This cascade began by the wolves causing elk (Cervus elaphus) removal and relocation and led to trees quintupling in size. Seeing the positive effects wolves had on trees, more national parks and states began facilitating this natural ecology management. By…

I think this field trip would be educational because we would be there and we would remember instead of pictures off the internet. The tour around the park will be historical because…
