This plan revises and updates that original plan. This revision was prepared by the Park County Office of Homeland Security with the assistance of contractor, Beck Consulting. The content of the plan relies on the advice and guidance of the Local Emergency Planning Committee, elected officials, local government staff, a local planning team formed for this purpose, and members of the public. This revision was unusual because of the high level of direct involvement of the local jurisdictions’ elected officials. Information was available about the project through coverage by the Cody Enterprise, the Powell Tribune, and the Park County Office of Homeland Security. The draft plan was made available at city/town and county offices, the three public libraries, and online,

Lyman, Ph.D. Garcia and Associates 7550 Shedhorn Drive Bozeman, MT 59718 Peer Review Administered by Society for Conservation Biology Marriott, H. and J.C. Lyman. (2006, May 9). Townsendia condensata Parry ex Gray var. anomala (Heiser) Dorn (cushion Townsend daisy): a technical conservation assessment. [Online]. USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Region. Available: http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/projects/scp/assessments/townsendiacondensatavaranomala.pdf [date of access]. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We are grateful to several of our colleagues who have authored thorough and clearly-written technical conservation assessments, providing us with excellent examples to follow, including Bonnie Heidel (Wyoming Natural Diversity Database [WYNDD]), Joy Handley (WYNDD), Denise Culver (Colorado Natural Heritage Program), and Juanita Ladyman (JnJ Associates LLC). Beth Burkhart, Kathy Roche, and Richard Vacirca of the Species Conservation Project of the Rocky Mountain Region, USDA Forest Service, gave useful feedback on meeting the goals of the project. Field botanists Kevin and Amy Taylor, Walt Fertig, Bob Dorn, and Erwin Evert generously shared insights on the distribution, habitat requirements, and potential threats for Townsendia condensata var. anomala. Kent Houston of the Shoshone National Forest provided information regarding its conservation status and management issues. Bonnie Heidel and Tessa Dutcher (WYNDD) once again provided much needed information in a timely fashion. We thank Curator Ron Hartman and Manager Ernie Nelson of the Rocky Mountain Herbarium, University of Wyoming, for their assistance and for continued access to their fine facilities.

    2021 ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 3 WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE. The West isn’t just a direction. It’s not just a mark on a map or a point on a compass. The West is our heritage and our soul. It’s our parents and our grandparents. It’s the explorers and trailblazers and outlaws who came before us. And the proud people who were here before them. It’s the adventurous spirit that forged the American character. It’s wide-open spaces that dare us to dream audacious dreams. And grand mountains that make us feel smaller and bigger all at the same time. It’s a thump in your chest the first time you stand face to face with a buffalo. And a swelling of pride that a place like this still exists. It’s everything great about America. And it still flows through our veins. Some people say it’s vanishing. But we say it never will. It will live as long as there are people who still live by its code and safeguard its wonders. It will live as long as there are places like Yellowstone and towns like Cody, Wyoming. Because we are blood brothers, Yellowstone and Cody. One and the same. This is where the Great American Adventure calls home. And if you listen closely, you can hear it calling you. 4 CODYYELLOWSTONE.ORG CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 5 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody with eight Native American members of the cast of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, HISTORY ca.
