It offers a series of discussion questions for use before and after showings of the film to encourage audience The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has released its plans and final environmental impact statement on the National Wild- life Refuge for the Canaan Valley of Tucker County. If approved, the Wildife Refuge will permanently protect some 28,000 acres of boreal wetlands and surrounding areas, habitat for many unusual wildlife spe- cies such as the goshawk, snow- shoe .hare. black bear. great blue heron, eagle, woodcock and Canada goose as well as many rare plants common to the marshes and bogs of the Valley. The Refuge as proposed will also provide much needed tax revenue to Tucker County and additional recreational opp- ortunities to benefit the local economy. Leading the effort to see the Valley protected as a National Wilfuge is the Canaan Vance, a recently for- me(LtroaliUont6f state and nat- iordll cortmmwation and groups and individuals. Steve Bradley, President of the Alliance. m explaining some of the merits of the Canaan Refuge points out that wetlands in the United States "have been drained and damned so profusely that the Federal government has had to intervene and pass laws to prevent their total destruction. The Wildlife Refuge in Canaan Valley will protect the Valley's wetlands which include many acres of swamps, marshes, bogs and wet meadows and the many animals, plants and" birds they support while allowing traditional land uses such as framing to continue in the Vall ey." "No homes or businesses in the Valley will need to be relocated for the Refuge," st- ates David Harris. USFWS Staff Biologist in Elkins and author of the impact studies on the Can- aan Refuge, "and as a National Wildlife Refuge, fishing and hunting and other recreational uses of the Valley will cont- inue." Harris explains that some of the recreational uses nf the Valley will, in fact, be improved as a result of Ref- uge management. "Game management will in some cases increase wildlife populations." tie points out that a wide variety of cultural, educational, scientific and other recreational uses such as wildlife observ- ation, photography, hiking, can- oeing and cross country skiing will also be provided by the refuge. "Facilities and expert- ise for environmental education for school-age children and in- service environmental edueat- inn for teachers as well as increased public visitation fac- ilities will be available. Trails and boardwalks will be provid- ed to increase access to the northern area of the Valley. In addition," he says, "some $380. 000 a year in special Refuge revenue sharing funds will come to Tucker County when the Refuge is established." The Canaan Valley, at 3,20O feet elevation, is the highest Valley of its size east of the Mississippi River and the lar- gest shrub swamp wetland in the Eastern United States. As illustrative of the Valley's un- ique vegetation. Dr. Maurice Brooks, WVU Professor Emer- itus of wildlife biology, points out that because of the valley's high elevation and wet nature, it supports "the largest assemb- lage of truly northern plants this far south in the United States. It is much larger than any similar area in West Vir- ginia." lie explains further that the Valley has the largest stand of balsam fir in West Virginia and that quaking aspen, a tree species typical of Canada and northern Minnnsnta, occurs b- undantly in Canaan. "Heaths, sedges and other wetland species of the Valley are also noteworthy," Dr. Brooks ex- plains. "These include creeping snowberry, teaberry, cotton- grass, velvet-leaf blueberry, high bush cranberry and the round- leaved sundew. All rare species in West Virginia. "There is no other like it in the Eastern United States," Dr. Brooks concludes, "and, truly, no area in West Virginia is more deserving of protection as a National Wildlife Refuge than the Canaan Valley. Considering the kind of high-quality opport- unities that would be made available so close to home at this time of gasoline shortages, it is about time we get moving on the establishment of a wild- life refuge in West Virginia. Linda Elkinton, Co- Coordin- ator for the Alliance, emphas- izes the need for support of the Canaan Valley Refuge plan if it is to be established. She says that currently, both West Vir- ginia Seantors (Seantors Byrd and Randolph) are "waivering in their support for the Refuge as proposed. They need to hear from people who support the Refuge." She explains that lett- ers are also important to Sec- retary of Interior Cecil Andrus. The Fish and Wildlife Service is a division of the Department of its wetlands, plant Interior and "Secretary Andrus resources remain ava will play a key role in the the citizens of the Refuge decision."
