SHAWNEE TRAIL CONSERVANCY PO BOX 44 EDDYVILLE, IL 62928 March 2006
Newsletter editor, Dorothy Arjes 10 Packentuck Rd, Ozark, IL 62072 618-777-0296
From the Desk of the President: This newsletter contains some very important information for trail riders of the Shawnee Forest. And things “will be a changin'”. But we need to look further down the trail and realize that more changes will be coming unless everyone who rides horses bands together and gets politically involved. Those of us who live in the Shawnee spend many hours of donated time to fight for access by all. But we are only a few people and can’t do it alone. We are up against “anti-access” people who want horses out entirely. They have been lobbying in Washington, DC for years with this result in mind. In fact the local Sierra Club is pushing for enlarging the Wildernesses in the Shawnee so that restrictions can be put on access to a larger area of the forest. Trail riders, wake up and realize that you must get your horse-show friends, and any others you can to contact your own legislators and tell them enough already. We have a right to be the forests the same as hikers, but these anti-access people are very organized and very political. They know how to work the system. It is time we use their own methods against their scare tactics. This fight will not go away any time soon, all rights given by the constitution must be fought to keep, or we no longer are a democracy. Shake off your complacency and join our fight. It will benefit all people in the long run. Your grandchildren will thank you for it when they are riding down the same trails you have ridden! Editor’s Message: I’m sitting down to work on this after hiking in the forest near our home.
I was able to walk cross-country because it’s still cool out; the ticks and snakes haven’t
made a strong appearance. Once warm weather sets in, the only way hikers can really get out
and enjoy the forest will be on well-used trails. I know I won’t be walking cross-country
anymore when it warms up. Nor would I encourage any of my friends to do so. web site at: Shawnee Forest Website or call the Forest Supervisor's office at 618-253-7114 for a hard copy.
******************** ******************** SHAWNEE NATIONAL FOREST TRAILS DESIGNATION PROJECT [This is a brief summary of what is proposed taken from the Record of Decision, Trails Designation Project (Phase 1) in Gallatin, Hardin, Johnson, Pope and Saline Counties, Illinois (Eastern Shawnee National Forest), February 2006. It is hoped that people will realize that this Trails Designation Project is an Amendment to the 1992 Forest Plan and not considered a new Trails Plan. According to the 2006 Trails Record of Decision, page 31, “The complete absence of any public comment on the NFMA (National Forest Management Act) significance issue indicates that the public understands and accepts the nature of the amendments proposed.” From my understanding, if you sent in a comment on the trails issue during the comment period or attended the Forest Service’s Open House (and signed in) regarding the Trails’ issue, then you can send in an appeal.] 1. Designated Trails Equestrian use will be allowed only on the designated trail system and will continue to be allowed on the public road system. This decision amends the (’92) Forest Plan to eliminate previous corridor locations and construction priorities, and to restrict equestrian use to the designated system. Some trails proposed in this alternative are dependent on acquisition of easements. 2. Closure of Non-system Trails About 165 miles of non-system trails not adopted into the designated system will be closed. 3. Least Brook Lamprey Stream-Crossing Closures In the Lusk Creek Wilderness, two stream-crossings where least brook lampreys are known to spawn will be closed from March 15 to May 15 to protect developing lamprey eggs. 4. Hiker-Only Trails About 19 miles of hiker-only trails will be provided in the project area. 5. Private Land Access Requests for special-use permits for access to the trail system from private land will be accepted and considered in the future. 6. Trailheads and Parking Areas As outlined in the Selected Alternative, five new trailheads and one new parking area are authorized. Total horse-trailer capacity under the Selected Alternative is 50, with a potential capacity (if all deferred areas were built) of 70 horse trailers. 7. Natural Area Trails System trails would be designated in Jackson Hollow Ecological Area (easement-dependent), and theree will be five additional stream-crossings of the Lusk Creek Zoological Area. A system trail will also be designated in Double Branch Hole Ecological Area as proposed in Alternative 3. 8. Elimination of Trail-Density Standards in the 1992 Forest Plan Trail-density standards in the project area will be eliminated in order to provide a quality trail system, allowing reasonable levels of recreation access while protecting resources. This action will amend the 1992 Forest Plan. 9. Stock-Confinement Areas Confinement of stock in designated areas will reduce the environmental impact of stack use throughout the project area. Many will be reduced in size and moved to a new location. 10. Wilderness Resources A. Proposed Wilderness Trail System Wilderness trail miles in the Selected Alternative (49 miles) are reduced from the level proposed in the DEIS Preferred Alternative (58 miles), while providing access to most of the scenic places. The trail system mileage in the Lusk Creek Wilderness was reduced to restore, enhance, and protect the natural condition and increase opportunities for solitude in the wilderness. This decision involves a non-significant amendment of the Forest Plan for wilderness trail-signing standards, and wilderness trail design and maintenance standards. B. Wilderness Group-Size There will be a limit of no more than ten users per group in wilderness, which will improve the recreation experience for most users. This applies to both equestrians and hikers. This action involves a non-significant amendment of the Forest Plan. C. Temporary Wilderness Seasonal Closures and Wet-Weather Closures All wilderness areas in the watersheds will be closed to equestrian use from December 1 – March 31. The Lusk Creek Wilderness will be closed for a minimum 24 hours following a one-inch rainfall during April, May, September, October and November. These temporary closures are designed to protect the trails until they are brought up to Forest Service standard. As individual trail segments are brought up to standard these segments will be opened to all season use and will not be subject to either closure. D. Wilderness Stock-Confinement Areas Many stock-confinement areas are relocated or reduced in size to limit adverse effects on wilderness. E. Wilderness-Saltpeter Cave and Natural Bridge Area The two existing stock-confinement areas at Saltpeter Cave and Natural Bridge Area are relocated to one area in a pine plantation east of Natural Bridge. The trail by Saltpeter Cave and Natural Bridge is designated as a ride-through-only trail. 11. Outfitting – Guiding Permits Special-use Permits would be issued or re-issued for commercial outfitting and guiding. These permits re required for equestrian campgrounds that use the Shawnee National Forest and that meet the definition of outfitting and guiding set forth in 36 CFR 251.50 and the Shawnee National Forest supplement to the Forest Service Handbook (FSH 2709.11_40). These permits establish partnership opportunities with the local campgrounds that provide access for many Forest visitors. 12. Enforcement and Monitoring Monitoring and enforcement are important components of the Selected Alternative. Protection of resources and user satisfaction with the trail system will be monitored. Enforcement is necessary to ensure that visitors use the trail system as intended. Trails Designation Project (Phase 1) Implementation From Hurston A. Nicholas in the Record of Decision "In the first year of implementation, all available designated trails will be marked as open and maps will be developed for public use. Concurrently, construction, reconstruction and maintenance activities will commence on the designated system. I anticipate it could take up to 6 years to complete the signing, construction and maintenance of 224 miles of system trails. Work in and around the Lusk Creek Wilderness, the other wildernesses and natural areas will have the highest priority for the Hidden Springs Ranger District. I expect this work to be accomplished in the first two years. The Bay Creek watershed would have the next priority, with routes in Eagle Creek and Big Grand Pierre Creek watersheds following. The map of the Selected Alternative included with the Appendix A shows the trail system that I have decided to implement with this decision. We will not be able to open all of the trails immediately because it will take some time to construct and reroute individual trails and trail segments. In the interim period, I will allow continued use of some existing non-system trails (interim trails) with the newly selected designated trails. A Forest Supervisor’s Order will be issued that authorizes equestrians to ride only on designated trails, interim trails and the road system. The Order will be accompanied by a map that will show currently open, designated and interim trails and roads. Each year in March, we will issue an updated Order, with a corresponding map, that will include newly constructed trails that will replace interim trails. In the Lusk Creek Wilderness, we will use some trails that were permitted in the March 2005 Court order while corresponding trails segments are constructed or reconstructed. Interim non-system trails and Court-ordered trails included in the Order will be closed and rehabilitated as construction is completed on corresponding trail segments. I am convinced that by making this change to a designated trail system, with mapped trail locations, proper signing and scheduled maintenance, we will provide a sustainable trail system. This trail system will ensure the protection of resources, improve the recreational experience for most visitors, and contribute to economic stability. Our approach undoubtedly will diminish the riding experience for some, be just right for others, and be a challenge for a number of users. ****************** 379 Fairgrounds Rd Metropolis, IL 62960 Dear Editor... Horses have over a $39 BILLION impact on our economy. Forces are determined to severely limit horse access to public lands, including the Shawnee National Forest. As the horse goes, so will the trails, so will a big chunk of the economy and so will a whole lot of awesome pleasure for seniors, families hikers, birders, etc. Right now, horse trails use less than 0.5% of the SNF soil. The new SNF plan, 2/06 RECORD OF DECISION, cuts trails to less than half, severely restricts use on what’s left to achieve balance between desires of non-equestrians and equestrians.... 99.75 % to less 0.25% is balance???? In the 9/05 SNF Draft Environmental Impact Statement Trails Designation Project, Page 40 states, "Horseback riding is valid historical use of project area.” Page 70, "Horse manure contributes negligible amounts of plant limiting nutrients to the adjacent streams.” Page 79, "Stream habitat affected by trail crossings is small relative to total acres of stream Habitat." IEPA rated all streams in PA as full support, "the highest rating.” Page 63, "There is no direct and minimal indirect affects from cross country riding.” "FS has done very little trail maintenance" Page 168, "Many trails were kept opened by stock use, closing them would eventually close them to everyone. Pages 63-64, “bare, compacted area exposed by existing trails roads, etc. is less than 0.5% of project watersheds, well below the 15% threshold for potential reduction in soil quality and is not affected by horse trails.” This DEIS TDP clearly proves that in spite of little to no-maintenance during the 80 years of being the SNF, the forest is in amazing good health, well able to heal the damage of man, machines and beasts prior to and since, the purchase of the homesteads which made SNF.... and PROVES NO NEED TO CLOSE HALF THE TRAILS, NO NEED FOR WINTER AND RAIN CLOSURES as described in the 2/06 ROD. Even if you don't ride, you still should protest this blatant injustice..... ****************** Doing an Appeal This is what was printed in the Southern Illinoisan on March 7th and is part of the instruction from page 34 of the Record of Decision on the 2006 Trails Project: This decision is subject to appeal in accordance with 36 CFR 215.7 (Legal Notice of Decision) or 36 CFR 251 Subpart C (Land Use).

Please help get the word out about this meeting. The IL Conservation Forum will be held in Springfield April 8, 2006 starting at 8 AM. The candidates for IL governor will speak and field questions. Contact Sandy Poletti at 618-656-4712 or email at sandypoletti@sbcglobal.net ******************** SHAWNEE TRAIL CONSERVANCY MEETINGS October 2005 saw the election of officers and directors. The updated list is in this newsletter. Three forest service personnel were invited to answer questions at that meeting: Tim Pohlman, Matt Lechner and Jeff Seefeld. The Lusk Creek wilderness closure from Dec 1st to Mar 1st was discussed. All 4 wildernesses will be closed during that time for all riders, not just campground patrons. As you now know, that time frame has been extended to Mar 31st. Trail maintenance and designation was discussed. The Forest Service had found funding to remove some trees on the River to River. There wasn’t a business meeting at the Dec 2005 Annual Christmas party. Jan 19, 2006 saw a new shape to the STC meeting. Sue Perina put in many appreciated years as secretary for STC. Thank you, Sue for all the work you did for STC even while you were ITR’s president. Patti Laubscher is now secretary. We, also, appreciate Nancy Perisho’s many years as STC’s treasurer. Thank you, Nancy, for doing all that work so well!! Terrilyn Heywood has assumed the duties of Treasurer since Jan 1st, 2006. Not only were the Secretary and Treasurer reports read and approved, but also various committees that have been established reported in as to what has transpired since the last official meeting in October. The Legal Committee reported that campgrounds no longer needed to name the Forest Service on their insurance policies unless they offer guiding or horse rental services. The Financial Committee did an audit of the Treasurer’s records with no discrepancies found. The Membership Committee has been sending out renewal letters to help update the membership list. At the meeting it was decided to change the dues schedule to go by the calendar year starting Jan 1st. Any new member joining in the last quarter of the year will be a member the following year. The Horse Fair Committee was looking for volunteers to help with the STC booth. It was decided to do a raffle again with the first prize being a saddle or $500 and the second prize being a GPS. The Public Relations Committee would like to focus on legislators, since they are the true decision-makers in regards to the Shawnee Forest. As part of that, it was suggested that everyone support the Right-to-Ride legislation by contacting the Am Horse Council, Farm Bureau, and any other organizations to which they belong to urge lobbyist support from these groups. Numerous ideas were submitted for a Fund Raising Committee to act upon. A calendar depicting the Shawnee Forest is being worked on at present. Hayes Canyon Campground has sent a letter to the new owners of Peter’s Cave and thanked them for continuing to allow trail riders to visit. John Mason has volunteered to talk to the group regarding ATV’s. He will be invited to speak at the April meeting. The second 2006 STC Meeting convened on Feb 16th at Dolly’s Place, Vienna, IL. The Newsletter status for the Jan, Feb, Mar issue is on hold pending the Trails Designation Project release from the Forest Service. All committees have been moving ahead with their projects. Garry Jenkins reported the recently released decision to close all equine trails in the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, affecting the Panther’s Den and Devil’s Kitchen areas. The River-to-River trail will be re-routed onto roads where it passed through these areas. Garry reports that the decision makers and politicians received very weak input from equestrians (receiving only 2-4 phone calls), but received strong support and many calls from those opposing stock use of the trails. The Greenways and Trails meeting was held recently and a fall conference in Southern Illinois is in the planning stages. The topic will be how trails would bring economic development to Southern Illinois. Those attending (Sue Perina and Ann Scrivano) reported that initially the group focused on bicycle use, but that the STC members attending prompted discussion of multi-use by hikers, bikers and equestrians. Shorts: The Ohio Valley Equestrian Rails Symposium will be on Apr 27-30th at Wrangler’s Camp in Land Between the Lakes. Linda Granneman will be taking over the web site maintenance. Ideas for a new STC logo have been presented. An overview of the Trails Trotters program was given. The Wilderness Designation Act of 1990 and its implications were discussed. ********************
Trails & Greenways Conference
By Sue PerinaAnn Scrivano and I went to the Trails & Greenways Conference meeting in Mt. Vernon. As usual, it was mostly about bikes. Initially, we kind of wondered what we were doing there, but we did get in our shots for equestrians and other users. By the time we left, they seemed to be more open-minded and included us. Whether it goes any farther, remains to be seen. I do feel that if we want to be included in the planning we should be there and keep reminding them of our existence. Ann brought up several good ideas, which made me think we presented a new perspective on things for them. We both agreed we were glad that we went (even though it was a beautiful day and we would rather have been riding). Anyway the Trails & Greenways conference will be in Sep (tentatively the 15th) and the theme will be Rural Development. Ann and I both tried to empathize what a wide-open field that was for Southern Illinois. I don't know if Ann or I can make it. Also, keep in mind that the National Trails Conference is Oct 8th in the Quad Cities. It would be good to have someone present representing equestrians. It is usually in California or somewhere far away so this would be a lot closer. Maybe we should start discussing that soon. ****************** Trail Trotters’ Day Launch 2006 Do you enjoy showing, driving, endurance riding, foxhunting, or simply a leisurely trail ride? It is time for anyone who sits in a saddle – or buggy – to get involved in caring for the land they ride or drive across by participating in a Trail Trotters’ Day Project on June 3, 2006. Sponsored by the Equestrian Land Conservation Resource, Trail Trotters’ Day is held in conjunction with National Trails Day. Trail Trotters’ Day projects demonstrate that horseback riders truly care about becoming good stewards for the land that they use. Trail Trotters’ Day will collect data from across the country and make it available for everyone to use. If you already have a project or workday scheduled for the first Saturday of June, make it count by registering for Trail Trotters. If you are looking for a project, visit ELCR Organization and click on the Trail Trotters' Day link on the homepage. Following the completion of Trail Trotters’ Day projects, ELCR will gather information from each effort and submit it to an independent panel of judges who will determine the recipients of nine regional awards (one for each of the U.S. Forest Service regions) and one national award. The awards will be given to the Trail Trotters' Day projects that sustain our natural resources most effectively and reflect community involvement in the process. The Trail Trotters' Day National Stewardship Award, 2006, will be selected from the Trail Trotter regional award winners and will convey a $1,000 prize. Projects must adhere to the Award Guidelines to be eligible for this competition. Complete award guidelines can be found on www.elcr.org. For questions or assistance in registering, contact ELCR at info@elcr.org or telephone the office at 815-858-3501. Don’t let this opportunity slip by – be counted so that riders can gain recognition for being responsible stewards of the land. ****************** All members are invited to our regular meetings held every 3rd Thursday of the month at 7 PM. These are usually held at Dolly’s Place in Vienna. You may come a little early and join others for a delicious supper. STC THANKS ITS SUPPORTERS!
STC wishes to thank our great many generous supporters of STC for their memberships
and monetary donations in helping us deal with the problems in the Shawnee National
Forest. Even though we do not look for court actions involving lawyers, someone
has to be there when the preservationalists bring suits against our recreational
use of public lands. We can only be there if we have the funding behind us.
