The Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) Program provides framework, funding, and publishing support to parks to aid in the synthesis and documentation of natural resource conditions. Condition assessment reports are a tool to describe selected park resources, record a snapshot of their current condition, identify trends in condition, and determine potential or current threats and stressors. Understanding the condition and trend of natural resources is key for parks and NPS planners to appropriately prioritize and allocate stewardship resources.

Stunning views of the Teton Range, lush valley floors, pristine lakes, and over two hundred miles of trails can be found in northwest Wyoming at Grand Teton National Park. At 310,000 acres, the park welcomes more than 3.8 million nature lovers and adventurers each year. While the Teton Range dominates the landscape, it is the interplay of mountains, glaciers, forest, rivers, and wetlands that make the park home for an amazing collection of plants and animals including grizzly bear, bison, and moose.
