Yellowstone National Park To End Winter Surveillance For Elk & Bison

Six years of monitoring Yellowstone National Park’s wildlife during winter has shown bison and elk are fairly accustomed to snowmobile and snowcoach use prompting managers to recommend ending the surveillance. The Park is taking comments on its proposal through November 1st.  If approved the workload would be dropped from the staffs’ to-do list beginning this winter. Yellowstone’s winter season begins December 15th with limited services.
