Y2Y Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) includes the very first National Park also Grand Teton National Park, the Gros Ventre Wilderness and the Wind River Range.
Value to Yellowstone to Yukon Vision
Yellowstone National Park is a birthplace of a conservation. Today, it and the lands that make up the GYE contain an important region that still to this day provides necessary habitat for a host of wildlife populations. One of Y2Y's goals is to be able to reconnect the Yellowstone grizzly bears to the other bears in the U.S. and the ones in Canada too. Also in 1995 a pack of grey wolves were put back into Yellowstone National Park. The reintroduction greatly improved the natural balance of the ecosystem and the wildlife that live there. Trees: seven conifers (lodgepole pine, whitebark pine, Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, Douglas-fir, Rocky Mountain juniper, limber pine) and some deciduous species, including quaking aspen and cottonwood.
