Biography
Jim Evanoff has been with the National Park Service for the past 24 years.
His career has involved working in four other National Parks before coming to Yellowstone in 1988. Starting in Curecanti National Recreation area, Colorado, Evanoff was instrumental in developing the infrastructure for this newly acquired Park unit. Next he moved to Grand Teton National Park and was responsible for preservation of more than 100 historic structures within the park.

After working there for three years, he transferred to Arches National Park in southern Utah. The next move was to Mt. Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where his responsibilities included the preservation maintenance of the famous four faces. Currently in Yellowstone, Jim is the Environmental Protection Specialist for the Park. His work experiences have varied from assisting in wolf reintroduction to spearheading many of the Park’s “greening initiatives”.

Jim manages all of Yellowstone’s environmental programs and provides guidance to many other national parks for achieving sound environmental stewardship. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin.
