Preserving Yellowstone’s Winter Wilderness

Although a few recreational snowmobilers destroy fragile

ecosystems and harass animals as they ride through the wilderness, most love and respect this country’s natural heritage. That’s

why they brave the cold to explore what is left of wild America—

including Yellowstone National Park. Unfortunately, however, even

respectful snowmobilers are unwittingly damaging what they love.

Because snowmobiles create both air and noise pollution and

because their use in the park strains the already lean budget of

the park service, recreational snowmobiles should be banned from

Yellowstone National Park.

In 2002, the Bush administration, under pressure from the

snowmobile industry, proposed to reverse the National Park Service’s 2000 plan that would have phased out recreational snowmobile use in Yellowstone. In addition to reversing the earlier

plan, the new policy would increase the number of snowmobiles

allowed into the park per day. This policy is a step in the wrong

direction.

It may be hard to imagine that 1,100 snowmobiles a day

(the proposed limit) could cause an air pollution problem in a park

half the size of Connecticut, but in fact they can. The air pollution

at park entrances has already become so bad in winter, according

to environmental reporter Julie Cart
