Innovation and the National Park Service
by Miki SaxonBureaucracies are not noted for their vision or rapid adoption of new technology and the National Park Service is a prime example of that.
So it was a major surprise to see that the NPS is integrating cutting edge technology in iconic Yellowstone Park’s infrastructure.
Not only that, but NPS is doing it with a public/private partnership, to boot.
The new concrete, called Flexi-Pave, is made with stones and recycled tires, and Michelin has been helping them install it all over the park.
Wow. If NPS can do something this radical maybe there’s hope for progress on other fronts and from other bureaucracies.
