The short explanation of this alert was:
The Bush Administration is proposing to allow 720 snowmachines per day into Yellowstone National Park, more than double the number that roared into the park last winter. The proposal ignores new reports from the Park Service that even last winter’s much lower entrance numbers exceeded standards to protect visitors’ enjoyment of winter quiet and natural sounds. The administration’s solution? Change the standards!
In July, we asked you to weigh in with the National Park Service as it decided which issues to examine in a new environmental assessment on Yellowstone winter use. Now the assessment is out in draft form. We need your help again. The new scheme does nothing to ease snowmobile damage in the park. The agency concedes as much. Please join us and more than 300 retired, non-political career employees of the National Park Service to demand that the Bush Administration do better in Yellowstone. The deadline for comments is Monday, Sept. 20, 2004.
