Study on the cattle industry in Canyonlands National Park. The intention of the study is to trace the history of the cattle industry as it was done in the park. The study is divided into three sections: 1) discussion of the open range cattle industry in the last decades of the 19th century 2) a look at the park itself, the topography, Colorado and Green Rivers and 3) a look at the land in the park located between the rivers, Island in the Sky and White Rim country. Published by Historic Preservation Team, Denver Service Center, National Park Service, U.S. Dept. of the Interior, in 1972.

This report describes the work performed by the Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team at Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve and Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve during the 2011 season including objectives, methods, and major conclusions. This field work is a continuation of work done by the Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team in the summer of 2010. The 2011 season was divided into four main regions from highest to lowest priority: Coal Creek Camp; Slaven’s Roadhouse; the Dalton Highway south of Coldfoot, AK; and Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve along the Middle Fork of the Koyukuk River. The main area of focus during the 2011 season was the high traffic areas along Coal Creek; a tributary...

During the 2012 field season, the Central Alaska Network (CAKN) Stream Monitoring Program made 130 site visits to 58 unique stream sites across the network (Figure 1), with each site being sampled one to five times from early May through late September. The data collected included instantaneous water chemistry, stream flow, water chemistry samples, macroinvertebrates, benthic diatoms, stable isotope samples, habitat data and environmental DNA samples. Continuous year-round temperature monitoring at 23 sites across the network is ongoing. At the request of DENA staff, the Stream Monitoring Program collected water chemistry, metals, invertebrates and diatoms from 7 sites in the Kantishna Hills. Active layer depth...

Canyonlands National Park has an excellent interpretation and education program. Visitors enjoy quality services that meet diverse needs and promote sustainable experiences. In order to maintain and even increase this high level of quality, a variety of actions are recommended over the next 5-10 years. Chief among them are: • Expand and renovate the Island in the Sky Visitor Center • Explore options for additional visitor amenities at Island in the Sky • Improve services for "windshield visitors" (those staying for just a few hours) in the Needles District; this includes front-end research • Reduce the numbers of different signs at trailheads; improve appearance and effectiveness of signs • Install new wayside exhibits...

This report describes the work performed by the Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve during the 2013 season. Three Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team members were stationed at Park Headquarters in Copper Center while working at various locations within the park and preserve. Work focused on invasive plant inventories and treatments park-wide, revegetation/ restoration efforts around park facilities and native seed collection in Kennicott Valley. Work was mapped using Trimble GeoXT units and was performed with the help of volunteers, a Southeast Alaska Guidance Association crew, Youth Conservation Corps interns, one Student Conservation Association intern, one Chicago...
This report describes the results of the 2006 field season for the Central Alaska Network (CAKN) flowing waters monitoring program. The key objectives for the 2006 field season were to assess the logistics involved in various sampling approaches and to collect data from a variety of streams as a way to begin to determine the range of natural variability for various candidate biological, chemical and physical metrics. I was able to collect data at 13 study sites located throughout WRST. Two of these sites were visited in two different seasons (summer and autumn) to assess seasonal variability, which was substantial for invertebrates and diatoms and moderate for water chemistry parameters. At one of these sites, multiple...
This report describes the work performed by the Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team at Denali National Park & Preserve during the 2010 field season. The Exotic Plant Management Team staff at Denali National Park & Preserve was comprised of two American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funded Student Conservation Association interns and one seasonal National Park Service employee. For the seventh consecutive year, invasive plant inventory and control occurred within the park focusing on the entrance area including the Denali Park Road, Visitor Center, railroad station, and campground. Invasive plant infestations were mapped using a Trimble 2003 GeoXT and manual weeding was performed with the help of three Southeast...
This document summarized the effort to derive new map data using reclassification logic or rule-based aggregation processes for WRST. The final map data set retains this highly detailed “bird’s-eye view” level of information in the form of a land cover database. Generalized land cover maps may then be derived from this detailed land cover database. In addition, alternative more directed detailed maps may be derived from the land cover database as needed.
Executive Summary: Wolf populations have been monitored in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (YUCH) from March 1993 to present. Beginning October 2005 the project was incorporated into Central Alaska Network (CAKN) Vital signs monitoring program as a cost shared venture. Wolves throughout Yukon-Charley Rivers area are targeted for monitoring of abundance and distribution. All monitored packs routinely travel outside the Preserve, some extensively. This past winter, wolf captures were conducted in November 2011 and March 2012. Monitoring radio collared packs via radio telemetry flights will occur throughout the year with a concentrated period of flights in March – April and again in September – October. All...

This document presents a plant association classification for Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (Yukon-Charley Rivers NP) and describes boreal forest successional trajectories following fire. The classification and successional trajectories provide resource managers with essential information to understand the vegetation and ecology of Yukon-Charley Rivers NP. This document also lists vascular plant species identified during the project, a review of the Preserve’s ecological literature, a description of the climate and geology, and the project’s methods.
