Yellowstone National Park

Park Foundation Announces Yellowstone 2011 Grants

The largest grant, $100,000, is dedicated to improving safety for wildlife watchers — the folks who pull off the side of the road to check out bears, bison, antelope and other wildlife.

A grant of $85,000 will be dedicated toward a five-year study of the Park’s raptors: owls, eagles and the like.

A grant of $15,000 will be dedicated toward a study of the effects of white-nose syndrome on Yellowstone bat populations.
