Saguaro National Park:

"Saguaro National Park Celebrates 75 years"
By Doug Kreutz
Most of the people reading these words weren’t alive when Saguaro National Park was set aside as a federal preserve 75 years ago.
Ah, but here’s a telling fact: Many of the saguaro cacti now growing in the park were alive 75 years ago — and at least a few of them were already a century old at the time.

By MATTHEW BROWN
BILLINGS — One hundred bison were captured for slaughter Thursday as they left Yellowstone National Park, bringing the total captured this winter to 617 under a program to keep the wild animals away from cattle.

"Where Conservation, Congregations Collide."
Yosemite plan struggling to balance crowds' environmental impact against visitor access
By Alex Breitler
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK - A 75-year-old grandmother hobbled up the granite staircase to the base of Vernal Falls. A fine spray moistened her face.
