The refuge was created to offset, in part, losses of breeding and nesting habitat in the prairie wetland region of the Midwest. Most of the land was purchased with funds derived from the sale of Duck Stamps. Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located in an intermountain glacial basin immediately south of Walden, the county seat of Jackson County, Colorado. The basin is approximately 30 miles wide and 45 miles long. Since it is the most northern of four such "parks" in Colorado, it is known locally as "North Park". The Ute Indians referred to North Park as "Cow Lodge" and "Bull Pen." They were the first visitors to the area and remained only during the summer months to hunt bison, abandoning the valley during the long, snowy and icy winters.

  • Profile Inside History Awards Faculty Work Field Alumni Outreach Research Students Traditions Growth
    Fall 2009 From the Department heaD art Snoke y the time that you read this issue of the PROfile, classes Bfor the fall 2009 semester will have ended, finals week will be over, and many G&G faculty and students will be at the AGU Annual Meeting in San Francisco. The past six months have brought some surprises—both good and bad—and one of the most intense semesters that I have experienced as the Head of the Department. The first file and most unexpected surprise happened on June 4th when I learned that University- wide budget cuts had eliminated the positions of Curator and Museum Secretary as well as the support budget for the UW Geological Museum. The early history of the Geological Museum goes back to the beginning of the University and is one of S.H. Knight’s great legacies to the people of the State of Wyoming. Needless to say this announcement was a shock to the Laramie, State of Wyoming, and scientific communities and led to an immediate outcry from the public and scientists across the nation. The Geological Museum closed on June 30th; however, it was reopened on August 25th, but without a Curator or support budget. Near the end of summer the University administration allowed the formation of the “Committee to Reinvent the UW Geological Museum,” and I presently Chair that committee. I do not have sufficient space to tell you of the various activities of this committee, but clearly a PRO high priority is to develop a plan to make the Geological Museum financially self- sustaining.

Individual Reports of Members of the Committee on Educational Problems in National Parks, Together with Minutes of Early Meetings of Committee HE specific recommendations resulting from studies of the Committee on Educational Problems Tin National Parks have already been presented to the Secretary of the Interior through reports of the Committee under date of January 9, 1929, and November 27, 1929. These results were based upon extensive studies by members of the Committee working individually and in groups through a period of approximately two years. In the course of these investigations much material of value was accumulated by individual members. Each of these reports was transmitted at the earliest possible moment to National Park Service for use in development of various aspects of the educational pro- gram. In order that the data in these separate reports, and the expressions of opinion of the Com- mittee in the earlier minutes, may be of record with the office of the Park Service, it was decided by the Committee to have these documents put into permanent form by means of gathered proof sheets. The following pages representing work of the seven members of the Committee on Educational Problems in National Parks, while not approved by the Committee as a whole, have the authority of confidential expression by the individual members. It is believed that much of importance will be developed in use of the material. The reports are arranged in alphabetical order according to authors, and in general alphabetically by subjects touched by the authors.

View to the southeast looking toward the high peaks near the north end of the Never Summer Mountains. Highest peak on the skyline (right) is Mount Richthofen (12,940 feet [3,944 meters]), which is composed of 29.7-mega-annum (Ma, million years ago) granodiorite and monzonite of the Mount Richthofen stock. The serrate portion of the skyline to the left of Mount Richthofen, known as the Nokhu Crags, is composed of thermally metamorphosed Pierre Shale. Northeast-dipping rocks and sediments of the North Park Formation are locally exposed at Owl Ridge in the foreground. The base of the ledge-forming rocks in right foreground mark the base of the North Park Formation. The communications tower in left foreground is on the eroded top of the formation. A thin, 28.1-Ma ash-flow tuff, erupted from the Braddock Peak volcanic and intrusive complex in the north part of the Never Summer Mountains, is locally exposed slightly above the ledge-forming rocks in the right foreground.
