Yellowstone chief ousted over bison policy amid internal dispute
Yellowstone National Park superintendent Dan Wenk says he was pushed out in a punitive action after clashes with the Trump administration over bison numbers. He planned to retire March 30, 2019, and will leave by August as a new leader takes over. The fight centers on whether the park’s bison population beyond 4,000 is sustainable and how to balance ranching interests, disease risk, and livestock grazing in Montana.
