"The purpose of study at Badlands National Monument were: (1) Concluding whether there are grassland areas within the Monument that are unique and sufficiently significant from a national interest viewpoint to warrant continued preservation in a national monument as well as to protect the foreground and background of the badlands wall and adjacent eroded slopes, and (2) Assessing the grasslands in the National Monument from the standpoint of their importance to the economy of the over-all local livestock industry. The plan for study at Theodore Roosevelt Park and at Wind Cave Park was to make reconnaissance observations of grasslands in these areas and then compare the vegetation with the grassland types in the Badlands Monument to determine the general extent to which significant grass species in either or both of the parks duplicate those found in the national monument and, conversly, the extent to which significant grass species in Badlands National Monument are not found in Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park or Wind Cave National Park."
