SPORTS & OUTDOORS Governor Phil Scott Joins Nation’s Governors to Launch Outdoor Recreation Learning Network to Promote Economic Growth The National Governors Association (NGA) announced Wednesday the launch of the Outdoor Recreation Learning Network to help governors and their staffs leverage their unique natural, cultural and historical resources to advance economic, workforce, health and environmental benefits. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that the outdoors industry employed more than 4.5 million people nationally in 2016, and generated more than $730 billion in economic impact. Vermont outdoor recreation accounts for 34,000 direct jobs and brings $2.5 billion into the economy. “As my administration thought about how to grow our economy, it became clear we could do more by leveraging our natural and recreational assets – those closely aligned with our outdoor recreation brand,” said Governor Scott. “In 2017 I established the Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative by executive order to advise me and my administration on how to enhance outdoor business opportunities, improve participation, strengthen our recreation infrastructure, protect our natural resources, and grow Vermont’s economy,” Governor Scott said. “While we have made progress, there is so much more we can do and we’re looking forward to hearing from other Governors and states here to learn more because it’s so important to our economy and the overall health of our communities – and ultimately a part of our identity as Vermonters,” Governor Scott added. NGA Solutions: The Center for Best Practices will partner with state outdoor recreation directors through the network to convene governors’ office staffs and other state officials. Through peer-to-peer exchanges, the network will spotlight strategies states can use to advance outdoor recreation. It will focus on key issue areas, including conservation, stewardship, education, workforce training, economic development, infrastructure, public health, equity and wellness. Governors launched the network at NGA’s annual Summer Meeting, where state leaders share best practices and hear from experts in various fields. This year, the meeting was held in Salt Lake City, Utah, from July 24-26. Participants included Utah Governor Gary Herbert, Maine Governor Janet Mills, Oregon Governor Kate Brown, Vermont Governor Phil Scott, Montana Governor Steve Bullock, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak and outdoor recreation directors from many states. The launch was held at the Natural History Museum of Utah’s Rio Tinto Center at the University of Utah and included a guided walk in nearby Red Butte Garden featuring a narration by Dr. David Strayer of the University of Utah, a leading researcher in the cognitive Forest Service Works to Heighten Awareness, Offers Bear Safety Tips to Recreation Users Forest Service officials in Vermont announced today that they have had several reports of bear sightings, bears approaching and entering shelters and some reports of bears aggressively getting into backpacks in an attempt to find food. This week the agency began posting alert notices at trail shelters and at developed campsites to notify recreation users about the recent spike in bear activity on the Manchester Ranger District of the Green Mountain National Forest. The Forest Service says it has had numerous reports of bear sightings throughout the months of June and July. Reports of human encounters with black bears continue to increase across the Green Mountain National Forest. While many visitors and campers never encounter a bear, the Forest is their home and bears can quickly become habituated to human food and waste. In recent weeks, numerous incidents of bears looking for food have been reported by visitors. It is vital that people recreating on the Forest keep a clean campsite to ensure that bears and other animals don’t forage for your food. Be sure to properly store all food, and odorous items, including toothpaste, condiments such as ketchup and mustard, food wrappers, and anything else that may attract bears. Improperly stored food not only attracts bears to people currently camping at a site, but lets the bear know that it can find food at that campsite in the future. The bear may return to the site when other families are recreating there. Too many times, visitors believe they have stored their food safely, but in reality have left it within a bear’s reach. Bears are meant to be wild and feeding them creates negative consequences for them. Bears that get too used to people may eventually have to be killed to ensure your safety. Peregrine Falcon Nesting Season Complete Hikers and rock climbers can return to Vermont cliffs starting August 1 now that peregrine falcon nesting season has ended. The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department has confirmed that all the young falcons have learned to fly and will not be disturbed by human presence on the cliffs. “The young peregrines have fledged, and nesting data suggest Vermont falcons had a successful year. A final report will be issued later this year,” said Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s bird biologist Doug Morin. “The falcon’s nesting success is due in large part to the hikers and rock climbers who observe a respectful distance from nesting falcons during this critical period. The nesting success of Vermont’s peregrines would not be possible without the more than 50 volunteers who monitor the nest sites statewide from March to the end of July.” According to Audubon biologist Margaret • • • • • • benefits of outdoor recreation. “This effort hearkens back to the founding of the organization,” observed Nikki Guilford, NGA interim executive director and chief of staff. “In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt hosted the first meeting of the nation’s governors at the White House to discuss conserving America’s natural resources.” Following that inaugural meeting, governors decided to form an association through which they could come together to discuss mutual concerns and act collectively. The founding sponsors of the Outdoor Recreation Learning Network include REI Co-op, the Outdoor Industry Association and the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable. “At REI Co-op, we believe a life outdoors is a life welllived. So, we applaud NGA’s launch of the Outdoor Recreation Learning Network. And we’re grateful to the dozen-plus states that have created offices of outdoor recreation, as well as to states considering them,” said Eric Artz, REI’s president and CEO. “There are tremendous opportunities for maximizing the social and economic benefits of time outdoors – whether that’s improving stewardship, access, equity, youth development or health outcomes.” “We have seen states with offices of outdoor recreation take great steps forward promoting and bolstering outdoor recreation – bringing more jobs and revenue to rural and gateway communities and coordinating amongst government agencies while helping to get more children and families outside and into healthier lifestyles,” said David Weinstein, state and local policy director for Outdoor Industry Association. “The Outdoor Recreation Learning Network will be a great resource for existing outdoor recreation offices and for states looking to develop new offices to collaborate on and improve outdoor programs and initiatives – OIA looks forward to helping build it.” “Outdoor recreation is a crucial part of America’s economy, contributing 2.2 percent of the gross domestic product and growing faster than the economy as a whole,” said Jessica Wahl, president of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable. “ORR is proud to partner with the National Governors Association to launch the game-changing Outdoor Recreation Learning Network. This partnership will ensure that the outdoor recreation sector has the support it needs to continue to grow in states across the country, providing outdoor access for all, jobs, and health and quality of life benefits for generations to come.” For more information about the Outdoor Recreation Learning Network, see www.nga.org/outdoors. Following safe food storage practices protects both you and the bears. It is your responsibility to ensure your safety and that of future campers by not purposefully or inadvertently feeding bears. It is illegal in the State of Vermont to feed bears. So remember: • Always keep a clean camp. • Don’t leave any food (including condiments) out when not in use. • Store food in bear-resistant units, hard-shelled vehicles or car trunks. • Keep sleeping areas, tents, and sleeping bags free of food and odor (like toothpaste or deodorant). • Don’t sleep in clothes you cooked or handled fish or game in. • Never bury or burn food waste. • If camping in the backcountry, hang your food bag at least 10 feet off the ground and 5 feet out from a tree limb that could support a bear, or better yet pack and use bear resistant containers. • If possible, in backcountry areas, place sleeping tents at least 100 yards away from food storage and cooking areas. • If hiking with a dog keep it on a leash or leave it home. Persons should report bear sightings or damage caused by bears to their nearest Vermont Fish & Wildlife office (802) 828-1000 or a local Vermont State Game Warden at (802) 442-5421 prior to taking any control action on their own. Vermont Fish & Wildlife personnel will recommend appropriate measures or control strategies that can alleviate bear related problems. Fowle, who coordinates the monitoring effort on behalf of the Fish & Wildlife Department, biologists and volunteers monitored peregrine pairs that occupied at least 55 Vermont cliffs in early spring and summer. “We greatly appreciate the time and effort volunteers put in to monitoring the population this year, and we thank landowners and recreationists for their cooperation in protecting nesting peregrines from human disturbance,” said Fowle. Vermont Fish & Wildlife and Audubon Vermont partner to monitor and protect peregrine nesting sites in Vermont. Peregrine falcons were removed from the state’s Threatened and Endangered Species List in 2005. Ongoing cooperation from recreationists and continued monitoring efforts by Vermont Fish & Wildlife and Audubon Vermont will help ensure the peregrine’s remarkable recovery in future years.
