Say No to Noisy Snowmobiles in our Quiet National Parks!

The Bush administration wants to triple the number of noisy,polluting snowmobiles roaring through America's oldest nationalpark.But we have a narrow window of opportunity right now to speakout against this dangerous proposal, which ignores warnings fromPark Service experts
and puts Yellowstone's wildlife, visitorsand staff at risk.Please go to

Four consecutive National Park Service studies have shown thatonly a complete ban on snowmobiles in Yellowstone can adequatelyprotect the park's natural values and safeguard the health ofvisitors and staff.Yet the Bush administration recently proposed increasing theaverage number of snowmobiles in Yellowstone from 250 to 720 perday.Seven former National Park Service directors have signed aletter urging Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne to reject thisscheme.

The administration should instead ban snowmobiles whileexpanding the use of environmentally friendly "snowcoaches,"which are quieter, less polluting and offer breathtakingpanoramic views of the park.Please go to
