Final Bison and Elk Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service are pleased to present the final Bison and Elk Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (Plan/EIS) for the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park. The final Plan/EIS outlines the desired future conditions, management goals, objectives and strategies for managing the Jackson bison and elk herds on the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway for 15 years. This document compares six alternatives that address bison and elk numbers, habitat restoration, forage production, supplemental feeding and disease issues. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service worked closely with representatives from the U.S. Forest Service, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in preparing this Plan/EIS.
