Yellowstone seeks public comment on bison quarantine

Outlaw PartnersThe National Park Service is seeking public comment on an Environmental Assessment for the use of quarantine to identify brucellosis-free Yellowstone bison for relocation.
The purpose of a quarantine program would be to establish or augment new conservation and cultural herds of plains bison; conserve a viable, wild population of the Yellowstone population; maintain a low risk of brucellosis transmission from bison to cattle; reduce the need for shipment of bison to meat processing facilities to limit population growth; and provide cultural and nutritional opportunities for Native Americans.
The EA analyzes three alternatives to evaluate a quarantine program for Yellowstone bison at one or more new quarantine facilities, which could be located within Yellowstone National Park, on tribal lands, or elsewhere.
– Alternative one is no action. Bison operations would continue as they currently are with no quarantine of bison.
– Alternative two includes conducting a quarantine program within Yellowstone National Park.
– Alternative three includes conducting a quarantine program on the Fort Peck Reservation and is the Park Service’s preferred alternative.
Once comments are analyzed, a decision on whether to implement the plan will be made by the regional director of the intermountain region of the Park Service. If approved in time, the Park Service may implement a quarantine program during the 2016 bison management operations period.
The Park Service is inviting public comment and engagement on the EA pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The EA can be found online at parkplanning.nps.gov/bisonquarantine. To request a hard copy of the EA, call (307) 344-2015.
Respondents are encouraged to submit their comments online, hand deliver them to the park administration building in Mammoth, or mail them to: Superintendent, Yellowstone National Park, WY, 82190. Comments will not be accepted in any manner other than those specified above, and bulk comments submitted on behalf of others will not be accepted. The deadline to submit comments is midnight MDT on Feb. 15.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
