I-Carolina Public Press inikezela ngengxelo yophando olunzulu malunga nemiba echaphazela intshona yeNorth Carolina kwimeko engenzi nzuzo, engekhoyo.
Kulo busika, inkqubo yokubuyisela umzila oqhubekayo kufuphi neBoone iya kwongeza iikhilomitha zeebhayisikili zeentaba kunye neekhilomitha ukuya kwiindawo ezidumileyo zabantu abadala kwiHlathi leSizwe lasePisga kwintshona yeNorth Carolina.Iindlela zokuhamba.
Iprojekthi yeMortimer Trails yenye yeeprojekthi ezininzi ezizayo kwiSithili seTamkhulu Ranger.Le projekthi ixhaswa ngumbutho wabucala ukuhlangabezana nemfuno ekhulayo yokuzonwabisa evela kwiiyunithi zomhlaba woluntu kwiiNtaba zeBlue Ridge zaseNorth Carolina.
Ukuhamba ngebhayisekile eNtabeni yenye yezona zinto zidumileyo kwiHlathi leSizwe, ligxile kwiindawo ezimbalwa ePisgah naseNantahala National Forest, kuquka iBent Creek Experimental Forest eBancombe County, Transylva Pisgah Rangers kunye neDupont State Forest eNiah County naseTsali Swain. Indawo yoLonwabo kwiNgingqi.
UPaul Starschmidt, ilungu leNorthwest North Carolina Mountain Bike League kunye nelungu leSouth Dirt Bike Branch, wathi ukwandisa indlela eya kumzila ekugqibeleni kuya kuvumela abakhweli ukuba ekugqibeleni basasazwe kwi-WNC ye-1 yezigidi zeehektare zehlathi lesizwe.Kwaye unciphise uxinzelelo kwinkqubo yendlela yomthwalo ogqithisileyo.Umbutho, owaziwa ngokuba yi-SORBA.
I-Mortimer Trail Complex ebizwa emva koluntu lokugawulwa kwemithi kwixesha elidlulileyo-ibekwe kwiWilson Creek Divide, ekufuphi neWilson Creek kunye ne-State Highway 181, kwi-Avery naseCaldwell, ngokulandelelana.Inkonzo yasehlathini yase-US ibhekisa kwindawo ekugxilwe kuyo yendlela “njengendlela entsonkothileyo.”
Umthombo ongasentla wesi sitya umi ngezantsi kweNtaba yeTamkhulu, ecaleni kwethambeka eliphakamileyo lamawa asempuma kwiiNtaba zeBlue Ridge.
Iibhayisekile zeentaba zifuna ukuhamba ngakumbi kwiWilson Creek Valley, kuba zimbalwa iindawo ezikude zamathuba okukhwela amahashe kwimpuma yeUnited States.
Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, nangona indawo yodwa, uye wabona ukuhla ngokukhawuleza kwimeko yeendlela zomzila omnye kwindawo yeprojekthi.
Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, le mizila iye yahlala izinzile ngenxa yobunzima bayo kunye nokufihlakala.UStahlschmidt uthi ezi ndlela ziya kuzilungisa ngokwazo njengoko amagqabi kunye nobunye ubugoxo buphilisa endleleni kwaye bukhuseleke kukhukuliseko.
Nangona kunjalo, iitrayile zeMertimer complex zixinene kwaye ziqhelene nokubaleka, nto leyo ekhokelela kumonakalo wendalo.Umzekelo, ngexesha lemvula enkulu, intlenga iya kukhutshelwa emanzini.
“Uninzi lwayo lubangelwa kukwanda kokusetyenziswa kweebhayisekile zasezintabeni,” utshilo.Akukho nkunkuma yamagqabi kwaye kukho ukuxinana ngakumbi kwiindledlana-ngokuqhelekileyo, abantu abasebenzisa iindlela baya kuba neempawu ezininzi.
U-Lisa Jennings, uMphathi weNkqubo yezoLonwabo kunye neTrail, iSithili sikaTatomkhulu, iNkonzo yeHlathi yase-US, wathi ukongeza kuluntu olukhulu lweebhayisikile lwaseBoone, iMortimer Trail isondele kumaziko abantu baseCharlotte, Raleigh kunye ne-Interstate 40 Corridor..
Wathi: “Xa babesiya ngasentshona ezintabeni, ummandla wooyisemkhulu yaba yindawo yokuqala abafika kuyo.”
Ukusetyenziswa kakhulu akuchaphazeli nje kuphela ukuzinza kwenkqubo yomzila, kodwa iziseko zophuhliso nazo ziqinile kakhulu, ezifana nokufikelela kulondolozo kunye neempawu kunye nokubonelela ngeendawo zokupaka.
UJennings uthe: “Sibona iindlela ezixakekileyo kwintshona yoMntla Carolina qho ngeempelaveki.“Ukuba awuzifumani ezi ndledlana kwaye zinemilo eyoyikekayo, awuyi kuba namava amnandi.Kumsebenzi wethu njengabaphathi bemihlaba, kubalulekile ukuba uluntu luwonwabele.”
Ngohlahlo lwabiwo-mali olulinganiselweyo, i-Forest Service Bureau ijonge ukuthembela kumaqabane ukuba agcine, aphucule kwaye anyuse isantya seemayile ukuziqhelanisa nokuchuma kwezolonwabo kunye nokuzonwabisa.
Kwi-2012, iNkonzo yeHlathi yabamba intlanganiso kawonkewonke yokuphuhlisa isicwangciso sokulawula imizila engeyiyo imoto kwi-Pisgah kunye neNantahala National Forests.Ingxelo elandelayo “Isicwangciso se-Nantahala kunye ne-Pisgah Trail 2013” ​​yachaza ukuba inkqubo yeemayile ezi-1,560 zeemayile zokuhamba intaba kunye neebhayisekile zigqithise kakhulu umthamo wayo.
Ngokokuqukunjelwa kwengxelo, iindlela zihlala zibekwe ngokungacwangciswanga, zingenalo uyilo oluhlangabezana neemfuno zabasebenzisi kwaye zithande ukubola.
Le micimbi ibangele imingeni enkulu kwi-arhente, kwaye ukuqiniswa kwebhajethi ye-federal kubeka i-arhente enkathazweni, ngoko ke kwakuyimfuneko ukusebenzisana nabanye abaphathi bomhlaba kunye namaqela amavolontiya (afana ne-SORBA).
Intsebenziswano kunye namaqela abasebenzisi nayo iyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yoyilo lweSicwangciso soLawulo loMhlaba wasePisga kunye neNantahala yeSizwe, eyakhutshwa ngoFebruwari 2020 kwaye kulindeleke ukuba igqitywe kwisiqingatha sesibini se-2021.
U-Stahlschmidt uthathe inxaxheba kwinkqubo yoluntu yokuphuhlisa uyilo lwesicwangciso solawulo kwaye uthathe inxaxheba kwiintlanganiso zeqhinga le-2012 kunye ne-2013.Wabona ithuba lokusebenzisana ne-Forest Service Bureau ukwandisa iindlela zokuhamba ngeebhayisikile.
I-Northwest NC Mountain Bike Alliance isayine isivumelwano sokuzithandela kunye neNkonzo yeHlathi ngo-2014, kwaye sele ithathe indawo ephambili ekuqhubeni iiprojekthi zokuphucula umzila omncinci kwi-complex ye-Mortimer trail.
U-Stahlschmidt uthe abaqhubi baye babonakalisa ubumbano kunye nokunqongophala kwemikhondo kwiindawo ezithile zejografi (ezifana neMortimer).Kukho i-70 yeemayile zeendlela ezipheleleyo kwi-Wilson Creek Basin.Ngokutsho kukaJennings, yi-30% kuphela yabo inokukhwela iibhayisikili zeentaba.
Uninzi lwenkqubo lubandakanya iindlela zakudala ezikwimeko embi.Iindlela eziseleyo kunye neendlela eziseleyo ziintsalela zeendlela ezidlulileyo zokugawulwa kwemithi kunye nemigca yamandulo yomlilo.
Uthe: “Akuzange kubekho inkqubo engekho endleleni eyenzelwe ukukhwela ibhayisekile entabeni."Eli lithuba lokongeza iindlela ezinikezelwe ekunyukeni intaba kunye nokuhamba ngebhayisekile ezizinzileyo entabeni."
Ukungabikho kwemizila kunokukhokelela "ekuzingelweni" okanye "ukuzingela" iindlela ezingekho mthethweni, ezifana neLost Bay kunye neHarper River e-Avery County kunye neCaldwell County ngaphakathi kweWilson Creek Basin, iindawo ezimbini zophando lwasentlango okanye iindlela ze-WSA.
Nangona ingeyonxalenye echongiweyo yeNkqubo yeNtlango yeSizwe, ukukhwela ibhayisekile entabeni kwiindlela ze-WSA akukho mthethweni.
Abaxhasi bentlango kunye nabakhweli beebhayisikile bonwabile ngokuba kude kwendawo.Nangona ezinye iibhayisekile zeentaba zifuna ukubona iindawo ezisentlango, oku kufuna utshintsho kwimithetho yomanyano.
Imemorandam yokuqonda esayinwe kwi-2015 yimibutho yengingqi ye-40 ejoliswe ekudaleni indawo yokuzonwabisa yelizwe kwindawo ye-Grandfather Ranger ibangele ingxabano phakathi kweebhayisikili zeentaba kunye nabameli bentlango.
Abanye abathetheleli basentlango banexhala lokuba le memorandam sisixokelelwano sothethathethwano.Ilahla isazisi sayo sentlango esisigxina ngokutshintshiselana nenkxaso yeebhayisekile zeentaba zezazisi zentlango kwenye indawo kwihlathi lesizwe.
U-Kevin Massey, umlawuli weprojekthi yaseNorth Carolina yombutho ongenzi nzuzo wokufumana umhlaba kwi-Wild South, uthe ungquzulwano phakathi kweebhayisekile zeentaba kunye nabameli bentlango akulunganga.
Uthe ngelixa umbutho wakhe ukhuthaza intlango engakumbi, bobabini abameli bentlango kunye neebhayisekile zeentaba banomdla kwiindlela zokuhamba intaba kwaye bayaxhasana.
UStahlschmidt uthe injongo yeProjekthi ye-Mortimer Trail ayikokugcina abantu bekude kwiindlela zokuphangwa.
Wathi: "Asingomapolisa."“Okokuqala, akukho ndlela zaneleyo zokuhlangabezana neemfuno kunye neentlobo zamava okukhwela abantu abawafunayo.Sisebenza nzima ukufumana ukufikelela ngakumbi kunye nemikhondo ngakumbi. ”
Kwi-2018, iNkonzo yeHlathi yabamba intlanganiso kunye noluntu lwebhayisikili yeentaba kwindawo yokutyela e-Banner Elk ukuze kuxoxwe ngomsebenzi wokuhamba ngokukhawuleza kwimizila kule ndawo.
“Eyona nto ndiyithandayo kukukhupha imephu engenanto, ndijonge indawo, emva koko sicinge ngento esinokuyenza,” utshilo uJennings weNkonzo yeHlathi.
Isiphumo sisicwangciso somkhondo esiphononongwe esidlangalaleni sokuphucula iimayile zangoku ze-23 yeekhilomitha zebhayisekile yeentaba kwi-complex ye-Mortimer, ethatha umhlala-phantsi iimayile ezininzi, kunye nokongeza iimayile ezili-10 zomzila.
Isicwangciso sikwachonge iikholvethi zohola wendlela ezingaphumeleliyo.Iikholvethi ezingasebenzi kakuhle zandisa ukhukuliseko, zonakalisa umgangatho wamanzi, kwaye zibe yimiqobo kwiintlobo zezilwanyana ezifana ne-trout kunye ne-sal ezifudukela kwiindawo eziphakamileyo.
Njengenxalenye yeprojekthi yeMortimer, iTrout Unlimited ixhase ngemali uyilo lwesakhiwo esingenasiphelo se-arch kunye nokutshintshwa kweekholvethi ezonakeleyo, ezibonelela ngendlela ebanzi yokudlula kwezinto eziphilayo kunye nobutyobo ngexesha leemvula ezinkulu.
Ngokutsho kukaJennings, ixabiso ngemayile nganye yeendlela zimalunga ne-30,000 yeedola.Kule arhente yomdibaniso enenkathazo, ukongeza iikhilomitha ezili-10 linyathelo elikhulu, kwaye i-arhente ayizange ichithe iminyaka embalwa edlulileyo ibeka imali yokuzonwabisa kwindawo ePhambili.
Iprojekthi ye-Mortimer ixhaswa ngemali ye-Santa Cruz Bicycles PayDirt isibonelelo kwintlangano ye-Stahlschmidt kunye nesibonelelo seNkqubo ye-NC yoLonwabo kunye ne-Trail kwi-Grandfather Ranger District ye-Pisgah National Forest.
Nangona kunjalo, njengoko besanda abantu abatyelela umhlaba kawonke wonke, imfuno yokuzonwabisa yangaphandle ingathatha indawo yemizi-mveliso yemveli efana nokugawulwa kwamaplanga kwaye ibe yinjini yophuhliso loqoqosho kwimimandla yasemaphandleni entshona kuMntla weCarolina, ebisoloko isokola ukufumana uzinzo.Isiseko sezoqoqosho.
UMassey waseWild South uthi omnye umceli mngeni ngowokuba ukusilela ekulungisweni kwemizila kunokubangela ukuba iNkonzo yaMahlathi ithathe inyathelo elitsha.
Uthe: "Phakathi kovavanyo oluqatha loxinzelelo lokuzonwabisa kunye nendlala yeCongress, iHlathi leSizwe laseNorth Carolina lilungile kakhulu ekusebenzeni namaqabane."
Iprojekthi yeMortimer ibonisa ukubakho kwentsebenziswano eyimpumelelo phakathi kwamaqela ahlukeneyo anomdla.I-Wild South ithatha inxaxheba kucwangciso nolwakhiwo lommandla weprojekthi yeMortimer.Eli qela likwabandakanyeka kwiprojekthi yokuphucula i-Linville Canyon Trail kwaye liyinxalenye yeprojekthi eyandisiweyo yomzila kufuphi ne-Old Fort.
UJennings uthe iprojekthi ye-Old Castle Trail ekhokelwa ngabahlali ifumene isibonelelo se-$140,000 sokuxhasa ngemali iprojekthi eza kuquka iimayile ezingama-35 zeendlela ezintsha ezidibanisa umhlaba kawonke wonke neMcDowell Old Fort Town kwidolophu.INkonzo yeHlathi iya kubonisa inkqubo ecetywayo yomzila kuluntu ngoJanuwari kwaye inethemba lokuqhawula kwi-2022.
UDeirdre Perot, ummeli womhlaba kawonkewonke kubakhweli bamahashe kwiindawo ezikude zaseNorth Carolina, uthe umbutho uphoxekile kukuba iprojekthi yeMortimer ayikhange ichaze indlela yabakhweli-mahashe.
Nangona kunjalo, lo mbutho ulihlakani kwezinye iiprojekthi ezimbini kwiSithili seRanger yaseTamkhulu, ngeenjongo zokwandisa amathuba okukhwela amahashe eBoonfork naseOld Fort.Iqela lakhe lifumene inkxaso-mali yabucala yokucwangcisa iindlela zexesha elizayo kunye nokuphuhlisa iindawo zokupaka ukuze kuhlaliswe iitreyila.
UJennings uthe ngenxa yendawo engumnqantsa, iprojekthi yeMortimer yeyona nto inentsingiselo yokukhwela ibhayisekile ezintabeni kunye nokunyuka intaba.
U-Stahlschmidt uthe kulo lonke ihlathi, iiprojekthi ezininzi, ezifana ne-Mertimer kunye ne-Old Fort, ziya kusasaza umthwalo wokwandisa umzila wokusetyenziswa kwezinye iindawo zokuhamba ngeebhayisikile ezintabeni.
Uthe: "Ngaphandle kwezicwangciso ezithile, ngaphandle konxibelelwano olukwinqanaba eliphezulu, ayizukwenzeka.""Lo ngumzekelo omncinci wendlela okwenzeka ngayo kwenye indawo."
