I-Carolina Public Press ihlinzeka ngombiko wophenyo ojulile mayelana nezindaba ezithinta intshonalanga yeNyakatho ye-Carolina endaweni engenzi nzuzo, engachemi.
Kulobu busika, uhlelo oluqhubekayo lokubuyisela umzila eduze ne-Boone luzongeza amamayela emizila yamabhayisikili asezintabeni namamayela ezindaweni ezidumile zabantu abadala e-Pisgah National Forest engxenyeni enkulu yentshonalanga yeNyakatho Carolina.Izindlela zokuhamba ngezinyawo.
Iphrojekthi ye-Mortimer Trails ingenye yezinhlelo ezimbalwa ezizayo esiFundeni se-Grandfather Ranger.Le phrojekthi isekelwa inhlangano ezimele ukuze ihlangabezane nesidingo esandayo sokuzijabulisa okuvela ezindaweni zomphakathi eziseBlue Ridge Mountains eNyakatho Carolina.
Ukuhamba ngebhayisikili entabeni kungomunye wemisebenzi edume kakhulu eHlathi Lesizwe, eligxile ezindaweni ezimbalwa ePisgah naseNantahala National Forest, okuhlanganisa neBent Creek Experimental Forest eBancombe County, Transylva Pisgah Rangers kanye neDupont State Forest eNiah County naseTsali Swain. County Recreation Area.
U-Paul Starschmidt, oyilungu le-Northwest North Carolina Mountain Bike League kanye nelungu legatsha le-Southern Dirt Bike Branch, uthe ukwandisa indlela eya emzileni kuzogcina kuvumela abagibeli ukuthi bagcine behlakazwe endaweni yamahektha ayizigidi ezingu-1 zehlathi le-WNC.Futhi wehlise ingcindezi ohlelweni lomkhondo oluthwele kanzima.Inhlangano, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-SORBA.
I-Mortimer Trail Complex eqanjwe ngomphakathi ogawulayo esikhathini esidlule-itholakala eWilson Creek Divide, eduze neWilson Creek kanye ne-State Highway 181, ezifundeni zase-Avery naseCaldwell, ngokulandelana.I-US Forest Service ibhekisela endaweni egxilile yomzila ngokuthi "indlela eyinkimbinkimbi."
Umthombo okhuphuka nomfula ungaphansi kweNtaba i-Grandfather, eduze nendawo ewumqansa yamawa asempumalanga yezintaba zeBlue Ridge.
Abagibeli bamabhayisikili ezintabeni bafuna ukuhamba kakhulu eWilson Creek Valley, ngoba kunezindawo ezimbalwa ezikude zamathuba okugibela amahhashi empumalanga ye-United States.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, naphezu kokuhlukaniswa kwendawo, uye wabona ukwehla okusheshayo kwesimo semizila yethrekhi eyodwa endaweni yephrojekthi.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, lezi zindlela bezilokhu zizinzile ngenxa yobunzima bazo kanye nokucasha kwazo.U-Stahlschmidt uthi lezi zindlela zizozilungisa njengoba amahlamvu nezinye izibi ziphola endleleni futhi zivikeleke ekugugulekeni.
Kodwa-ke, imizila ye-Mertimer complex ihlangene kakhulu futhi ijwayele ukugeleza, okuholela ekulimaleni kwemvelo.Isibonelo, phakathi nezimvula ezinkulu, inzika izolahlwa emanzini.
“Okuningi kungenxa yokwanda kokusetshenziswa kwamabhayisikili asezintabeni,” usho kanje."Awukho udoti wamaqabunga omningi futhi kuba nokuminyene okuningi emizileni - imvamisa, abantu abasebenzisa imizila bazoba nezimpawu eziningi."
U-Lisa Jennings, Umphathi Wohlelo Lokungcebeleka Nomzila, Isifunda Sokukhulu, Isevisi Yehlathi Yase-US, uthe ngaphezu komphakathi omkhulu wamabhayisikili we-Boone, i-Mortimer Trail iseduze nezikhungo zabantu base-Charlotte, Raleigh kanye ne-Interstate 40 Corridor..
Wathi: “Lapho beya entshonalanga ezintabeni, indawo kamkhulu yaba yindawo yokuqala abathinta kuyo.”
Ukusetshenziswa kakhulu akuthinti nje kuphela ukusimama kwesistimu yamathrekhi, kodwa ingqalasizinda nayo iminyene kakhulu, njengokufinyelela ekunakekeleni kanye nezimpawu kanye nokuhlinzekwa kwezindawo zokupaka.
UJennings uthe: “Sibona imizila ephithizelayo entshonalanga neNorth Carolina njalo ngempelasonto.”“Uma ungayitholi le mikhondo futhi inesimo esibi, ngeke ube nakho okuhle.Emsebenzini wethu njengabaphathi bomhlaba, kubalulekile ukuthi umphakathi uwajabulele.”
Ngesabelomali esilinganiselwe, I-Forest Service Bureau ihlose ukuthembela kozakwethu ukuze banakekele, bathuthukise futhi bakhuphule isivinini samamayela ukuze bazivumelanise nokuchuma kwezokungcebeleka nokuzijabulisa.
Ngo-2012, i-Forest Service yabamba umhlangano womphakathi ukuze kuthuthukiswe isu lokuphatha imizila engeyona eyezimoto e-Pisgah naseNantahala National Forests.Umbiko olandelayo othi “I-Nantahala ne-Pisgah Trail Strategy 2013” ​​yathi amamayela angu-1,560 wesistimu wokuqwala izintaba namabhayisikili abedlula kude umthamo wawo.
Ngokusho kwesiphetho sombiko, imizila ivame ukubekwa ngokungahleliwe, ingenayo idizayini ehlangabezana nezidingo zabasebenzisi futhi ijwayele ukugqwala.
Lezi zinkinga zenze izinselelo ezinkulu ze-ejensi, futhi ukuqiniswa kwesabelomali sombuso kwafaka i-ejensi enkingeni, ngakho-ke kwakudingeka ukubambisana nabanye abaphathi bomhlaba kanye namaqembu amavolontiya (njenge-SORBA).
Ukusebenzisana namaqembu abasebenzisi nakho kuyingxenye ebalulekile yohlaka lwe-Pisgah ne-Nantahala National Forest Management Plan, eyakhishwa ngoFebhuwari 2020 futhi okulindeleke ukuthi iqedwe engxenyeni yesibili ka-2021.
U-Stahlschmidt ubambe iqhaza ohlelweni lomphakathi lokuthuthukisa uhlelo lokuphatha olusalungiswa futhi wabamba iqhaza emihlanganweni yamasu omhlaba wonke wezi-2012 kanye no-2013.Wabona ithuba lokubambisana ne-Forest Service Bureau ukuze andise imizila yamabhayisikili.
I-Northwest NC Mountain Bike Alliance yasayina isivumelwano sokuzithandela ne-Forest Service ngo-2014, futhi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi ihole ekuqhubeni amaphrojekthi amancane okuthuthukisa umzila endaweni ye-Mortimer trail complex.
U-Stahlschmidt uthe abashayeli bebezwakalisa ubumbano nokushoda kwemikhondo ezindaweni ezithile zejografi (njengeMortimer).Kukhona isamba samakhilomitha angama-70 emizila eWilson Creek Basin.NgokukaJennings, u-30% kuphela wabo ongagibela amabhayisikili asezintabeni.
Iningi lesistimu liqukethe izindlela zesitayela esidala ezisesimweni esingesihle.Imizila esele nezindlela ezisele ziyizinsalela zemigwaqo edlule yokugawulwa kwemithi kanye nemigqa yasendulo yomlilo.
Uthe: “Akukaze kube nesimiso esingekho emgwaqweni esiklanyelwe ukuhamba ngebhayisikili ezintabeni.”“Leli yithuba lokwengeza imizila ezinikele ekuqwaleni izintaba nokuhamba ngebhayisikili okusimeme.
Ukuntuleka kwemizila kungaholela “ekuzingelweni kwezilwane ngokungemthetho” noma “ekuphangeni” imizila engekho emthethweni, njengeLost Bay neHarper River e-Avery County kanye naseCaldwell County ngaphakathi kweWilson Creek Basin, izindawo ezimbili zocwaningo lwasehlane noma imizila ye-WSA.
Nakuba kungeyona ingxenye eqokiwe yoHlelo Lukazwe Lonke, ukuhamba ngebhayisikili emizileni ye-WSA akukho emthethweni.
Abalandeli basehlane nabagibeli bamabhayisikili bajabule ngokuba kude kwendawo.Nakuba abanye abahamba ngamabhayisikili asezintabeni befuna ukubona izindawo eziya ehlane, lokhu kudinga izinguquko emithethweni yenhlangano.
Imemorandamu yokusebenzisana eyasayinwa ngo-2015 yizinhlangano zezifunda ezingu-40 okuhloswe ngayo ukwakha indawo yezokungcebeleka kazwelonke endaweni ye-Grandfather Ranger ibangele ukungqubuzana phakathi kwamabhayisikili asezintabeni kanye nabagqugquzeli basehlane.
Abanye abameli basehlane bakhathazekile ngokuthi le memorandamu iwuhlelo lwezingxoxo zezingxoxo.Ishiya ubunjalo bayo besikhathi esizayo obuhlala ehlane ukuze ithole ukwesekwa kwabagibeli bamabhayisikili basezintabeni ukuze bathole ulwazi lwasehlane kwenye indawo ehlathini lesizwe.
U-Kevin Massey, umqondisi wephrojekthi waseNorth Carolina wenhlangano engenzi nzuzo etholwa umhlaba womphakathi i-Wild South, uthe ukungqubuzana phakathi kwamabhayisikili asezintabeni nabameli basehlane akulungile.
Uthe yize inhlangano yakhe igqugquzela ugwadule olwengeziwe, abameli basehlane nabahamba ngamabhayisikili asezintabeni banentshisekelo yezindlela zokuqwala izintaba futhi bayesekelana.
U-Stahlschmidt uthe inhloso ye-Mortimer Trail Project akukona ngempela ukuthi abantu baqhelelane nemizila yezigebengu.
Uthe: “Asiwona amaphoyisa.”“Okokuqala, azikho izindlela ezanele zokuhlangabezana nezidingo nezinhlobo zolwazi lokugibela abantu abalufunayo.Sisebenza kanzima ukuze sithole ukufinyelela okwengeziwe nemikhondo eyengeziwe.”
Ngo-2018, i-Forest Service yabamba umhlangano nomphakathi wamabhayisikili asezintabeni endaweni yokudlela e-Banner Elk ukuze kuxoxwe ngomsebenzi wokusheshisa imizila endaweni.
“Into engiyithanda kakhulu engingayenza ukukhipha ibalazwe elingenalutho, ngibheke indawo, bese ngicabanga ngalokho esingakwenza,” kusho uJennings we-Forest Service.
Umphumela uwuhlelo lomzila olubuyekezwe esidlangalaleni lokuthuthukisa imizila yamanje yamamayela angu-23 wamabhayisikili asezintabeni endaweni ye-Mortimer complex, ukuhoxiswa kwamamayela ambalwa, nokungeza amamayela angu-10 wamamayela endlela.
Lolu hlelo luphinde lwahlonza amakholvethi emigwaqo emikhulu ehlulekile.Amakholvethi angasebenzi kahle andisa ukuguguleka, acekele phansi izinga lamanzi, futhi abe izithiyo ezinhlobonhlobo zezilwane ezinjenge-trout ne-sal ezifudukela ezindaweni eziphakeme.
Njengengxenye yephrojekthi ye-Mortimer, i-Trout Unlimited ixhase ngezimali ukuklanywa kwesakhiwo sekhothamo elingenasiphelo kanye nokushintshwa kwamakhova alimele, okunikeza indlela ebanzi yokudlula kwezinto eziphilayo kanye nemfucumfucu ngesikhathi sezimvula ezinkulu.
NgokukaJennings, izindleko zemayela ngalinye zingaba ngu-$30,000.Kule nhlangano yombuso enezinkinga, ukungeza amamayela angu-10 kuyisinyathelo esikhulu, futhi i-ejensi ayizange ichithe iminyaka embalwa edlule ibeka izimali zokuzijabulisa endaweni Ebalulekile.
Iphrojekthi ye-Mortimer ixhaswe ngemali yesibonelelo sika-Santa Cruz Bicycles PayDirt enhlanganweni ye-Stahlschmidt kanye nesibonelelo se-NC Recreation and Trail Program ku-Grandfather Ranger District of the Pisgah National Forest.
Kodwa-ke, njengoba abantu abaningi bevakashela umhlaba womphakathi, isidingo sokungcebeleka kwangaphandle singase sithathe indawo yezimboni ezivamile ezifana nokugawulwa kwemithi futhi kube injini yokuthuthukiswa komnotho ezindaweni zasemaphandleni entshonalanga yeNorth Carolina, ebezilokhu zishikashikeka ukuthola ukuzinza.Isisekelo somnotho.
UMassey waseWild South uthi inselelo eyodwa ukuthi ukushiyeka emuva kokulungiswa komkhondo kungase kubangele ukuthi i-Forest Service ithathe isinyathelo esisha.
Uthe: "Phakathi kovivinyo olunzima lwengcindezi yokuzijabulisa kanye nendlala yeCongress, Ihlathi Likazwelonke laseNorth Carolina lihle kakhulu ekusebenzeni nozakwethu."
Iphrojekthi ye-Mortimer ibonisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukubambisana okuphumelelayo phakathi kwamaqembu ahlukahlukene anentshisekelo.I-Wild South ibamba iqhaza ekuhlelweni nasekwakhiweni kwendawo yephrojekthi ye-Mortimer.Ithimba liphinde libe yingxenye yephrojekthi yokuthuthukisa i-Linville Canyon Trail futhi liyingxenye yomunye umklamo womzila oseduze ne-Old Fort.
UJennings uthe iphrojekthi eholwa ngumphakathi i-Old Castle Trail ithole uxhaso luka-$140,000 ukuze kuxhaswe iphrojekthi ezohlanganisa amamayela angu-35 emizila emisha enezinhloso eziningi exhumanisa umhlaba womphakathi neMcDowell Old Fort Town esifundeni.I-Forest Service izokhombisa umphakathi uhlelo oluhlongozwayo lokulandela umkhondo ngoJanuwari futhi inethemba lokuthi izoqhamuka ngo-2022.
UDeirdre Perot, omele umhlaba womphakathi wabagibeli bamahhashi ezindaweni ezikude eNorth Carolina, uthe inhlangano iphoxekile ngokuthi iphrojekthi yeMortimer ayizange icacise umzila wabagibeli bamahhashi.
Kodwa-ke, le nhlangano ibambisene nakweminye imiklamo emibili esiFundeni se-Grandfather Ranger, ngenhloso yokwandisa amathuba okugibela amahhashi e-Boonfork nase-Old Fort.Ithimba lakhe lithole uxhaso oluzimele lokuhlela imizila yesikhathi esizayo nokuthuthukisa izindawo zokupaka ukuze kufakwe ama-trailer.
UJennings uthe ngenxa yendawo ewumqansa, iphrojekthi ye-Mortimer ibaluleke kakhulu ekuhambeni ngebhayisikili ezintabeni kanye nokuqwala izintaba.
U-Stahlschmidt uthe kulo lonke ihlathi, amaphrojekthi amaningi, njenge-Mertimer ne-Old Fort, azosabalalisa umthwalo wokwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwemizila kwezinye izindawo zamabhayisikili ezintabeni.
Uthe: “Ngaphandle kwezinhlelo ezithile, ngaphandle kokuxhumana okuseqophelweni eliphezulu, ngeke kwenzeke."Lesi isibonelo esincane sokuthi lokhu kwenzeke kanjani kwenye indawo."
