The Jackson Hole Airport Wildlife Hazard Management and Habitat Restoration Environmental Assessment, Public Scoping

Dear Friends,

The National Park Service is preparing the Jackson Hole Airport Wildlife Hazard Management and Habitat Restoration Environmental Assessment to address wildlife hazard mitigation and greater sage-grouse habitat restoration in and around the Jackson Hole Airport in Grand Teton National Park.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the purpose of the environmental assessment is to analyze the impact of potential park actions to minimize wildlife hazards, particularly aircraft collisions with greater sage-grouse, while protecting park resources and values. An important component of the proposed mitigation is improving greater sage-grouse habitat surrounding the airport to encourage movement of the birds off-site.

This newsletter provides you with information about the planning effort and ways you can participate. Successful implementation of these efforts is critical to reduce the risk of wildlife/aircraft incidences which can threaten air passenger safety and to protect local wildlife. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

David Vela

Superintendent
Grand Teton National Park
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway
