Three men who have served as superintendent of Yellowstone National Park say the park will always need advocates. Former Yellowstone superintendents Bob Barbee and Mike Finley joined current Superintendent Dan Wenk for a fireside chat on Saturday with several hundred members of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition. The three said that although the park is healthy in many respects, there are looming threats to its integrity. Among the problems is decimation of the native cutthroat trout population by exotic lake trout. The three spoke at a convention in West Yellowstone, Mont., on Saturday celebrating the 30th anniversary of the conservation organization. They said park managers alone may not be able to defend Yellowstone adequately and said support from outsiders is critical.
