During summer 2011, the University of Wyoming American Studies Program offered “Field Studies in Historic Preservation: Preparing a Preservation Treatment Guide for the Historic AMK Ranch.” This 3-credit, upper-level undergraduate course introduced students to the process of documenting and assessing the condition of historic buildings and developing treatment protocols. The majority of the course was devoted to inspecting buildings, interviewing property managers, researching solutions to common problems and writing a “Preservation Treatment Guide” for use by National Park Service and University of Wyoming personnel. Students also studied log building maintenance and repair at other historic sites within Grand Teton National Park and conducted experiments and demonstrations at the AMK Ranch. Through this field course, students were given the opportunity to assist in fulfilling a contract with the National Park Service and to learn about how the park manages its historic and cultural resources. The course was taught by University of Wyoming Research Scientist Mary Humstone, with assistance from building conservation specialist Harrison Goodall of Langley, Washington, and Grand Teton National Park Cultural Resource Specialist Katherine Longfield

This project investigated the history of the backcountry trail system in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP). In cooperation with GTNP Cultural Resources and the Western Center for Historic Preservation in GTNP, we located records describing the early development of the trail system. Only a few historical records describe or map the exact location of early trails, which prove useful when relocating trails today. The paper trail becomes quite rich, however, in revealing the story behind the practical development of Grand Teton National Park as it joined the National Park Service system.

The objective is an inventory of the "mushrooms'' to be found in Grand Teton National Park. The study includes all macromycetes of fungi with macroscopic or large, conspicuous fruiting bodies. Most are fleshy or woody Ascomycetes or Basidiomycetes but some are classified in other major taxa. Although there are no published floristic studies of the fungi of this area occasional and sporadic records of collections from the Tetons or Yellowstone are published, including type collections of at least two new species: Cortinarius ashii McKnight & Dublin (1975) and Lactarius gossypinus Hesler & Smith (1979). An interim report listing 131 species was submitted as a contribution to the University of Wyoming-National Park Service Annual Report for 1978 (McKnight, 1978).

During summer 2010, the University of Wyoming American Studies Program offered “Field Studies in Historic Preservation: Elk Ranch Determination of Eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places.” This 3-credit, upper-level undergraduate course introduced students to the process of documenting, evaluating and understanding historic buildings and cultural landscapes through field work. The course included readings, lectures, discussions, directed field work, archival research and writing. Students were given the opportunity to assist in fulfilling a contract with the National Park Service and to learn about how the park manages its historic and cultural resources. The course was taught by Research Scientist Mary Humstone, with assistance from University of Wyoming American Studies Folklife Specialist Andrea Graham and NPS Cultural Resource Specialist Katherine Longfield.

Operating under a grant from the University of Wyoming-National Park Service Research Station, personnel from the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist and volunteers located andre-recorded two soapstone sources in Grand Teton National Park: 48TE1255 B Slim Lawrence's Asbestos Mine B and 48TE529. Over on the west side of the Tetons, in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, we located and recorded a historic mine, three new prehistoric sites, and a previously unrecorded soapstone source: 48TE1646 - the Rammel Mountain talc mine. Among the six newly discovered sites is 48TE1647, which contains two broken soapstone bowl preforms and a broken vessel associated with other prehistoric artifacts. This is interpreted to be evidence of prehistoric manufacture of soapstone bowls in Wyoming. More work needs to be done at this site as well as other in the Tetons.

Proposed construction and development projects that require Federal permits are subject to review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, which requires that the Federal decision-maker take into account the project's potential effects on cultural resources listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Over the years and especially after 1990 when the National Park Service released Bulletin 38, Guidelines for Evaluating and Documenting Traditional Cultural Properties (TCPs), Section 106 review has increased the consideration of designating TCPs and consultation with the Indian tribal organizations that value them. Bulletin 38 defines TCPs as places that have been historically important in maintaining the cultural identify of a community.

Invertebrates are receiving an increasing amount of conservation attention across North America. Currently, about 40% of the animals listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) are invertebrates (www.NatureServe.org). The National Park Service and other agencies require better information on invertebrate faunas in order to effectively conserve this important group of animals. One way to prioritize invertebrate groups for study is to assess the number of rare taxa within a given genus. In this context, Oreohelix (mountainsnails) are a top priority because the genus is assumed to support a very high percentage of rare and endemic taxa. Additionally, Oreohelix species in Wyoming and surrounding states have been petitioned for ESA listing in the recent past. The diversity of Oreohelix forms in Wyoming is not well-understood, and the current taxonomy may not reflect the true pattern of diversity within the state. Therefore, we are studying both the morphology and genetic structure of Oreohelix in Grand Teton National Park to begin to understand the diversity of mountainsnails in the state. We collected Oreohelix from 4 locations in Grand Teton National Park. Based on shell and internal characteristics, all individuals were identified as O. subrudis. We are currently preparing specimens for DNA sequencing.
