Abstract

Prescribed fire for aspen and wildlife near Jackson, Wyoming, USA

Steve Kilpatrick

Those of us interested in aspen often wonder about the progress and status of aspen projects being conducted in other locales. It is noteworthy that the folks I call the “aspen gurus” - Dale Bartos, Wayne Shepperd, and Bob Campbell - initiated aspen enhancement projects using prescribed fire in the Jackson, Wyoming area back in the early 1970s. These folks “broke the ice,” so to speak, and while there have been some setbacks over the years managers continue to implement prescribed fire with associated aspen objectives. I would like to provide a short update on what has transpired in our area since the ground work provided by these aspen-prescribed fire pioneers in the U.S.
