Nyuzipepala ya Carolina Public Press ikupereka lipoti lofufuza mozama pa nkhani zomwe zikukhudza kumadzulo kwa North Carolina m'malo osachita phindu komanso osatsatira chipani chilichonse.
M'nyengo yozizira ino, pulogalamu yokonzanso njira zomwe zikuchitika pafupi ndi Boone iwonjezera makilomita ambiri a njira zoyendera njinga zamapiri ndi makilomita ambiri kupita ku malo otchuka a akuluakulu ku Pisgah National Forest kumadzulo kwa North Carolina.
Pulojekiti ya Mortimer Trails ndi imodzi mwa mapulojekiti angapo omwe akubwera ku Grandfather Ranger District. Pulojekitiyi ikuthandizidwa ndi bungwe lachinsinsi kuti likwaniritse kufunikira kwakukulu kwa zosangalatsa kuchokera ku malo a anthu onse ku Blue Ridge Mountains ku North Carolina.
Kukwera njinga m'mapiri ndi chimodzi mwa zochitika zodziwika kwambiri ku National Forest, zomwe zimapezeka m'malo ochepa ku Pisgah ndi Nantahala National Forest, kuphatikizapo Bent Creek Experimental Forest ku Bancombe County, Transylva Pisgah Rangers ndi Dupont State Forest ku Niah County ndi Tsali Swain County Recreation Area.
Paul Starschmidt, membala wa Northwest North Carolina Mountain Bike League komanso membala wa Southern Dirt Bike Branch, anati kukulitsa njira yopita kunjira kudzalola kuti okwera magalimoto azitha kufalikira m'nkhalango ya WNC ya maekala 1 miliyoni. Ndipo kuchepetsa kupanikizika kwa njira zoyendera zomwe zimalemedwa kwambiri. Association, yomwe imadziwikanso kuti SORBA.
Malo otchedwa Mortimer Trail Complex, omwe adatchulidwa dzina la gulu la anthu odula mitengo kale, ali pa Wilson Creek Divide, pafupi ndi Wilson Creek ndi State Highway 181, m'maboma a Avery ndi Caldwell, motsatana. US Forest Service imatcha malo ozungulira a njirayo kuti "malo ozungulira".
Gwero la mtsinje lili pansi pa Phiri la Agogo, m'mphepete mwa mapiri akum'mawa a mapiri a Blue Ridge.
Okwera njinga zamapiri akufuna kuyenda kwambiri ku Wilson Creek Valley, chifukwa kuli madera ochepa akutali omwe anthu amakwera mahatchi amapezeka kum'mawa kwa United States.
M'zaka zingapo zapitazi, ngakhale kuti derali lili kutali, waona kuchepa kwachangu kwa njira za msewu umodzi m'dera la polojekitiyi.
M'zaka zingapo zapitazi, njira zimenezi zakhalabe zokhazikika chifukwa cha zovuta komanso kubisala kwake. Stahlschmidt akunena kuti njira zimenezi zidzikonza zokha pamene masamba ndi zinyalala zina zikuchira panjira ndikuziteteza ku kukokoloka kwa nthaka.
Komabe, njira za Mertimer complex zimakhala zopapatiza komanso zimatha kutayikira madzi, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti chilengedwe chiwonongeke. Mwachitsanzo, mvula ikagwa kwambiri, matope amatuluka m'madzi.
"Zambiri mwa izi zimachitika chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa anthu ogwiritsa ntchito njinga zamapiri," adatero. "Palibe masamba ambiri ndipo pali kukhuthala kwambiri m'misewu - nthawi zambiri, anthu ogwiritsa ntchito njira amakhala ndi zizindikiro zambiri."
Lisa Jennings, Woyang'anira Mapulogalamu Osewerera ndi Njira, Grandfather District, US Forest Service, adati kuwonjezera pa gulu lalikulu la anthu oyenda njinga ku Boone, Mortimer Trail ili pafupi kwambiri ndi malo okhala anthu ambiri monga Charlotte, Raleigh ndi Interstate 40 Corridor.
Iye anati: “Pamene anapita kumadzulo kumapiri, dera la agogo linali malo oyamba omwe anafikako.”
Kugwiritsa ntchito kwambiri sikuti kumakhudza kukhazikika kwa njira zoyendera, komanso zomangamanga zake zimakhala zovuta kwambiri, monga njira yokonzera ndi zizindikiro komanso malo oimika magalimoto.
Jennings anati: “Timaona njira zodzaza anthu ambiri kumadzulo kwa North Carolina kumapeto kwa sabata iliyonse.” “Ngati simungapeze njira zimenezi ndipo zili ndi mawonekedwe oipa, simudzakhala ndi nthawi yabwino. Mu ntchito yathu monga oyang'anira malo, ndikofunikira kuti anthu azisangalala nazo.”
Popeza ili ndi bajeti yochepa, Forest Service Bureau ikufuna kudalira ogwirizana nawo kuti asunge, akonze ndikuwonjezera liwiro la makilomita kuti azolowere kutukuka kwa zosangalatsa ndi zosangalatsa.
Mu 2012, bungwe la Forest Service linachita msonkhano wa anthu onse kuti apange njira yoyendetsera misewu yopanda injini m'nkhalango za dziko la Pisgah ndi Nantahala. Lipoti lotsatira lakuti “Nantahala and Pisgah Trail Strategy 2013″ linati njira zoyendera maulendo oyenda pansi ndi njinga za mtunda wa makilomita 1,560 za dongosololi zinaposa mphamvu zake.
Malinga ndi mapeto a lipotilo, njira zoyendera nthawi zambiri zimayikidwa mwachisawawa, zopanda kapangidwe kogwirizana ndi zosowa za ogwiritsa ntchito ndipo zimakhala ndi dzimbiri.
Nkhani zimenezi zinabweretsa mavuto aakulu ku bungweli, ndipo kukhwimitsa bajeti ya boma kunaika bungweli m'mavuto, motero kunali kofunikira kugwirizana ndi oyang'anira malo ena ndi magulu odzipereka (monga SORBA).
Kugwirizana ndi magulu ogwiritsa ntchito ndi gawo lofunika kwambiri pakukonzekera kwa Pisgah ndi Nantahala National Forest Management Plan, yomwe idatulutsidwa mu February 2020 ndipo ikuyembekezeka kumalizidwa mu theka lachiwiri la 2021.
Stahlschmidt adatenga nawo gawo pa ndondomeko ya anthu onse yokonza dongosolo loyendetsera ntchito ndipo adatenga nawo gawo pamisonkhano ya 2012 ndi 2013 yokhudza njira zoyendera madera osiyanasiyana. Adawona mwayi wogwirizana ndi Forest Service Bureau kuti akulitse misewu yoyendera njinga.
Bungwe la Northwest NC Mountain Bike Alliance linasaina pangano lodzifunira ndi Forest Service mu 2014, ndipo kuyambira pamenepo lakhala likutsogolera pakuchita mapulojekiti ang'onoang'ono okonzanso njira m'malo otsetsereka a Mortimer.
Stahlschmidt adati madalaivala akhala akusonyeza mgwirizano ndi kusowa kwa zizindikiro m'malo ena (monga Mortimer). Pali misewu yonse ya makilomita 70 mu Wilson Creek Basin. Malinga ndi Jennings, 30% yokha mwa iwo amatha kukwera njinga zamapiri.
Njira zambiri zimakhala ndi njira zakale zomwe zilibe vuto. Njira ndi njira zotsalazo ndi zotsalira za misewu yakale yodula mitengo ndi mizere yakale yamoto.
Iye anati: “Sipanakhalepo njira yopangira njinga zamapiri popanda msewu.” “Iyi ndi mwayi wowonjezera njira zoyendera maulendo oyenda pansi komanso njinga zamapiri zokhazikika.”
Kusowa kwa njira kungayambitse "kusaka nyama" kapena "kuba" njira zosaloledwa, monga Lost Bay ndi Harper River ku Avery County ndi Caldwell County mkati mwa Wilson Creek Basin, madera awiri ofufuza za nkhalango kapena njira za WSA.
Ngakhale kuti si gawo lodziwika bwino la National Wilderness System, kukwera njinga m'mapiri panjira za WSA n'kosaloledwa.
Otsatira nkhalango ndi okwera njinga akusangalala ndi kutali kwa derali. Ngakhale kuti okwera njinga ena a m’mapiri amafuna kuona malo m’nkhalango, izi zimafuna kusintha malamulo a boma.
Chikalata chogwirizana chomwe chinasainidwa mu 2015 ndi mabungwe 40 am'deralo cholinga chake ndikupanga malo osangalalira mdziko lonse m'dera la Grandfather Ranger chayambitsa mkangano pakati pa okwera njinga zamapiri ndi olimbikitsa nkhalango.
Anthu ena okonda nkhalango akuda nkhawa kuti chikalatachi ndi njira yokambirana. Chimasiya tsogolo lake losatha la nkhalango posinthana ndi thandizo la okwera njinga zamapiri kuti apeze nkhalango zina m'nkhalango ya dzikolo.
Kevin Massey, mkulu wa polojekiti ya ku North Carolina ku bungwe lopanda phindu lopeza malo a anthu onse la Wild South, anati mkangano pakati pa okwera njinga zamapiri ndi olimbikitsa nkhalango ndi wolakwika.
Iye anati ngakhale bungwe lake limalimbikitsa kuti nkhalango zikhale zambiri, onse olimbikitsa nkhalango ndi okwera njinga zamapiri ali ndi chidwi ndi njira zambiri zoyendera mapiri ndipo amathandizana.
Stahlschmidt anati cholinga cha Mortimer Trail Project sikuti chikhale choletsa anthu kuti asayende m'njira zachifwamba.
Iye anati: “Sitili apolisi.” “Choyamba, palibe njira zokwanira zokwaniritsira zosowa ndi mitundu ya zokumana nazo zokwera mahatchi zomwe anthu amafuna. Tikugwira ntchito molimbika kuti tipeze njira zambiri zopezera ndi kupeza zizindikiro zambiri.”
Mu 2018, bungwe la Forest Service linachita msonkhano ndi anthu oyenda pa njinga zamapiri ku lesitilanti ku Banner Elk kuti akambirane za ntchito yopititsa patsogolo misewu m'derali.
"Chinthu chomwe ndimakonda kwambiri kuchita ndikutenga mapu opanda kanthu, kuyang'ana malo okongola, kenako kuganizira zomwe tingachite," anatero Jennings wa Forest Service.
Zotsatira zake ndi dongosolo la njira yoyendera lomwe lawunikidwanso poyera kuti likonze misewu ya njinga zamapiri ya makilomita 23 yomwe ilipo pano ku Mortimer complex, ndikuchepetsa mtunda wa makilomita angapo, ndikuwonjezera mtunda wa makilomita 10 wa misewu.
Dongosololi linapezanso ma culvert a misewu yopapatiza omwe sanagwire ntchito bwino. Ma culvert osagwira ntchito bwino amawonjezera kukokoloka kwa nthaka, amawononga ubwino wa madzi, ndipo amakhala zopinga kwa mitundu monga trout ndi sal zomwe zimasamukira kumapiri okwera.
Monga gawo la pulojekiti ya Mortimer, Trout Unlimited idapereka ndalama zothandizira pakupanga kapangidwe ka arch kopanda malire ndikusintha ma culverts owonongeka, omwe amapereka njira yayikulu yopitira zamoyo ndi zinyalala panthawi yamvula yamphamvu.
Malinga ndi Jennings, mtengo wa kilomita imodzi ya misewu ndi pafupifupi $30,000. Kwa bungwe la federal lomwe lili ndi mavutowa, kuwonjezera makilomita 10 ndi sitepe yaikulu, ndipo bungweli silinathe zaka zingapo zapitazi likuyika ndalama zosangalalira pamalo a Priority.
Pulojekiti ya Mortimer imathandizidwa ndi ndalama zothandizira Santa Cruz Bicycles PayDirt ku bungwe la Stahlschmidt ndi ndalama zothandizira pulogalamu ya NC Recreation and Trail Program ku Grandfather Ranger District ya Pisgah National Forest.
Komabe, pamene anthu ambiri akupita ku malo a anthu onse, kufunikira kwa zosangalatsa zakunja kungalowe m'malo mwa mafakitale achikhalidwe monga kudula mitengo ndikukhala injini ya chitukuko cha zachuma m'madera akumidzi kumadzulo kwa North Carolina, omwe akhala akuvutika kupeza bata. Maziko azachuma.
Massey wa ku Wild South akuti vuto limodzi ndilakuti kuchedwa kwa kukonza njira kungapangitse kuti Forest Service itengepo gawo latsopano.
Iye anati: "Pakati pa mayeso aakulu a kukakamizidwa ndi zosangalatsa komanso njala ya Congress, National Forest of North Carolina ndi yabwino kwambiri kugwira ntchito ndi anzawo."
Pulojekiti ya Mortimer ikuwonetsa kuthekera kwa mgwirizano wopambana pakati pa magulu osiyanasiyana okonda zinthu. Wild South imatenga nawo mbali pakukonzekera ndi kumanga dera la projekiti ya Mortimer. Gululi likuchitanso nawo ntchito yokonza Linville Canyon Trail ndipo ndi gawo la projekiti ina yotalikirapo ya njira pafupi ndi Old Fort.
Jennings adati pulojekiti ya Old Castle Trail yotsogozedwa ndi anthu ammudzi idalandira ndalama zokwana $140,000 zothandizira pulojekiti yomwe idzaphatikizapo mtunda wa makilomita 35 wa njira zatsopano zogwirira ntchito zosiyanasiyana zomwe zimalumikiza malo aboma ndi McDowell Old Fort Town m'boma. Bungwe la Forest Service lidzawonetsa anthu njira zomwe zakonzedwa mu Januwale ndipo likuyembekeza kuyamba kugwira ntchito mu 2022.
Deirdre Perot, woimira anthu onse pa malo oyendera mahatchi m'madera akutali ku North Carolina, anati bungweli lakhumudwa kuti polojekiti ya Mortimer sinatchule njira yoyendetsera mahatchi.
Komabe, bungweli ndi logwirizana ndi mapulojekiti ena awiri ku Grandfather Ranger District, cholinga chake ndikukulitsa mwayi wokwera mahatchi ku Boonfork ndi Old Fort. Gulu lake linalandira ndalama zothandizira payekha kuti akonze njira zamtsogolo ndikupanga malo oimika magalimoto kuti azitha kuyendetsa mathireyala.
Jennings anati chifukwa cha malo otsetsereka, pulojekiti ya Mortimer ndi yofunika kwambiri pa njinga zamapiri komanso kukwera mapiri.
Stahlschmidt adati m'nkhalango yonse, mapulojekiti ambiri, monga Mertimer ndi Old Fort, adzafalitsa ntchito yowonjezera yogwiritsa ntchito njira zoyendera kumadera ena oyenda njinga m'mapiri.
Iye anati: “Popanda mapulani ena, popanda kulankhulana kwapamwamba, sizingachitike.” “Ichi ndi chitsanzo chaching’ono cha momwe izi zinachitikira kwina.”

Mothandizidwa ndi owerenga ngati inu, timapereka nkhani zofufuza bwino kuti anthu ammudzi akhale ndi chidziwitso komanso kulumikizana bwino. Uwu ndi mwayi wanu wothandizira nkhani zodalirika komanso zogwira ntchito m'deralo. Chonde tigwirizaneni nafe!
Carolinas Public Press ndi bungwe lodziyimira pawokha lopanda phindu lodzipereka kupereka nkhani zosakondera, zakuya komanso zofufuza kutengera mfundo ndi mbiri zomwe anthu aku North Carolina ayenera kudziwa. Lipoti lathu lopambana mphoto komanso lodziwika bwino lachotsa zopinga ndikuwunikira mavuto akuluakulu omwe anthu okhala m'boma la 10.2 miliyoni akukumana nawo. Thandizo lanu lidzapereka ndalama zothandizira utolankhani wofunikira pazaumoyo wa anthu.
