1 Long Distance Landscapes CONDUCTING A BASELINE VISUAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL Presented by: Brad Cownover and Matt Ramich Landscape Architects, US Forest Service
2 OVERVIEW: Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail Objectives & Benefits Methods & Results Next Steps & Lessons Learned
3 HISTORY OF THE PNT 1970: Ron Strickland s big idea 1977: First thru-hike completed by Janet Garner & Rex Bakel 1980: Feasibility study 1990s: First local trail maintenance organization formed 2000s: Volunteers advocated for National Scenic Trail status 2009: Congress designated the PNT as a National Scenic Trail
4 Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail
5 No one owns the view of scenic resources.
6 No one owns the view of scenic resources. The charming landscape which I saw this morning is indubitably made up of some twenty or thirty farms. Miller owns this field, Locke that, and Manning the woodland beyond. But none of them owns the landscape This is the best part of these men's farms, yet to this their warranty-deeds give no title. Ralph Waldo Emerson
7 BENEFITS Document existing conditions Monitor change over time Assist with Optimal Location Review Protect Quality of Trail Experience Defines Zones of Experience Restore / Enhance (from what, to what?) Public Lands Private Land (Scenic Easements, Acquisition, etc.) Inform Comprehensive Plan
8 PROJECT OVERVIEW
9 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE DETAIL Byron Stringham David Fothergill Matt Ramich
10 OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPLES Compile existing scenery resource information currently available across multiple jurisdictions Obtain a baseline visual (scenic) inventory and landscape character assessment; Evaluate existing landscape (scenic) character; Produce a seen area (visibility) and viewshed analysis; Evaluate existing scenic integrity and stability; and Complete an on site (field based) visual resource analysis and photographic documentation from the trail corridor.
