In an act of altruism and goodwill, one person has given Yellowstone National Park a massive sum of cash — but not for preserving nature or wildlife directly.
"This gift will be transformational in helping us continue improving employee housing across Yellowstone," Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly said in a statement. "Our thanks to the donors for their generosity and commitment to meet the needs of park employees and to the Park Foundation for its leadership and continued partnership."More than 5,000 people work in Yellowstone during the peak tourist season, and finding affordable housing that's nearby can be difficult.
Work on the new units at Yellowstone is slated to begin later this year, but housing is not the only issue parks are facing. It's their infrastructure overall.
