What happened
The National Park Service contracted a new vendor to manage visitor centers at Grand Teton National Park. The Jefferson National Parks Association, headquartered in Missouri, was selected for the role. This new arrangement concludes a 75-year collaboration with the Theodore Roosevelt Nature and History Association. Separately, the NPS is reviewing park recreation rules for Grand Teton National Park, and states are involved in efforts to remove grizzlies from the endangered species list.
