Initial Survey

The 1992 field season began in early May with a meeting between the principal investigator and NPS Unit Technical Representatives. The primary objectives of the second field season was to 1) continue with the initial survey so that the number and distribution of exotic plant species within the Park could be estimated, 2) take low-level aerial photographs (slides) of the South Unit so that general areas of leafy spurge infestations could be mapped, 3) continue to evaluate the existing ecological effects of exotics on the native constituents, and 4) estimate density and composition of exotics within the soil seed bank.

The primary objective of the first year of the project was to determine the number and distribution of exotic plant species within the park. A preliminary list of exotics was provided by park personal. A more complete list of exotics found in the park was then generated using Heidel's (1990) list of "Preliminary Vascular Flora of Theodore Roosevelt National Park". The origin of all of the plant species listed in that report were determined from Stevens (1963) and Flora of the Great Plains (Great Plains Association 1986).

This case study analyzes the potential impacts of weakening the National Park Service’s (NPS) “9B Regulations” enacted in 1978, which established a federal regulatory framework governing hydrocarbon rights and extraction to protect natural resources within the parks. We focus on potential risks to national parklands resulting from Executive Orders 13771—Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs [1]—and 13783—Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth [2]—and subsequent recent revisions and further deregulation. To establish context, we briefly overview the history of the United States NPS and other relevant federal agencies’ roles and responsibilities in protecting federal lands that have been set aside due to their value as areas of natural beauty or historical or cultural significance [3]. We present a case study of Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP) situated within the Bakken Shale Formation—a lucrative region of oil and gas deposits—to examine potential impacts if areas of TRNP, particularly areas designated as “wilderness,” are opened to resource extraction, or if the development in other areas of the Bakken near or adjacent to the park’s boundaries expands [4]. We have chosen TRNP because of its biodiversity and rich environmental resources and location in the hydrocarbon-rich Bakken Shale. We discuss where federal agencies’ responsibility for the protection of these lands for future generations and their responsibility for oversight of mineral and petroleum resources development by private contractors have the potential for conflict.

This project was designed to determine the optimum population size for bison in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP) by fulfilling the following objectives: 1. Delineate primary and secondary areas of bison use. 2. Determine net primary productivity for major range sites within primary and secondary use areas. 3. Determine the general seasonal food habits of bison in TRNP. 4. Determine range trends under present population density of bison and the maximum carrying capacity of primary use areas. 5. Integrate range trend and carrying capacity estimates with management priorities for bison on the TRNP.

This project was designed to determine the optimum population size for bison in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP) by fulfilling the following objectives: 1. Delineate primary and secondary bison ranges; 2. Determine forage productivity for major range sites within primary and secondary use areas; 3. Determine the general seasonal food habits of bison in TRNP; 4. Determine range condition under present population density of bison and the maximum carrying capacity of primary use areas; and 5. Integrate range condition and carrying capacity estimates with management priorities for bison on the TRNP.

Appreciative Inquiry was employed to understand the mutual impact of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and nearby communities’ relationships with tourism. Specifically, the goals of this study were to: understand the role of Theodore Roosevelt National Park related to stimulating regional tourism; to ascertain gateway community resident perceptions of benefits from tourism as it relates to economic development and quality of; and, to explore nearby communities’ relationships with the park and how those communities may help influence quality visitor experiences, advance park goals, and develop and leverage partnerships. Results include a collection of emergent themes from the community inquiry related to resource access and tourism management, citizen and community engagement, conservation, marketing, and communication between the park and neighboring residents. These findings illuminate the need to understand nearby communities’ relationship to public lands and regional sustainability support between public land managers and these communities.
