Site Index
Taylor Wilderness Research Station AERONET site with assistant site manager Wren, October, 2020.
TWRS, located on the banks of Big Creek and surrounded by the Salmon River Mountains in central Idaho, represents the largest wilderness area in the lower 48 states. As such, the biological and geophysical processes operating in this large complex natural ecosystem provides a unique laboratory to monitor fundamental parameters, assess gradients and model the evolving stresses imposed by climate change.

Site Description:
  • Taylor Wilderness Research Station (TWRS) is embedded within the heart of the Frank Church--River of No Return Wilderness. TWRS is operated by the University of Idaho College of Natural Resources and provides a one-of-a-kind venue for scientific discovery to explore social, political, and economic implications on ecological processes in a wilderness context. Surrounded by 2.39 million acres of wilderness in central Idaho, the station provides outstanding access, facilities, and logistical support for research on natural environments.
