Project News

Research associate Deb Patla is monitoring amphibians in the GYE, under a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service.

Our wolverine ecology project just received a grant from the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole to develop an education & outreach program for winter backcountry enthusiasts.

The Future of Wildlife in Jackson Hole project continued with an in-house examination of incorporating science into policy, using mule deer as a case study. The final report was finished up in fall 2009, with funding from 1% for the Tetons. Download Making Science Relevant to Policy: Mule Deer in Jackson Hole (.pdf).
