In 1978 Yellowstone National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the heart of one of Earth’s largest remaining intact ecosystems in the northern temperate zone and contains the world’s largest collection of geysers. #e park's global signi!cance and ability to inspire humanity demands that Yellowstone host a Centennial Program that sets the stage for the future.

We’d like to thank our partners for their vision, support and encouragement.

On August 25th, 2016, America’s original gateway to the world’s !rst National Parkwill set the stage for the second century of the National Park Service. "e Gateway Project recently secured over $12 million ensuring infrastructure is in place for the Centennial Program.

"is grassroots e#ort demonstrates how a shared vision can meet the evolving challenges that face national parks. We invite you to celebrate with us under the historic centerpiece of this project — the iconic Roosevelt Arch.

to spend time outside no matter where they live, and we are working to create jobs,

boost rural economies, and increase tourism by enhancing public lands

that draw travelers from across the globe.”
