Using All Fours, part 2
This skills program is part 2 of our look at the science and skills, myths and fact around trekking poles. Is hiking with poles a trendy gimmick, or a valuable skill? Julianne Abendroth-Smith talks about the results of research into the effects on the body of hiking with trekking poles. She’s a biomechanics professor at Willamette University in Salem Oregon. We hear from Jayah Faye Paley, an author and educator, and co-host of an educational DVD, POLES for hiking, Trekking & Walking. Jayah’s web site, Adventure Buddies, provides more information about her educational products and services. Jayah describes basic skills for using trekking poles. Trekking poles can have a destructive effect on the trails that shoes alone don’t have. Ben Lawhon, the education director of the Leave No Trace Center for outdoor Ethics, talks about those effects. Members of the WildeBeat can download an additional bonus segment, featuring Jayah Faye Paley in a beginner’s tutorial about proper pole use. Look for the link in our insiders newsletter.

Listening to Parks, part 1
This wild places program explores sounds in national parks. Do you go to parks for the peace and quiet? Should you expect peace and quiet at national parks? Steve starts out in a relatively remote campground in Yosemite National Park, and discovers some noises he wasn’t counting on. He interviews two campers, Maria Mustanen and Bill Garcia, about how they feel about man-made noise in parks. Steve interviews Kurt Fristrup, a scientist for the Natural Sounds Program of the National Park Service. Kurt explains the mission of the Natural Sounds Program, and how they monitor the parks for noise pollution. He plays clips recorded by their audio measuring equipment, which they place in remote locations in the parks. Kurt mentions the park service’s Night Sky Program, which we covered in our Wilderness at Night, part 1 (#13) and part 2 (#14). So what have Kurt and his colleagues found out about noise in parks? How can you help their efforts, and collect sounds for yourself? We’ll explore those questions in part two. Show number 89 [MP3 format; length 9:50; 2,361,460 bytes] Show number 89 script
