| Yellowstone
National Park |
| Established on March 1, 1872, Yellowstone
National Park is the first and oldest national park in the world.
It deserves our best care. For the first time, the Bush administration
has instituted a condition assessment report for park facilities
of repair so that the National Park Service can better manage
the restoration and maintenance programs underway. Yellowstone
alone received $25 million for improvements in FY 2003, and
$32 million has been appropriated for FY 2004.
|
| The Park Service has been working
to improve air quality in Yellowstone. The Bush administration
has instituted a more environmentally friendly snowmobile plan
that is limiting snowmobile use to only designated routes and
is requiring that only the cleanest and quietest models be used
in the Park. Daily limits on the number of snowmobiles will
be imposed, and advance reservations are required. Yellowstone
is also considering the introduction of new cleaner burning
yellow buses, a modernized version of the bus that has been
used to tour the Park since 1931. The new version of the bus
will run on natural gas, propane, ethanol, or biodiesel.
