Mr. Sholly Goes to Washington: Yellowstone Superintendent Ends Stint After Leading Park Through Floods, Fires, Pandemic
Sholly leaves after eight years marked by shutdowns, floods and record visitation, and an acting superintendent will take over immediately.
- Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Cam Sholly announced Friday he will leave his post later this month to become Chief Operating Officer at the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
- Since 2018, Sholly has overseen more than $1.5 billion in conservation and infrastructure projects while guiding the park through the COVID-19 pandemic, record visitation, and the devastating 2022 floods.
- During the 2022 "500-year flood," Sholly coordinated efforts to reopen 93% of the park within 20 days and launched major employee housing initiatives to address staff shortages.
- The National Park Service will soon announce an interim superintendent while conducting a search for a permanent replacement to lead the 2.2 million-acre park.
- Sholly leaves behind a "focus on the core" management strategy and a team he describes as "second to none," positioning his successor to inherit strong institutional foundations.
