Caroline Lupfer Kurtz N estled into the base of the majestic Rocky Mountain Front, the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch seems an unchanging, elemental place, where the rhythms of ranch life follow the endless cycles of weather, and people and cattle share the land with a diversity of wildlife. To be there is to imagine the old north trail of the Blackfeet Indians, imagine the journeys of Lewis and Clark. You can see history in the place, envision the buffalo that once were here and encounter every other species. But while the landscape seems eternal, the work of the ranch is immersed in present day issues of conservation research, education and practice. Although UM is the prime beneficiary of the Roosevelt Ranch and associated endowment, the facilities also are available for researchers from state and federal agencies and other universities.
