The Greater Yellowstone Network (GRYN) provides inventory and long term monitoring information for a carefully selected subset of natural resources involving Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks, and the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial parkway. GRYN is one of 32 National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring networks that operate across the nation to standardize and extend the scientific basis for managing public resources in national parks. The science information available from this site is intended to help understand and manage complex ecosystems in GRYN parks and the greater Yellowstone area. An inventory program was established by the National Park Service with the goals of acquiring baseline information for a variety of resources, from bibliographic information to species occurrence and distribution. The GRYN’s monitoring program measures key indicators of ecological integrity, or “vital signs,” to inform park managers about the health of park resources and provide early detection of potential problems. GRYN is also part of the National Park Service High Elevation Climate Change Response Monitoring Program, created in 2010 to measure changes in resources as a result of climate change.
