More Cell Phone Towers in Yellowstone?
 The National Park Service is considering adding more infrastructure to Yellowstone National Park to increase cell phone coverage, add WiFi to developed areas, and provide internet and other communication services. These days, there aren’t many places left where you can get away from the ring of a cell phone. Do you want Yellowstone to be one of them? If yes, learn more about the proposal and send your comments to the Park Service today.

Moose-Gypsum Agreement- Roadless Lands Spared, for now
On July 14th, the Greater Yellowstone Coalition signed an agreement with the USFS helping to protect Inventoried Roadless Areas along the Green River in western Wyoming. With the help of EarthJustice, GYC had appealed several proposed logging and road reconstruction and motorized trail construction projects in the IRA’s known collectively as the Moose-Gypsum Project.
The Little Sheep Mountain, Mosquito Seven Lakes, and West Slope Winds roadless areas contain habitat for native cutthroat trout and important winter range for elk and moose along the upper Green River. These areas are also highly prized for their recreational and scenic values, and serve as migration routes for many species of wildlife. Additional motorized use and logging would threaten this area that lies directly between the Bridger and the Gros Ventre Wilderness Areas.
In order for GYC to withdraw the appeal, the USFS agreed not to implement most of the logging or motorized road or trails until the fate of the 2001 Roadless Rule was decided in federal court. If the court decides that the IRA’s continue to merit legal protection from such activities, the Forest Service would conduct additional analyses and allow public input prior to any final decision.
