The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national

Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

    Appendix 87 FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT LAKE TROUT DISPLACE BULL TROUT IN MOUNTAIN LAKES Wade Fredenberg, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Kalispell, MT 59901 ABSTRACT I surveyed five large mountain lakes in Glacier National Park, Montana, with gill nets in 2000 to assess the status of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) populations. I compared results to previous surveys, conducted in 1969 and 1977, at which time numbers of native bull trout were higher than recently established populations of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush). The data indicate a broad decline in bull trout numbers and corresponding increases in lake trout population size in Kintla, Bowman, Logging, and McDonald lakes. In Quartz Lake, where lake trout are not known to occur, bull trout catch was stable across years. These data suggest that lake trout expansion has had a substantial detrimental impact on Glacier National Park bull trout populations especially because variables commonly implicated in bull trout population decline elsewhere across the species' range are not significant factors in Park lakes. I contend that effective recovery actions for adfluvial bull trout populations, in mountain lakes where nonnative lake trout have become established, must be directed at reducing species interaction through directed control actions on lake trout. I suggest that the rate and magnitude of the transition from native bull trout to introduced lake trout may depend on multiple factors, including migration of either species, the extent and quality of bull trout spawning and rearing habitat, and the structure of the lacustrine food chain. Four of the five bull trout populations I studied in Glacier National Park lakes are currently at high risk of extirpation, due primarily to incompatibility with introduced lake trout populations.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2010 Resource selection, movement, recruitment, and impact of winter backcountry recreation on bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) in the Teton Range, northwest Wyoming Project Investigator: Matthew Kauffman, Unit Leader, Wyoming Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming 82071 Co-Investigator: Alyson Courtemanch, M.S. Candidate, Wyoming Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming 82071 PROJECT BACKGROUND The Teton Range bighorn sheep herd resides year-round at high elevations in Grand Teton National Park and on the Bridger- Teton and Caribou-Targhee National Forests. Although the herd historically wintered at lower elevations in Jackson Hole and Teton Basin, they now winter exclusively in wilderness areas at high elevation on windswept ridges and slopes. It is Wyoming’s smallest and most isolated native herd- a remnant population of approximately 100-150 sheep derived from a much larger bighorn sheep complex that historically lived in northwest Wyoming. Unlike many other bighorn sheep herds in the Rocky Mountain West, the Teton herd has yet to undergo a transplant to augment population size. However, the population’s hold on the future is tenuous, owing to its small size, genetic isolation from surrounding herds, and the combined effects of loss of historic winter ranges, habitat Figure 1. Project study area. alteration due to fire suppression, and potential impacts by increasing winter backcountry recreation. Much of the current information regarding these threats and the status of this native population is incomplete. The data from our study will provide the most extensive and complete picture of bighorn sheep habitat use, seasonal distribution, movement, and recruitment (lamb survival) in the Teton Range to date.
