Trans-Pecos Pipeline – Not In Our Big Bend. Commenting
during the FERC EA Scoping phase was a resounding success. More than 300
comments came in during this phase and we now have more than 624 total
comments on the docket… that’s more than any other natural gas projects on
all the FERC dockets in 2015! As far as FERC activity is concerned, we
now await their decision. In the meantime, here’s what you can do to help on other
fronts: http://defendbigbend.blogspot.com/2015/09/ways-to-help.html

Big Bend National Park Welcomes 4th Grade
Students Through “Every Kid In a Park” Initiative. Big Bend National Park invites all 4th grade
students to visit the park for free as part of the White House’s new Every
Kid in a Park program. Starting
September 1, 4th grade students can now go to www.everykidinapark.gov to complete an
activity and obtain a free annual entry pass to more than 2,000 federal
recreation areas, including national parks. "We’re offering a special invitation to fourth graders and
their families to discover not only Big Bend National Park, but all our
national parks. During the National
Park Service’s 2016 Centennial celebration, we want everyone to get out and
explore these national treasures,” said Superintendent Cindy Ott-Jones. “We hope these free passes will introduce 4th
graders, their classes, and families to places where they can explore, play,
and learn.”
To receive their free pass for national parks, fourth
graders can visit the Every Kid in a Park
website
and play a game to access their special Every Kid in a Park pass. Fourth graders and their families can then
use this pass for free entry to national parks and other federal public lands
and waters across the country from September 1, 2015, through August 31,
2016.
Mark
your calendars for National Public Lands Day Saturday, September 26th, 2015,
at Big Bend National Park. National Public Lands Day is a chance to
join with others to support public lands, and to volunteer on a park
improvement project. All volunteers
receive free entrance to the national park, camaraderie, and a fun-filled
day!
Big Bend National Park staff will host a volunteer
project on September 26th cutting brush in the Chisos Basin. This is part of an ongoing fuel reduction project
that helps protect park facilities in the event of a wildfire. The brush that is cut during National
Public Lands Day will be transported to a site in the northern part of the
park, where it will be used to help control erosion and re-establish grasses
in historically heavily impacted areas.
The project is free and open to the public. Volunteers and park staff will meet in the
Chisos Basin parking lot (CCC Pavilion) at 8:30 am. The park will provide volunteers with
tools, work shirts, gloves and water.
Please call Daphne Sewing at 432-477-1110 (Daphne_Sewing@nps.gov) for
more information.
Vaporized! NPS Director Jonathan
Jarvis issued a policy memorandum Monday prohibiting the use of electronic
smoking devices in all places where tobacco smoking is prohibited in national
parks. The policy is effective immediately. “Protecting the health and safety
of our visitors and employees is one of the most critical duties of the
National Park Service. We are therefore extending the restrictions currently
in place protecting visitors and employees from exposure to tobacco smoke to
include exposure to vapor from electronic smoking devices”
