Identification of Interflow Pathways and Potential Wetland Sites in the Kelly Hayfields

Abstract

The primary goals of this collaborative effort are: 1) to inventory the Kelly Hayfields for the location of stream channels and wetland areas that existed prior to homesteading and 2) evaluate the utility of wetland criteria developed on the Elk Ranch Hayfields for identification of historic wetland areas in the Antelope Flats area. Successful identification of pre-existing stream and wetland locations will enhance National Park Service restoration efforts of the Kelly Hayfields and other abandoned agricultural lands within Grand Teton National Park.
