REPORT CONCERNING OVERGRAZING AS A
LANDSCAPE PROBLEM
![Hillside trails, Yellowstone](images/fauna2-f46.jpg)
Figure 46. Elk trails scarring the hillsides,
about which Mattson spoke. (Photograph taken May 19, 1932, at Mammoth
Hot Springs, Yellowstone. Wildlife Division No. 2258.)
![Overbrowsed by elk, Yellowstone](images/fauna2-f47.jpg)
Figure 47. Elk-browsed junipers and Douglas firs
along the road between Mammoth and Gardiner. This is not only a landscape
problem of today, but of the future, for practically no coniferous
reproduction is succeeding.

Wildlife Division No. 2542.)
![Sagebrush carcasses, Yellowstone](images/fauna2-f48.jpg)
