ANNUAL REPORT 2019 WYOMING COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ii DEAR FRIENDS, Sometimes it’s hard to believe we recently wrapped up another decade. And what a decade it’s been. What they say is true, the days are long, and the years are short. To look back on all we have accomplished over the last three decades there is one constant. Your support. Generous people like you help build a better Wyoming. Because you are passionate about causes you care about, our nonprofit community is stronger. This year’s annual report is full of good stories we want to share with you. Without you, none of this would be possible. You have made a positive impact on so many lives in Wyoming. Your generosity helped Wyomingites, already in a tough spot, get to medical appointments critical for their health. Because you donated just $1 as you checked out at the grocery store, kids received nutritious meals afterschool and learned how to cook those meals. After reading this report, know that you helped make these stories happen. Through good and bad times, your generosity has never wavered. Here’s hoping the next decade is filled with as much good as the last three. We cannot thank you enough.

  • Climbing America's

    Climbing America's

    batical leave in Scandinavia, I finally reached the 5895m summit of Africa’s high- est mountain. In 1986, the year after I climbed Kilimanjaro, Dick Bass, Frank Wells, and Rick Ridgeway published Seven Summits, an account of Bass and Wells’ attempt to climb the highest peak on each of the world’s seven continents. I bought their book and devoured it. Inspired by it, I devised my own climbing goal—to climb at least ‘Three-and-a-Half Summits’: namely, at least three of the six highest of the Seven Summits plus Australia’s Mt Kosciuszko, which is a mere 2228m above sea level (i.e., less than half the height of Antarctica’s Vinson Massif, the sixth-lowest of the Seven Summits), and Kosciuszko can therefore, as a Kiwi I quipped, really only be regarded as a half-summit. I made reasonably quick progress towards achieving my goal. In August 1994, I climbed Russia’s Mt Elbrus, 5642m, the highest mountain in Europe. In December the same year, I summited 6962m-high Cerro Aconcagua in Argentina, the highest mountain in South America (which I like to tell people is ‘the highest mountain in the world outside Asia,’ and then hope their geography is so weak that they don’t realise how huge an exclusion clause those two words, ‘outside Asia’, are). I then decided to have a crack at climbing Denali, and on 6 July 1997 stood proudly on the 6194m-high summit of North America’s high- est peak and held up a t-shirt from Victoria University (which is where I taught political science for many years).
  • 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

    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.
