Assessment of Vertebrate Species Distribution and Status within Fort Laramie National Historic Site

Abstract

The objectives of this on-going study are to: ( 1) develop a complete list of vertebrate species for Fort Laramie National Historic Site (FLNHS): (2) establish an information base on vertebrate populations: ( 3) identify threatened, endangered, and overpopulated species and recommend applicable managemant actions: and ( 4) assess the impact on wildlife populations of grazing by horses. Although these were recognized in advance as ambitious goals, each is, to some extent, being met.
