Bumper Log Installation

Writer's picture: Yellowstone YCCYellowstone YCC

Bumper logs protect paths and vegetation within Yellowstone National Park by delineating sections for pedestrians and / or automobiles. The importance of bumper logs therefore motivated the staff crew to construct and install bumper logs near hiking trails. But, prior to this, the staff had to practice some important skills:


Correct Tool Use and Safety Measures: Don't forget your hard hat!
Tool Transportation over Unpaved Terrain

A Clean and Bear-Safe Camp: how to do dishes without running water

With these fundamentals under their belt, the staff crew constructed and installed bumper logs. See them in action here:

ABOUT US >

Yellowstone is offering its Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) program for the 33rd consecutive summer! YCC is a month-long residential program for young people between the ages of 15 and 18 years of age. They must be a US citizen or permanent resident of the United States, its territories, or its possessions. They also must provide a valid US Social Security number.

The YCC experience allows 6 teen enrollees and multiple staff members the opportunity to learn, work, and recreate in Yellowstone National Park. The program is challenging, educational, and fun, and offers participants opportunities to expand their horizons while building skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. No previous wilderness experience is required, but a willingness and ability to work in a physically active outdoor program, get along well with others, and maintain a positive attitude are essential for success.
