With a total of 24,700 acres (10,000 ha), the refuge borders the town of Jackson, Wyoming on the southwest, Bridger-Teton. A wildlife refuge located north of Jackson, WY that provides winter habitat for Jacksons elk herd. It was created in 1912 to protect habitat and provide sanctuary for one of the largest elk (also known as wapiti) herds. Sustaining aspen in western landscapes: Symposium proceedings 13-15 June 2000 Grand Junction, CO. The National Elk Refuge is a Wildlife Refuge located in Jackson Hole in the U.S. Persistence of aspen regeneration near the National Elk Refuge and Gros Ventre Valley Elk Feedgrounds of Wyoming. Sustaining aspen in western landscapes: Symposium proceedings 13-15 June 2000 Grand Junction, COīarnett, David T.Our results suggest that some regeneration persists across the landscape at a variety of elk densities. There were no significant differences of regeneration across elk winter range classification (p = 0.25) or distance from feedgrounds (p = 0.96). Forty-four percent of the stands sampled supported regeneration of saplings (stems greater than 2 m in height but less than 10 cm in diameter). We conducted a landscape-scale survey to assess aspen regeneration across gradients of wintering elk concentrations using 68 randomly selected aspen stands in the 1,090 km2 study area. We investigated aspen (Populus tremuloides) regeneration in the Gros Ventre River Valley, the National Elk Refuge, and a small part of Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, to see if elk (Cervus elaphus) browsing was as damaging as previously thought.
