  • Sensitive and Rare Plant Species Inventory in the Salt River and Wyoming Ranges, Bridger-Teton National Forest
    Sensitive and Rare Plant Species Inventory in the Salt River and Wyoming Ranges, Bridger-Teton National Forest Prepared for Bridger-Teton National Forest P.O. Box 1888 Jackson, WY 83001 by Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming Dept 3381, 1000 E. University Avenue University of Wyoming Laramie, WY 21 February 2012 Cooperative Agreement No. 07-CS-11040300-019 ABSTRACT Three sensitive and two other Wyoming species of concern were inventoried in the Wyoming and Salt River Ranges at over 20 locations. The results provided a significant set of trend data for Payson’s milkvetch (Astragalus paysonii), expanded the known distribution of Robbin’s milkvetch (Astragalus robbinsii var. minor), and relocated and expanded the local distributions of three calciphilic species at select sites as a springboard for expanded surveys. Results to date are presented with the rest of species’ information for sensitive species program reference. This report is submitted as an interim report representing the format of a final report. Tentative priorities for 2012 work include new Payson’s milkvetch surveys in major recent wildfires, and expanded Rockcress draba (Draba globosa) surveys, both intended to fill key gaps in status information that contribute to maintenance of sensitive plant resources and information on the Forest. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All 2011 field surveys of Payson’s milkvetch (Astragalus paysonii) were conducted by Klara Varga. These and the rest of 2011 surveys built on the 2010 work of Hollis Marriott and the earlier work of she and Walter Fertig as lead botanists of Wyoming Natural Diversity Database. This project was initially coordinated by Faith Ryan (Bridger-Teton National Forest), with the current coordination and consultation of Gary Hanvey and Tyler Johnson.

    Reviewing Officer for Thomas Tidwell, Chief of the U. S. Forest Service Attn: EMC Administrative Reviews 1400 Independence Avenue SW, Mailstop 1104 Washington, DC 20250-1104 Dear U. S. Forest Service Chief Thomas Tidwell FOREST SERVICE COMMENTS Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the proposed Shoshone National Forest Plan and addendum Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). As a native of Wyoming and long-time rancher and back country outfitter the Shoshone has been of great personal importance to me and my family. My mother and father, an early physician in the Cody country since 1940, acquired the 7D Ranch in Sunlight Basin in the 1950s. And I personally own a working cattle ranch located on the Greybull River upstream of its junction with the Wood River. My comments center on 5 areas: 1. Motorized use in Francs Peak and Wood River. 2. Illegal mountain bike trail in the Dunoir Special Management Unit 3. The need for recommendations in the plan for additional wilderness designations 4. Wild & Scenic Rivers 5. Enforcement 1. Proposed motorized use in the Wood River and Francs Peak area. This critical high country habitat gives protection for the Grizzly, Mountain Sheep, bird life including blue grouse, ptarmigan, lynx and even the possibility of expanded range for elusive wolverine. Francs Peak itself is the highest of all mountains in the Absaroka Range. The trails proposed the the local ORV organization for year-round motorized vehicles would impact 37,000 acres in the Wood River and 5,900 acres in Francs Peak for winterized use. The new motorized management areas that the Forest Service proposes would significantly impact the vast majority of the Wood River roadless area and roughly a third of the Francs Peak roadless area.

    Casey McQuiston, Resources Staff Officer Shoshone National Forest 808 Meadowland Ave. Cody, Wyoming 82424 August 2, 2017 Purpose: BRG’s Official Comments For the Record to the Supplemental Draft EIS (Use of Domestic Sheep, Goats, and Pack Goats) Dear Mr. McQuiston, The Bighorn Restoration Group’s (BRG) mission is to advance the conservation and restoration of bighorn sheep throughout the southern Wind River Mountains. BRG therefore would like to offer the following official comments for the record to the Supplemental Draft EIS (Use of Domestic Sheep, Goats, and Pack Goats). If, as stated in the July 28th public meeting, the SNF chooses to extend the deadline for comments past the current August 10th deadline to define other possible alternatives to the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS), BRG may also submit additional comments at that time. July 28th, 2017 Public Meeting Outcomes BRG especially appreciates the Washakie Ranger District (WRD) of the Shoshone National Forest (SNF) hosting the public meeting on July 28th, 2017—complete with hired mediator—to aid the U.S. Forest Service and other interested parties in better understanding the complex concerns involved in this issue from the point of view of all interested parties in attendance. BRG was very pleased with the win/win dynamics and cooperative, collaborative, and accommodating tone of the meeting. We also appreciated and concur with the willingness of all parties involved to pursue and promote a final decision that seeks to formulate an agreeable ruling, which integrates and maximizes all stakeholder concerns and interests. This meeting was very informative, useful, and enlightening with the following notable findings: The disease transfer science between domestic animals and wild bighorn sheep is complicated and imperfect.

  • Mountain Ungulates
    Chapter 5 Genetic Attributes and Research Interests Elizabeth P. Flesch, Tabitha A. Graves, Robert A. Garrott, Sarah R. Dewey, and Carson J. Butler THE GENOMICS REVOLUTION AND YELLOWSTONE Genetic research and engineering have infiltrated our daily lives in countless ways. New advances due to genomics are in the news almost every day. Genomics involves identifying the structure and function of genomes, which consist of the genetic infor- mation in individuals. Prior to the 1980s, scientists had a limited ability to study genetic material called DNA, which is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. Unlike today, they could not identify criminals using forensics, diagnose certain medical conditions and inherited diseases, or genetically modify plant crops for resistance to diseases and drought. In 1985, scientists invented an approach to make many copies of a small amount of genetic material. Scientists called this replication a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A microorganism, Thermus aquaticus, discovered in a Yellowstone hot spring, provided the critical ingredient, Taq polymerase, to make this reaction possible. Taq polymerase assists in the steps necessary to replicate DNA and can withstand the heat necessary for the procedure. Today, laboratories produce many versions of this enzyme for a wide range of studies and applications. The technology that emerged from studying a Yellowstone hot spring now helps us understand, manage, and conserve the web of life in the Yellowstone area and throughout the world. 88 Greater Yellowstone’s Mountain Ungulates WHAT IS DNA AND HOW DO WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS USE IT? Just as in people, DNA provides the instruction book for life within bighorn sheep and mountain goats.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1597-A PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE NORTHERN PART OF THE WASHAKIE WILDERNESS AND NEARBY ROADLESS AREAS, PARK COUNTY, WYOMING By John C. Antweiler, Douglas W. Rankin, Frederick S. Fisher, Carl L. Long, and J. David Love, U.S. Geological Survey and Carl L. Bieniewski and R. Craig Smith, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the northern part of the Washakie Wilderness and nearby roadless areas, Shoshone National Forest, Park County, Wyo. The area was established as a wilderness by Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964. The nearby roadless areas were classified as further planning areas during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II) by the U.S.

  • Wyoming Herds (Bridger-Teton and Caribou-Targhee Forests)
    Intermountain Region BHS/Domestic Sheep-Risk Assessment for Region 4 National Forests Wyoming Herds (Bridger-Teton and Caribou-Targhee Forests) Results of Analysis December 7, 2015 Revised as of 12/9/2015 pjwb Background Because population viability analyses for Intermountain Region forests under the 2012 planning rule may not be completed for several years, an Intermountain Region Bighorn Sheep/Domestic Sheep Framework was developed to assist the Region’s forests in assessing risks to bighorn sheep populations (Ovis canadensis, BHS). The framework employs a Risk of Contact (ROC) model that estimates the potential of BHS to foray from a Core Herd Home Range (CHHR) onto nearby domestic sheep allotments. The ROC model was initially developed for use in the Payette National Forest’s Forest Plan Amendment Identifying Suitable Rangeland for Domestic Sheep and Goat Grazing to Maintain Habitat for Viable Bighorn Sheep Populations (2010). When used in the context of other factors such as population resilience and distribution, the model can assist in evaluations of risks to BHS populations for a planning unit. This document provides a brief description of BHS risk considerations including ROC model output and descriptions of Core Herd Home Ranges (CHHR) (Figure 1) on the Bridger-Teton (BTNF) and Caribou- Targhee (CTNF) National Forests in Wyoming. Data Sources and Analyses Available telemetry and observation data were used to create Core Herd Home Ranges (CHHRs) for BHS on Intermountain Region Forest lands. Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) biologists were involved in the identification and review of BHS CHHRs and the review of source habitat data as part of an expert review process.
