Yellowstone National Park Superintendent: Cam Sholly

“Preservation of public land, an act known round the world” -- Yellowstone hails as America’s first National Park, coining what is widely known as America’s Best Idea, the National Park Service. In this episode, we are chatting with the big kahuna, Cam Sholly, Superintendent of Yellowstone National Park. From heroically navigating a historic flood in 2022 (an 100% increase in cubic ft/s in the river since the last recorded flood), to both recognizing progress from a conservation perspective (as compared to the 1950-60s with folks lining up to feed bears out of garbage cans & the extirpation of the whole wolf population) and continuing to push for better protection and management of Yellowstone, to setting the standard for employee housing across the park service, Cam’s insight, leadership and experience captivates any listener.
