Description:

Rev. John R. Browne is concerned about the elk population in Yellowstone National Park. He recently visited the Jackson Hole area in Wyoming where the majority of the Yellowstone elk winter. Sheep have eaten most of the forage and the elk are often hunted out of season. Browne has been working to protect the elk with a plan to expand the park and have an annual appropriation for hay to feed the elk. He believes that only the federal government can effectively conserve the elk population.
