A t le The West Fork Mink Creek Research Natural Area has been established on a portion of the Caribou National Forest located about seven miles south of Pocatello, Idaho, according to a joint annour by Regional F' .,ier Vern Hamre, of the Intermountain Region, and Director Robert Harris, of the Intermountain Forest and Range F.xperiment Station. The classification assures that the area will be protected and that it will be available for research purposes by scientists and educators. e The new Natural Research Area was part of the Pocatello Forest Reserve which was set aside by Presidential Proclamation in 1903 to provide watershed protection for the City of Pocatello. Because the land has been closed to livestock grazing since the early years of this century, it offers a unique opportunity to study various Douglas-fi- r and sagebrush-grassplacommunities in a relatively undisturbed state. There are also opportunities for studies of contrasting relationships and geologic development of the drainage patterns on the north and south exposures. Mule deer and some elk use the area for summer range. Other species of wildlife include grouse, numerous species of songbirds and small rodents, hares and 640-acr- Oris it running you?
