Yellowstone National Park

Research and Education

Research is necessary not only to the preparation of interesting material to serve as a basis of the naturalist and historical service, but it also is fundamental to the actual protection of the natural features of the parks, as enjoined in the acts establishing the parks and in the act of August 25, 1916, creating the National Park Service.

(Horace M. Albright, The Scientific Monthly, June 1933)
