Natural History Wanderings

NPR reports

The land not far from the resort town of Jackson Hole, Wyo., is still untamed. Grand Teton National Park borders the land on three sides. Birds and butterflies cruise over the sloping hills of sagebrush and aspen groves by the mountains. In March, after an outcry over a proposal to auction it off, state legislators detailed a plan to sell the state-owned, 640-acre parcel to Grand Teton National Park for $100 million. Now the land has become a bargaining chip for leaders who are asking for a few other things, too.
