Word from Fishlake For wildlife's By TERRY MESSMER Wildlife specialist Throughout May, farmers are planting their crops, homeowners are taking care of their lawns and gardeners are doing their gardening. In order to increase their odds at getting good crops, beautiful yards and bountiftil gardens, many will turn to pesticides. Pesticides, when properly used, can be extremely effective products, but they can also be hazardous to fish and wildlife. Fish and wildlife can be killed by direct ingestion of pesticides. More commonly, they suffer sublethal effects that may affect their behavior, thus increasing their risks to predation. Joes National frails Day coming To commemorate National Trails Day on June 5, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offices in Utah are cooperating with a variety of organizations and local government partners in activities designed to enhance many of the foot, horse and vehicles trails that traverse public lands in the state. Specially planned events include the dedication of the new Clover Springs campground in Tooele County. Also, the Golden Trail Marker ceremony at the Big Mountain Summit in Emigration Canyon will celebrate the joining of the American Discovery Trail, Great West- ern Trail, Pony Express Trail, Mormon Pioneer Trail and the California Cutoff of lodges are now available Fish-lak- learning about the fish in Resorts Associates indicates the resorts will be fully opera- tional for the Memorial weekend. Cabin rentals and boat rentals are still available for that weekend. the Oregon Trail. National Trails Day provides an opportunity for everyone, from those who have never been on a trail before to veteran bushwalk-'er- s, to get out and explore one of the many great trails on the public lands, said James Parker, Utah BLM state director. We hope everyone will take the opportunity to participate in these events. The goal of National Trails Day is to increase awareness of the great number and type of trails that crisscross the continent. It is part of an effort, led by the American Hiking Society, to establish a nationwide network of trails and greenways that would bring trails to within 15 minutes of most American homes. The approximately 270 million acres of public lands the BLM administers in the west contain nearly 6,000 miles of hiking trails, 502 miles of national scenic trail-s- , 350 miles of 21 national recreation trails and some 2,490 miles of national historic trails. These trails accommodate a wide range of uses including hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, horseback riding and vehicle riding. ay a 64" guard from Longview, Texas, averaged 20 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals.

If the baby is in obvious danger from cars or some other hazard, simply move it out of the way and back off. Dont cany the fawn away, and dont take it home. Its almost always best to leave a baby animal exactly where you find it. Wild animal parents often leave their young unattended while they feed and go about their daily routine. They know the young has a much better chance of survival on its own.

Cory Jones, 68, from Evanston, Wyo., is expected to give opposing teams fits, as he is a tremendous perimeter shooter as well as an excellent passer. These six signings, com- bined with the expected upcoming announcement of a post player, should put CEU into position for a run at the conference title next season. The prize: the winner of the southern half of Region 18 will host the postseason tournament next year. sake , be prudent when using dangerous pesticides The hazard a pesticide poses to fish and wildlife depends on several factors. These include chemical toxicity, formulation and use, persistence in the environment, tendency to concentrate in the environment and degree of exposure to wildlife. Toxicity is usually expressed as a chemical LD50 for certain species. LD50 is the lethal dose of a chemical that will kill 50 percent of the affected population. The lower the L.D50 value, the more toxic the chemical. For example, an LD50 value of 10 is five times more toxic than an LD value of 50. Insecticides as a group are much more toxic to most fish 4 mates and pyrethroids. Of are carbofurdan (Furadan), carbaryl (Sevin) and benomyl (Benolate). Of these compounds, malathion, carbryl and benomyl are rated as hav- malathion and dimethoate granular insecticides (aldi-car- b and carbofurdan). Typically, these granular insecticides are applied at planting time and incorporated into the soil. However, birds may be poisoned accidently when they mistake exposed granules for food and grit. Ingesting a single granule of Furdan and wildlife than herbicides. There are four major insecticide groups: organochlorines, organophosphates, carba- these, most organochlorines, such as DDT and dieldrin, are no longer available. As a group, the pyrethroids are only slightly toxic to terrestrial wildlife, but usually more toxic to fish. Accordingly, the most important insecticides relative to wildlife toxicity fall into the organopho-sphat- e and carbamate groups. Some ofthe more commonly used organophosphates in Utah are methyl parathion, ing low toxicity to wildlife. The other compounds are considered highly toxic. Probably the greatest risk to wildlife involves the use of (Cygon). The most commonly can kill a used carbamate compounds bird. to The key minimizing the sparrow-size- d danger of pesticides on wildis to reduce the exposure. You can help reduce some of the hazards pesticides pose to wildlife by employing several techniques. Some techniques may save money in the long run by reducing soil erosion and the amount of pesticides you need to control crop, yard and garden pests. Here are some suggestions: Avoid contaminating wetlands and other water areas when spraying. life Use buffer zones of unsprayed crops or grass strips to protect water areas and wildlife habitats. Plant and protect grass filter strips at least 50 feet wide around water areas and wild life habitat Avoid pesticide applications between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and when wind speeds are greater than five miles per hour. Avoid ultra low volume applications due to the risk of increased spray drift. Choose tiie chemicals that are rated as less hazardous to wildlife. Use multiple crop rotations to control crop pests. Use integrated pest management that involves inspection, correct identification of pests and damage potentials and integration of nonchemical and chemical control methods. |
