ACTION JACKSON
Wednesday, April 17, 2002

The Central Iowa Sierra Program will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Grace United
Methodist Church, located between 37th and 38th on Cottage Grove in Des
Moines.

Bob Jackson lives south of the Des Moines area on his Iowa "ranch" where he
raises bison.  He is also an outspoken Yellowstone National Park backcountry
ranger.   For his program Wednesday night, he might talk about his
experiences at Yellowstone and his legal battles of the last few years
trying to protect the grizzly bear, or he might tell about his experiences
raising bison.

From a news story earlier this year:

Like blood or sinew, Yellowstone National Park is part of Bob Jackson. A
seasonal park ranger since 1969 and a ranger in the Bridger Teton Wilderness
since 1972, Jackson often feels most at home amidst the birds and animals,
under the changing skies and shifting clouds on the 500-square-mile stretch
of God's country far from any road or civilization.
