...Yellowstone has been around for over a century being the home of what is now a national park, and is also home to a large variety of animals that all help to contribute to what goes on within the park. This involves animals such as Beavers, Coyotes, Grizzly Bears and Cougars including much more. All of these animals and plants have all been in the midst of a biological cascade that all has occurred thanks to the wolves of Yellowstone. During the early years of the park wolves roamed the lands, and when there food sources were being taken away they had to eat and what they chose to eat unintentionally got them to be hunted and killed. A large portion of the wolf population diminished and most of the wolves scattered to safer locations to live....

...On average, Yellowstone Nation park sees a little less than one million people a year, with people visiting in the spring, summer, fall and winter. Billions of photographs are taken here, including traditional landscape photos, wedding photos, and even selfies. Within regulation, drone photography is even possible, allowing people to see the park from a whole new perspective. This mass accumulation of photos creates a new perspective of the national park, and preservers the memory for the rest of existence. However, the mass growth of this nature “repository” leaves many memories forgotten, and images often get buried under piles and piles of cute dog photos and implicit memes. While memes were not an issue back in the 1940’s, the rapid expansion...

...Each year, roughly three million people visit Yellowstone National Park to look at the magnificent beauty that is being presented to them. These tourists come to experience the vast range of wildlife and natural wonders. The National Park’s features were formed some 600,000 years ago. Yellowstone owns one of the most visited attractions in the United States, Old Faithful. Although the park may be fun to experience, it is also very dangerous due to the fact that the entire park is on a supervolcano. Yellowstone National Park was established March 1, 1872, when Ulysses S. Grant signed The Act of Dedication--years before Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming were even granted statehood. Most of Yellowstone’s landscape and geological features were formed by volcanic eruptions roughly 600,000 years ago. A large mass of molten rock from those eruptions still lies under the park’s surface, giving heat to the roughly 300 active geysers and thousands of hot springs. Yellowstone has something for everyone, whether it is to: see Old Faithful, witness the grazing animals, or experience a supervolcano up close. The park's most popular and most visited geyser, Old Faithful, is also one of the best known and most visited attractions in America. According to World Book Students’ Yellowstone...

...and activist Enos Mills claimed, “The establishment of Yellowstone National Park was a great incident in the scenic history of America—and in that of the world. For the first time, a scenic wonderland was dedicated ‘a public park…for the benefit and enjoyment of all the people.” Mills wasn’t the only person of his time who shared these beliefs, in fact he wasn’t the first. Many had to come before him to discover Yellowstone, as well as shape the park and establish something that people wanted to see. Yellowstone was the first of its kind and it created parks as we know them today. Today, Yellowstone National Park is one of our country's most celebrated landmarks. The discovery and establishment of Yellowstone...

...Due to the growing numbers’ of visitors to Yosemite National Park there are numerous negative effects that the human population has brought upon the natural beauty of the park. The annual visits to Yosemite National Park averages to 3.5 million visitors a year and the numbers continue to grow due to constant developments. To accommodate the growing numbers’ of visitors entering the park and those staying overnight; buildings, campsites, facilities, parking lots, and roads were created. By doing these various tasks the habitat of the park is being destroyed. There is an area of river banks close to camp sites and they have been battered by visitors, destroying natural habitats as well. All species and vegetation inside the park is in constant harm’s way due to the increase of traffic. The smog made by the vehicles cause air pollution which is so thick it is reported that the park is not always visible in the air. There is also noise pollution brought on by the vehicles attempting to locate parking and campsite rivals which sadly over takes the park’s natural noise. It is probable that increased noise could disturb wildlife behavior, mainly in mating and finding prey. The park is also the home of black bears. Human population also threatens these bears by having an abundance of food available in their vehicles, campgrounds, picnic areas, and out in the wilderness. Once a bear is able obtain food from humans it will continue to seek it out and frighten humans in order to get...

...Inquiry Plan For my research on place and public memory, I would like to explore how the rhetoric of conserved natural spaces influences public memory and opinion of the outdoors. Specifically, I want to research the national parks system or a specific national park, whichever would be better at answering my central question and has enough information and resources readily available. I am interested in considering the design, marketing, and cultural significance of these preserved wild areas and how all of these could contribute to personal and public opinions. If possible due to available resources, I will narrow my focus to Yellowstone National Park, one of the largest and most famous parks in the world. Yellowstone is a unique super-volcano...

...The first national park in the United States was Yellowstone National Park, which was created in 1872. At this time, the concept of a national park was new for people; however, it was a great thing because it allowed the people the ability to preserve and protect the best of what they had for the benefit and enjoyment of all future generations. Yellowstone National Park is located in a rugged region where the states of Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana come together. This rugged region is made up of alpine and sub-alpine forests, as well as, mountains of high elevation. Recognized for its ecological value, Yellowstone national park was designated as a Biosphere Reserve in 1976; a biosphere reserve is an environmental area which is highly sensitive that has protected status, which is managed primarily to preserve natural ecological conditions. This paper on Yellowstone national park will be discussing the impacts associated with agriculture, the effects that a growing human population can have on the resources of an ecosystem, a management practice to help with sustainability, the risks and benefits for extracting renewable and nonrenewable energy resource for the ecosystem, and management practices for sustainability and conservation of natural resources and energy. The Yellowstone National Park is home to many large animals such as bison, elk, grizzle bear, and wolf.

...Unit 3 Case Montana Mountain Biking Jerry Singleton founded Montana Mountain Biking ( MMB) 18 years ago. MMB offers one week guided mountain biking expeditions based in four Montana locations. Most of MMB’s new customers hear about the company and its tours from existing customers. Many of MMB’s customers come back every year for a mountain biking expedition; about 80 percent of the riders on any given expedition are repeat customers. Jerry is happy with this high repeat percentage, but he is worried that MMB is missing a large potential market. He has been reluctant to spend a lot of money on advertising. About 10 years ago, he spent $ 80,000 on a print advertising campaign that included ads in several outdoor interest and sports magazines, but the ads did not generate enough additional customers to cover the cost of the advertising. Five years ago, a marketing consultant advised Jerry that the ads had not been placed well. The magazines did not reach the serious mountain bike enthusiast, which is MMB’s true target market. After all, a casual mountain bike rider would probably not be drawn to a week long expedition. Another concern of Jerry’s is that more than 90 percent of MMB’s customers come from neighboring states. Jerry has always thought that MMB was not reaching the sizable market of serious mountain bike enthusiasts in California. He talked to the marketing consultant about buying an address list and sending out a promotional mailing...
