Ecological Inventory of the Kelly Warmspring Grand Teton National Park

Abstract

Kelly Warmspring is the last uncommercialized warmsprings in Jackson Hole. Since one of the primary purposes of the park is to protect and preserve the natural environment, it was of interest to the National Park Service to have the area investigated so that management recommendations might be made. As members of the Student Conservation Program the authors of this paper investigated the area, studying physical and chemical properties of the water, the flora and fauna, both terrestrial and aquatic species, and human activities. The study was conducted July 2- August 28, 1968.
