IN THE SPORTS SECTION OF
The Battalion
Park
He said the state and federal gov
ernment have made commitments to
biological diversification through
endangered species legislation.
However, the endangered or
chids, or Spiranthes parksii, at Lick
Creek Park are not covered by either
state or federal protection. Federal
laws apply only to federal land or
areas where federal money is in
vested.
The state law also applies only to
endangered plants being taken from
property for sale. It does not cover
disturbing the flower’s habitat.
Wilson said other species of wild-
flower, like the Meadow Rue, also
could be in the same situation as the
Navasota Ladies’-Tress, although
these other species in the park are
rare and not endangered.
He said there are so few Navasota
Ladies’-Tresses in the park — only
— tm
several hundred — that he and
other researchers keep track of indi
vidual flowers.
He said he is most concerned
about the erosion around feeders to
the creek that might result from the
bike race.
“The plant occurs on the banks,”
Wilson said. “Anything that destroys
the banks destroys the flower. Ero
sion occurs naturally, but adding
bikes is a problem.”
The original racing course went
through the area in which Wilson
has studied the orchid. The revised
route, however, still travels along
Raccoon Run, where the orchids are
known to grow.
Charles Fischman, administrative
coordinator for the National Off-
Road Bicycle Association — the
race’s national sponsor — said NOR-
BA’s policy asks all member clubs to
respect the environment when estab
lishing a race course and while con
ducting races.
Fischmanr said general guidelines
state that organizations should get
permission from land owners or
managers when organizing a race,
with the assumption that the owner
or manager would not allow the race
if he thought it would be destructive
to the land.
“Members of our organization are
generally well-informed about land-
use issues,” he said. “We’re quite sen
sitive to the issue.”
Fischman said the B-CS environ
mentalists’ reactions are similar to
what already is hapenning through
out the country.
“College Station is not the first
time bikers have run up against envi
ronmental sensitivity,” he said.
Steve Beachy, College Stations
rector of Parks and Recreations^
the Parks and Recreations Advir
Board granted the concession:

City officials are looking at i
