Over the past decade, the National Park Service has engaged in an extraordinary series of studies directed at the development of a sustainable winter use plan for Yellowstone National Park. After 10 years and $10 million of analysis, the agency has only affirmed (and repeatedly reaffirmed) what has long been emphasized by the vast majority of those commenting on the National Park Service's various winter use proposals: Yellowstone's air, quiet, and wildlife would be best protected by a plan eliminating the noise and pollution of snowmobiles in favor of access by best-available-technology snowcoaches.

And, now the National Park Service is seeking public comments on yet another proposed rule for winter use.

This administration should undertake a prompt and complete transition to snowcoach access within Yellowstone National Park. Please take a few minutes right now to urge the National Park Service to heed its own science and protect Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Deadline for commenting is September 8, 2009.
