More than 1,000 workers already have been part of the 17 Recovery Act projects at Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. Overall, there are 800 Recovery Act projects underway at national parks across the country this summer — eight times as many as there were last summer.

At 11:45 a.m. MT, Biden will deliver remarks to workers outside the Madison Junior Ranger Station, joined by National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis. |
