As a passionate supporter of this incredible park, you know firsthand the impact Yellowstone has on all who experience it. I am reaching out today to share how Yellowstone Forever is supporting the park during the federal government shutdown.

Yellowstone National Park remains open and accessible to the public. With financial support from Yellowstone Forever, the Mammoth Hot Springs, Canyon, and Old Faithful Visitor Centers have been able to remain open. This successful partnership ensures visitor assistance remains available, Yellowstone Forever Park Stores in these locations are open, and restroom facilities are accessible.

As the official nonprofit partner of Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone Forever supports the park by directly funding programs that protect, preserve, and enhance the visitor experience.

How you can help support Yellowstone at this time:

• Make a Donation: Yellowstone Forever will continue to support the park while federal resources are paused, and we rely on your help to make this possible.
• Take an Institute Class: Browse our current catalog and register for programs here.
• Shop our Park Store: Visit Yellowstone.org—proceeds directly support the park.
• Visit Responsibly: Be a good steward by following the seven Leave No Trace Principles and remember to pack out what you bring in, stay on marked trails and boardwalks, and respect wildlife and cultural sites.

As we receive additional guidance, we will continue to update you on our website and through our email newsletters.

With gratitude,

Lisa Diekmann
