Ebey's Landing NHR: Public Comment Newsletter (Spring 2001) The Reserve needs to better understand the sport requirements of certain recreationalactivities, such as paragliding and horse back riding and their impacts. http://www.nps.gov/ebla/gmp2a.htm
Extractions: Public Comment Analysis The comments from both the public meetings and letters are grouped under the following headings and are summarized. Resource Protection Cultural Resources Several commentors mentioned the importance of preserving historic buildings. Some suggested setting up an endowment fund for historic preservation or donating time and money and using volunteers. Others suggested using facade easements to help preserve historic buildings along with land easements. Someone asked how one finds the funding to maintain historic buildings, such as barns, that are no longer needed but contribute to the cultural landscape. As an added preservation strategy for historic properties, the Reserve should consider a tax abatement program at the town or county level which would provide incentives to property owners through tax credits or other incentives. The Reserve should also explore the possibility of federal tax credits. The Reserve should provide technical support for owners who would like to upgrade their historic houses for energy efficiency, but in keeping with historic regulations. Natural Resources The Reserve needs to develop a workable technical assistance program for both natural and cultural resources.
Adventure Safety International paragliding is now the latest Euro import. In any article about outdoor recreationalactivities, there is no need to elaborate on the inherent risk of accidents http://www.adventuresafety.org/media/pub_articles/lawsuits_inandout.htm
Extractions: By Jim Moss, Attorney at Law Each month, a new activity develops to lure the adrenaline junkie from one sport to the next. Bungee jump schools meet for early morning thrills, hopefully before the local constables are aware of the activity. Climbing walls are a standard fixture in the trendy health clubs. Paragliding is now the latest Euro import. As each new sport makes its entrance, the outdoor risk adventures of the past are being pushed aside to add new programs to keep up with the adrenaline demand. In any article about outdoor recreational activities, there is no need to elaborate on the inherent risk of accidents. The education that we lack is how to prevent them from occurring, what to do if they do occur, and how to protect ourselves after they have occurred. The riskier the sport, the greater the risk of trouble - not necessarily. Can you add these new activities to your roster of activities? Probably, dependent upon the state you live in, the training you provide, and your own ability to handle the strain. Actuaries will never understand Bungee jumping. When I worked for a large insurance company, I used to find one of them hanging around my desk every Monday morning. I found out later that they set up a pool on whether I would survive my weekends of rock climbing. They considered a late Saturday morning tee time to be as risky as you could get.
