake. The photo was taken while we were walking on the rails-to-trails park. There were many native plants growing beside it These were growing on the causeway across the lake.

Oldies but goodies. Circa 1999.

You take the high #bridge, and I'll take the low bridge. #HockingHills #StatePark #Ohio #photography #SupportPublicLands
We took both bridges across Old Man's Creek. First we crossed the A-frame upper bridge; then later on the hike we crossed the sculptural bridge. Each step on the lower concrete bridge is separate from the next and supported by its own pillar. I especially like the way that the design mirrors the curve of the overhanging sandstone. The upper bridge is made of wood and steel trusses. More information about the lower bridge is at the URL. https://bridgestunnels.com/2023/12/12/rebuilding-hocking-hills-old-mans-creek-bridge/

A stone wall along the #trail and the road at #Letchworth State Park, #NewYork. #B&W #monochrome #SupportPublicLands
A curving stone wall borders the hiking trail and the road above the gorge at Letchworth. Much of the stonework at the park like so many other parks was done in the 1930 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The museum at the park has an excellent room on the CCC's legacy at the park. Many of our state and national parks benefitted from this progressive program to help families during the Great Depression. See if there were CCC programs near you. https://ccclegacy.org/camp-lists

If you hike on a trail in #Indiana you might see a log or a stump with a "W" carved into it. The story of the "W" is in the ALT text. #hiking #trail #autumn #photography #SupportPublicLands
This photo of a hiking trail in early autum has a log with a "W" carved into it with a chainsaw. It took The Hoosier Hikers Council 3 years to build this trail. Many deadfalls had to be cleared from the route and almost all of them were cleared by Phil W. Phil volunteered with the HHC for over 20 years and would usually leave his mark on one tree on a trail. There are trails all over the state with Phil's "W". Phil died a couple of weeks ago. So if you see a "W" on a tree that has been cleared off of a trail in Indiana, think kindly of Phil and enjoy his work.

The Civilian Conservation Corps, #CCC, built this #bridge across the gorge below the Lower Falls of the #GeneseeRiver in #Letchworth State Park, #NewYork during the #GreatDepression. #photography #SupportPublicLands #waterfall
A stone bride spans a river. Two people are on the bridge looking at the falls. The bridge is about 100 feet (30 m) long. It is the only way to cross the river inside the park. This is another example of the CCC's work on public lands. The arch was built by first erecting wooden trusses to support the stonework. The museum at the park has a good photo display of the bridge's construction.

Big win! President Biden will designate two new national monuments in CA: the 644,000-acre Chuckwalla near Joshua Tree and the 200,000-acre Sáttítla near the Oregon border, protecting tribal lands and vital ecosystems. #Conservation #PublicLands

Public Lands instill a deep sense of peace in me. I am so grateful that our government stewards had the foresight and determination to set aside open space for conservation and recreation. #supportpubliclands #utah #blm

Democracy takes courage! Our ancestors should not have died in vain defeating fascism. Democracy is a dynamic work in progress; it is a trajectory towards perfection. Support the voices who speak truth. Learn how to identify truth. Government is not the enemy. The people who are running it are.

Tahoma has been here and will be here well past the inanity of the current administration. In the meantime, these lands of the Puyallup people are a perfect place to find some joy as an act of resistance.
