In 1956, as part of a larger archaeological salvage project for The Dalles Reservoir sponsored by the National Park Service and under the general direction of Douglas Osborne of the University of Washington, a complete record by prints was made of some 400 petroglyphs along a 15 mile stretch of the Columbia River. The original idea for the method and its application to petroglyph recording belongs to Sari Dienes, who has used it in her own art. With the assistance of the writer, Mrs. Dienes did the actual printing of the designs. The project was successfully completed with the aid of a supplementary grant from the Seattle Art Museum.

This essay looks at the history of Santa Cruz Island and preservation and conservation efforts there through the work of the National Park Service, the Nature Conservancy, and the University of California Natural Reserve System. Alagona argues that these efforts are sometimes counterproductive because they rely on incomplete or outmoded understanding of the island’s human and ecological history. A better understanding of how history, culture, and nature shaped each other would lead to more complete conversation and better land management decisions.

This report partially summarizes ongoing research between 1 November 1977 and 31 October 1978 that was funded by the University of Wyoming National Park Service Research Center and Grand Teton Natural History Association. The assistance and cooperation of several people is greatly appreciated: T. Hauptman, J. Weaver, T. Campbell, J. Hoak, P. Rathbun, W. Barnore, and D. Casey.

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).

Operating under grants from the University of Wyoming-National Park Service Research Station and the Wyoming Historical Society, personnel from the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist and volunteers spent eight days performing a cultural resource survey of parts of the Jedediah Smith wilderness in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. Our survey took place on the west side of the Teton Range in the Badger Creek and Bitch Creek drainages. We surveyed more than 350 acres and recorded four sites in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest: an historic mine and cabin, two new prehistoric sites, and a soapstone source. While all the historic sites would benefit from evaluation by an historian, none of the sites is in need of further work.

During the summer 2011 field season, the University of Wyoming American Studies Program conducted a field school at the AMK Ranch to develop a Preservation Treatment Guide for the property’s historic buildings. Students and faculty documented and assessed the condition of each building on the property, researched and analyzed a range of historic preservation treatments, tested log cleaning techniques, and compiled the results of their field work, research and analysis into a 150-page document designed to guide National Park Service and University of Wyoming property managers in making decisions regarding historic buildings.

The cooling during the Pliocene that preceded major continental glaciation in North America is recorded by thick fluvial and lacustrine sequences at Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument (HAFO) in southcentral Idaho (McDonald et al., 1996). Fossiliferous beds at HAFO occur within the nearly 200 m of exposed Glenns Ferry Formation west of the Snake River. This formation extends from southwestern Idaho into easternmost Oregon (Malde and Powers, 1962). The Glenns Ferry Formation within HAFO contains hundreds of localities that are within the Blancan North American Land Mammal Age. Collection of specimens from these localities since the late 1920s has resulted in large repositories of fossils currently housed, in part, at the United States National Museum, the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology (UMMP), and the Idaho Museum of Natural History (IMNH); additionally, smaller collections were accumulated by other museums (McDonald et al., 1996). Today the paleontological resources of HAFO are stewarded by the National Park Service. In spite of the extensive previous collections, significant new discoveries are still being made at HAFO.
