  • Environmental Assessment for the Establishment of Elk (Cervus Elaphus) in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
    Environmental Assessment for the Establishment of Elk (Cervus elaphus) in Great Smoky Mountains National Park Environmental Assessment Executive Summary ________________________________________________________________________ Elk Status and Management in Great Smoky Mountains National Park SUMMARY Elk were extirpated from the southern Appalachians in the early 1800’s pre- dating Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM, Park) establishment in 1934. In 1991, Park management took steps to initiate a habitat feasibility study to determine whether elk could survive in GRSM. The feasibility study concluded that there seemed to be adequate resources required by elk in and around GRSM, but many questions remained and could be answered only by reintroducing a small population of elk in the southern Appalachians and studying the results. An experimental release of elk was initiated in 2001 to assess the feasibility of population reestablishment in GRSM. Research efforts from 2001 to 2008 demonstrated that the current elk population had limited impact on the vegetation in GRSM, the demographic data collected supported that the population was currently sustainable, and human-elk conflicts were minimal. Estimated long-term growth rates and simulations maintained a positive growth rate in 100% of trials and produced an average annual growth rate of 1.070. This outcome indicates a sustainable elk population has been established in the Park, and has resulted in the need to develop long-term management plans for this population. Four alternatives are proposed: a No Action Alternative where the current elk management would continue based on short-term research objectives of the experimental release; an Adaptive Management Alternative where elk (the Preferred and Environmentally Preferred Alternative) are managed as a permanent resource in GRSM; an alternative with extremely limited management of elk; and an alternative implementing complete elk removal.

Although two small populations were re‐ established in northwest MN, they are currently managed at low levels to reduce human‐wildlife conflict. Forested areas of the state, however, could avoid some of these conflicts and see significant ecological and economic benefits from returning elk to the landscape.
