September 14,1995 Western Carolinian 11 Environment The Ten Commandments For a Low-Impact Wilderness Experience by Adam Riggsbee StaffReporter "The earth was created with the assistance of the sun and it should be left as it was. I never said the land was mine to do with as I chose. The only one with that right is the one who made it." -Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Tribe, 1870 Seeing nature in its true form is the joy of the wilderness experience. When taking into account the modern circumstances acreage of the pure wilderness, it becomes obvious we have a need to conserve these precious lands. The" low-impact" or "no-trace" method of camping and backpacking serves this purpose. Here are the ten commandments of low-impact wilderness travel. 1. Nature follows its own law. Nature is amazingly diverse. The arid desert of the Southwest reacts to humans differently than the humid climate of the Southeast. Taking this into consideration, before each trip, consult with local authorities (rangers or other park officials), U.S. Forest Service or National Park Service for the proper handling of a specific area. 2. Watch your step. Stick to existing trails; if there are none, spare the plant life. Try to use rocky terrain or dry drainage ways. Stay on the main trial, especially if it's wet or snow-covered. Avoid short-cutting switchbacks —this means no suicide routes straight up or down the mountain. 3. Family-sized groups. Keep the number of companions to a minimum; the ideal number is two. Four to six should be the limit, because more people means more damage. 4. Plan ahead. Try to plan your trips so that you avoid weekends and holidays. Of course, this is not always possible, but try to keep it in mind. 5. Smart camping. Scout for a campsite where fire, tent, and toilet will have the least effect. Look for ridgetop or timbered campsites. Always make camp at least 200 feet away from any water source. 6. Safe fire. Use an existing fire ring if you find one. If one does not exist, choose an area with little or no vegetation. Keep the fire small. Gather small firewood from timbered areas outside camp. Never cut standing trees. 7. Nature's toilet. When nature calls, make sure to answer at least 200 yards from any water source or your campsite. Dig a hole six to eight inches deep, keeping the sod intact. After use, replace the soil and sod. 8. Biodegradable soap. While it is true that some rivers can dilute soaps better than the land, the organisms in the water cannot. To prevent damage to the land, use biodegradable soap and do not dump it into the water. 9. Enjoy the quietness. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a good reason. The sounds of the wilderness are just as beautiful as the sights. 10. Give a hoot! Don't pollute. Last and most importantly, if you pack it in then pack it out. The best experience in the wilds is when one learns to treat nature with the respect it deserves. If everyone does his part when visiting our parks and other wilderness areas, we can ensure their preservation. No-trace camping is simple and it protects fragile ecosystems. Leave the beauty behind, not the trash. s cjsfti ^'Your Indie rock one-stop" -a>_ gU HUP *' » *"■ o ijT-- , i 779 Haywood Rd. f^ci^S Asheville, NC W#____#-*l (704) 254-3232 Mon-Sat\ U-7 p.m. Sunday I- 6 p.m. Itfs your right!

Cark (R- 28th District) 2 Quail Cove Road Asheville, NC 28804 Clark Plexico (D- 29th District) PO Box 1904 Hendersonville, NC 28793 The Yarrow Plant The Natural Way to Stop Bleeding by Adam Riggsbee StaffReporter Yarrow, Achillea milleofolium, is a perennial plant found worldwide. Seed germination happens easily in almost any soil, but is especially common in dry and sunny places. Roadsides, embankments, open fields and pastures most easily support yarrow. Once germination has occurred, the plant begins to establish itself with a creeping rootstock. Small rosettes of lancelot-shaped leaves are produced by the rootstock. The leaves are pinnately divided, giving the yarrow a fernlike appearance. They remain green throughout the year. In early spring, the plant begins to develop a round pithy flower stem that branches near the top into flat clusters of many tiny whitish blossoms (usually 1 to 2 feet). Blooms are present from June to October. According to Wendell Cochran's A Guide to Gathering and Using Cherokee Medicinal Herbs, yarrow has many medicinal uses. It is most commonly used as a hemostatic in order to stop bleeding. This is done by applying freshly crushed leaves to an open wound or cut. Internal bleeding including nosebleeds and stomach and intestinal disorders, is treated by internally taking the fresh juices diluted with water. Tea made from the leaves is said to stimulate gastric and intestinal functions, while increasing appetite and aiding in digestion. Minor skin wounds, sores and chapped hands can be treated by an astringent made by boiling the stems and leaves. A. milleofolium GET INVOLVED!
