"The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) belongs to
the new global family of far-sighted, broad-based biodiversity strategies that have arisen
in response to the insights, interpretations and lessons of conservation biology. To
protect "Our mission, then, is to build and maintain a life-sustaining system of core protected reserves and connecting wildlife movement corridors, both of which will be further insulated from the impacts of industrial development by transition zones. Existing national, state and provincial parks and wilderness areas will anchor the system, while the creation of new protected areas and the conservation and restoration of critical segments of ecosystems will provide the cores, corridors and transition zones needed to complete it."
Yesteryear in Yellowstone by BRUCE GOURLEY YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (YNET) -- So you think it is a hassle waiting in the line of cars at the west entrance of Yellowstone in August ... When automobiles first begin entering Yellowstone, rangers at the entrances to the Park collected an incredible amount of information: driver's name and hometown, license number, vehicle make, number of seats, number of passengers. Could you imagine waiting in THAT line!

A Weekly Column
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (YNET) -- I get a LOT of emails every day. Many are business which I enjoy but many others are from just plain ol' folks like me that have a question or comment. These I really enjoy! The subject in an email a few weeks ago was, "I LOST MY HAT". This was one email that something just told me was gonna be good. Here it is in its entirety, reprinted with permission. Hello Clint, This may sound a little goofy.... but here goes. My son and I came to the Park 4 summers ago and hiked from the Pelican Valley Trailhead over to and then down the Lamar Valley. One of the funniest and best experiences I will ever encounter. Before we set out on this trip, I got a baseball style ballcap hat at one of the tourist gift type stores at the Park. It was green, had the silhouette of a backpacker, a moose, and a bear on the front, and embellished with the words "Backcountry Patrol" This has been my best hunting and fishing and just plain old favorite hat for years. Last Saturday, I went rafting on the Deshutes River in Central Oregon. When we went over a big drop off called Oak Springs, my hat got removed from my head. Maybe somebody in China's wearing it by now. Anyway, sitting here at my desk today, with Internet capability, I got the wild idea that maybe, just maybe, if I typed in the words Yellowstone+National+Park into a searching device, I might find a hat sort of like the one I've been wearing for all these years. This got me to www.yellowstone.net, which in turn got me to your e-mail address. Do you know if there is any way to contact the chain of stores that sells clothing stuff at the Park ? Light headed in Oregon, Bruce Dyer So, I told him I was sure the fine folks at Hamilton Stores would want to help him and I sent him their number. I got this email from Bruce a few days ago. Clint Well, sometimes you just never know ... Here's what happened. I got in touch with a very helpful person by the name of Patty Austin, who has something to do with Inventory for the Hamilton Stores. The hat that I lost was discontinued in 1995. However, Patty described in detail all of the hats that they currently stock. Although not the same, she had a hat that is kinda sorta like the hat I got many years ago. It looks good and feels better, on my head today. Thanx very much for your help. Bruce Dyer
