Yellowstone’s Superintendent Steps Down | Boise News

Yellowstone’s longtime superintendent Cameron Sholly is stepping down after nearly eight years to lead conservation efforts at the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, marking the end of a 30-year career with the National Park Service. Under his leadership, Yellowstone received over $1.5 billion in investments for wildlife, infrastructure, and employee housing, while also expanding bison transfers to tribal nations. He steered the park through major crises — including the 2022 floods, reopening 93% of the park in just 20 days — and record visitor surges during the pandemic. Secretary Doug Burgum praised him as an exceptional leader who left Yellowstone stronger, while Sholly looks forward to continuing his mission on a national scale. His journey began as a seasonal worker in 1990 and included leading 61 parks across the Midwest and transforming Gateway Arch National Park — earning top federal honors along the way.
