About Us

The University of Wyoming Research Institute at the AMK Ranch is a cooperative effort between the University of Wyoming and the National Park Service. We are one of only a handful of field stations in US National Parks and by far the oldest partnership of this kind: in 2023, we celebrated 70 years of cooperation with Grand Teton National Park.

The Mission

To achieve our vision, UW students and faculty partner with the National Park Service and others to increase opportunities for research, scholarship, creative and cultural activities, and courses connected to Wyoming’s iconic landscapes and ecosystems, its Native American culture and heritage, and its traditions from ranching to recreation.
