Former National Park Service supervisors say to close parks if government shutdown comes

National News, Nature Page & Night Sky /

A group of former national park superintendents early this week was calling on the Trump administration to close the parks to visitors in case of a government shutdown.
Past shutdowns in which parks remained open led to vandalism of iconic symbols, destroyed wildlife habitat, and endangered visitors, 40 former superintendents said in a letter to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.

Historic sale of dams clears the way for salmon to return to Maine’s Kennebec River

National Fishing, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky /

The Nature Conservancy on Tuesday announced a landmark investment worth $168 million to purchase and oversee Brookfield Renewable’s four hydroelectric dams on the lower Kennebec River in Maine, paving the way for their eventual removal.
The sale all but guarantees unfettered access for endangered Atlantic salmon and other seagoing fish from the Gulf of Maine to their historic spawning grounds upstream on the Sandy River for the first time since the Kennebec River was permanently dammed more than a century ago.

More than 160,000 apply for Florida’s first bear hunt in a decade, many who don’t intend to hunt

National Hunting, National News /

Florida’s first bear hunt in a decade drew more than 160,000 applicants for a far more limited number of permits, including from opponents who are trying to reduce the number of bears killed.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will award 172 bear hunt permits by random lottery for the December hunt, down slightly from the 187 permits initially proposed. The permit allows a hunter to kill one bear in areas where the bear population is deemed large enough.

Vermont’s black bears are thriving, expanding range as wildlife officials study the reasons why

National Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky /

For the fourth year in a row, the number of black bears in Vermont far outpaced what the state considers an ideal population size.
Last year, the state had an estimated 6,800 to 8,000 bears, nearly double the objective of 3,500 to 5,500 bears, outlined by a Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department population model. The state calculates its goal for Vermont’s bear population based on a range of variables, including what is healthy for the bears and ecosystem, as well as humans’ attitudes toward the risk of conflict with the animals.
