Former Yellowstone resource chief seeks ‘audacious acts’
From Jackson Hole News & Guide:
Tom Olliff was leaving the Thorofare, the most remote region in the lower 48 states, and walking toward Yellowstone National Park’s southern entrance when he noticed something unsettling.
A dry, brown grass had spread across the landscape.
“I was shocked to see fields and fields of cheatgrass,” Olliff said. “I know cheatgrass is invading in a lot of places, and I know to expect cheatgrass in the Northern Range. I certainly did not expect to see it there.”
