  • WPLI Resolution
    Matters from Staff Agenda Item # 17 Board of County Commissioners ‐ Staff Report Meeting Date: 11/13/2018 Presenter: Alyssa Watkins Submitting Dept: Administration Subject: Consideration of Approval of WPLI Resolution Statement / Purpose: Consideration of a resolution proclaiming conservation principles for US Forest Service Lands in Teton County as a final recommendation of the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) process. Background / Description (Pros & Cons): In 2015, the Wyoming County Commissioners Association (WCCA) established the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) to develop a proposed management recommendation for the Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in Wyoming, and where possible, pursue other public land management issues and opportunities affecting Wyoming’s landscape. In 2016, Teton County elected to participate in the WPLI process and appointed a 21‐person Advisory Committee to consider the Shoal Creek and Palisades WSAs. Committee meetings were facilitated by the Ruckelshaus Institute (a division of the University of Wyoming’s Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources). Ultimately the Committee submitted a number of proposals, at varying times, to the BCC for consideration. Although none of the formal proposals submitted by the Teton County WPLI Committee were advanced by the Board of County Commissioners, the Board did formally move to recognize the common ground established in each of the Committee’s original three proposals as presented on August 20, 2018. The related motion stated that the Board chose to recognize as a resolution or as part of its WPLI recommendation, that all members of the WPLI advisory committee unanimously agree that within the Teton County public lands, protection of wildlife is a priority and that there would be no new roads, no new timber harvest except where necessary to support healthy forest initiatives, no new mineral extraction excepting gravel, no oil and gas exploration or development.

  • 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.

    From: Jackson Hole Children"s Museum To: Arne Jorgensen Subject: Time is Running Out! Date: Thursday, July 29, 2021 10:24:21 AM View this email in your browser "During a year of so much uncertainty, our family was so grateful to have the resources and support of local preschool programs at Children’s Learning Center, Jackson Hole Children’s Museum and Teton Literacy Center. It brought us peace of mind to know that there were caring, professional educators working to minimize the impact of this difficult year on our kids." – Jackson Hole Parent SEE ALL STORIES Hello friends and supporters, You’ve heard it before: kids are resilient. They’re capable of navigating big challenges and being okay. But with the help of caring teachers and peers, their chances are even better. When kids have professional support, guidance, and excellent education, they’re significantly more likely to come out of a challenging time — like the pandemic — with healthy social, emotional, and academic skills and on-track development. The Jackson Hole Children’s Museum, Teton Literacy Center, and Children’s Learning Center are dedicated to collaborating and implementing innovative programming to maximize the resilience of local kids in this critical moment. With programming that includes experience-based curricula as well as an expanded focus on social-emotional development, our organizations are teaming up to ensure that kids have every chance to be as resilient as possible. Your support of Champions for Children will empower us to continue this critical work. Healthy, happy kids make for healthy, happy families — which in turn makes for a thriving workforce, economy, and community.

  • Wyoming Plant Species of Concern on Caribou-Targhee National Forest: 2007 Survey Results
    WYOMING PLANT SPECIES OF CONCERN ON CARIBOU-TARGHEE NATIONAL FOREST: 2007 Survey Results Teton and Lincoln counties, Wyoming Prepared for Caribou-Targhee National Forest By Michael Mancuso and Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, Laramie, WY University of Wyoming Department 3381, 1000 East University Avenue Laramie, WY 82071 FS Agreement No. 06-CS-11041563-097 March 2008 ABSTRACT In 2007, the Caribou-Targhee NF contracted the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD) to survey for the sensitive plant species Androsace chamaejasme var. carinata (sweet- flowered rock jasmine) and Astragalus paysonii (Payson’s milkvetch). The one previously known occurrence of Androsace chamaejasme var. carinata on the Caribou-Targhee NF at Taylor Mountain was not relocated, nor was the species found in seven other target areas having potential habitat. Astragalus paysonii was found to be extant and with more plants than previously reported at the Cabin Creek occurrence. It was confirmed to be extirpated at the Station Creek Campground occurrence. During surveys for Androsace , four new occurrences of Lesquerella carinata var. carinata (keeled bladderpod) and one new occurrence of Astragalus shultziorum (Shultz’s milkvetch) were discovered. In addition, the historical Lesquerella multiceps (Wasatch bladderpod) occurrence at Ferry Peak was relocated. These are all plant species of concern in Wyoming. In addition to field survey results, a review of collections at the Rocky Mountain Herbarium (RM) led to several occurrences of Lesquerella carinata var. carinata and Lesquerella paysonii (Payson’s bladderpod) being updated in the WYNDD database . Conservation needs for Androsace chamaejasme var. carinata , Astragalus paysonii , and the three Lesquerella species were identified during the project.
