The New York Times Monday captured our collective win of protecting Yellowstone National Park from the last viable gold mining threat along the park’s northern border.

On September 25, 2023, the Greater Yellowstone Coalition raised the $6.25 million needed to stop the mine on Crevice Mountain, just north of Yellowstone National Park. People from across the country and globe gave to stop this mine, proving once and for all that Yellowstone is more valuable than gold.

GYC’s work in southwest Montana exemplifies the wide range of strategies we deploy to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. From buying gold mines, to working with ranchers to protect grizzly bears, and supporting programs to restore bison, we work with all people to find common ground and develop innovative solutions to protect this ecosystem we all love.

The Greater Yellowstone Coalition announces an ambitious campaign to buy out a mining company on the northern border of Yellowstone National Park. If successful, the effort would extinguish the last real and significant mining threat on the border of Yellowstone National Park, forever.
