Yellowstone Park Foundation donates $600,000 for wide range of projects

A host of diverse projects in Yellowstone National Park — including bat research, visitor safety initiatives and a scientific symposium on Old Faithful Geyser — will receive financial support this year from the Yellowstone Park Foundation, the park’s official fundraising partner.

The Foundation has announced $600,000 in new grants aimed at helping park managers, researchers and others achieve important goals that are not necessarily covered by the park’s $69.5 million annual budget.
