Success of the LA Conservation Corps’ Paddle the LA River program is well documented. One of the program tenets is access to the river. To answer that call, program partner the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority developed ‘River Access for All,’ which offers kayak outings on rafts that can accommodate challenged children and adults and those with limited mobility.
“We wanted the boating experience to not be limited to a select group of people who can pay to paddle the Los Angeles River so we also required groups to submit a plan on community involvement and outreach,” said Lisa Sandoval, District realty specialist.
The program was booked solid as soon as it was announced and openings are rare, but with little more than a week before the final trip of the season, MRCA had a vacancy. After consulting with another program partner, Friends of the LA River, a call was made to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District.
“When the call came in from FoLAR that space was suddenly available in the MRCA program, one group came to mind,” said Jennie Ayala District outreach Coordinator and STEM program manager. “I remembered the passion of Tova and Sterling Barbour of the Veterans Advocacy Group of America. They’d contacted me for USACE support on an educational program they offer to veterans’ children.”
VAGA also reached out through veteran channels and in keeping with tradition, were able to fully book the opportunity for a group of veterans.
“One thing that we like to do is to give back, to see our veterans out here; the smile on their faces just means so much,” said Sterling. “Next year we are definitely going to do this again for our veterans, because it is so wonderful.”
These veterans were fairly ambulatory, although many still showed physical signs of their injuries, making them perfect candidates for the new program.
“With our inflatable rafts we’re able to accommodate various disabilities, we’ve had a variety of organizations come out,” said Fernando Gomez, Chief Ranger of the MRCA. “Today, VAGA was able to participate; one individual was blind and we had our first service dog. Because the KaBoat platform is so stable and if they aren’t able to paddle, they can leave it to the rangers.”
As a fully committed partner to the city’s Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan, the District’s own work on river ecosystem restoration plans to restore natural habitat where appropriate, improve water quality and enhance recreational benefits, all while maintaining its primary mission of flood damage reduction.
July 8, 2016- Syracuse, NY- Governor Andrew M.

Access to water for agriculture purposes has been a main challenge for schools participating in FAO’s project. The project has therefore provided the school with water harvesting structures (1 per school) to capture rainwater as the rainy season progresses.

Throughout Africa, public libraries are promoting social and economic development in their communities through financial literacy workshops, ICT training for women, health classes, programs for children, and more.
Representatives from some of those libraries — from nine countries throughout Africa and Europe — came to the Beyond Access event in Cape Town, South Africa to build partnerships and exchange ideas on how libraries can drive development.

The Trinity Wild and Scenic River emerges clear and cold from Lewiston Lake and flows through a deep mountain valley cloaked with conifers. The river is very popular among salmon and steelhead anglers who are often seen on crisp fall and winter mornings fly fishing from drift boats. The area has an abundance of camping places including the BLM-managed Steel Bridge, Douglas City, and Junction City campgrounds. The river has many undeveloped public access points along the corridor. Boaters plying the class I and II rapids should look for brush hazards and fallen trees.

I'm playing catch up on posting my files of juvie Hummers. While this may seem repetitive to viewers, I've given permission to birding pros to use my images... they access Flickr to access these images.
In the fall months here, there are more juveniles that appear to be adult females than actual adult females. Both sexes of first-year Hummers look much like adult females. You have to take multiple shots and look closely at the gorget area for metallic greens and reds. These juvies had a few such flakes at the margin of the gorget.

Seeing a huge material hauler on an access road of an open pit gold mine puts the size of these holes scraped out of the Nevada desert into perspective. You can see the size of the haulers in many of the following slides in this photostream. Each layer excavated for possible ore becomes a Bench on the side of the pit. All in all, open pit mining is a BIG operation.
A Paratrooper from the 3rd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment, receives a jumpmaster personnel inspection prior to a jump from the 34-foot tower at the Advanced Airborne School on Fort Bragg, N.C., Oct. 19, 2015. Last week, the 3RCR began to arrive on Fort Bragg to participate in the 82nd Airborne Division's Combined Joint Operational Access Exercise 16-01, beginning later this month. The 82nd Abn. Div. is leading a multinational effort to develop an interoperability program with other nations' airborne forces, often their most elite and highly trained military units, to operate together quickly and effectively in future operations.

Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., President and CEO of the Hip Hop Caucus addresses a crowd of about 200 demonstrators gathered outside the White House to protest the Army’s decision to greenlight the completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline without an environmental study. The Army’s approval of a final construction permit comes two weeks after Trump signed an executive order aimed at pushing the controversial project forward. Seeming to ignore the concerns of Native American groups and environmentalist, Trump stressed that the project would create “a lot of jobs, 28,000 jobs.

Beach access to most points along Byron Bay's Belongil Beach are now officially closed due to the impact of human traffic across the fragile dune system. The threat is that potentially the sea could break through to Belongil Lagoon located just behind Belongil Beach at these beach access points.
Despite warning signs people show absolutely no interest in observing these signs and walk/climb onto the beach around obvious barriers strategically located across former access points.
This access is alongside the Beaumont's Hotel site at Belongil.
