New York Times very positive on the new Director of the National Park Service-
When President Obama nominated Jon Jarvis to head the Park Service, I was not familiar with him.
However, the New York Times thinks Jarvis is the “best news [they] have heard in the past nine years about the national parks”
New York Times editorial. A New Voice for the National Parks.
More! 7/15/09. Parks nominee called “tops.” Jarvis, who worked through ranks, is said to value resources, understand visitor needs. Jackson Hole News and Guide. By Cory Hatch.

He should also get involved in the bison slaughter issue in Yellowstone National Park. Suzanne Lewis needs to go.

I agree with you. Suzanne Lewis treats Yellowstone like an overmanaged game farm/ranch. I wonder if she “cowboy ups” and wears her cowgirl outfit and big belt buckle after hours and on weekends.
