Yellowstone offers an annual subscription, which will begin to operate in 150 years: why is it needed

Yellowstone National Park is offering a $1500 annual pass that won't run until 2172. This unusual offer is part of a fundraising effort to celebrate the park's 150th anniversary. TheGuardian.

The park hopes the tickets, dubbed The Inheritance Passes, will be used by the donor's descendants. Yellowstone Forever, the park's fundraising arm, will use the money to support park projects such as trail improvements, education, native fish conservation, and scientific research.

“This is our way to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone National Park and help preserve the park for the next 150 years,” Lisa Dieckmann, President and CEO of Yellowstone Forever, told The Billings Gazette.
The concept was created by Havas Chicago advertising agency.

Instead of looking back to celebrate the park's 150th anniversary, Havas Chicago said it was the perfect time to look to the future and think about how to preserve the park for future generations.

Inheritance passes will be valid for entry into Yellowstone in 2172. Donors will also receive a Yellowstone entry pass valid for a year after its first use, said Wendy Carr, marketing director for Yellowstone Forever.

Yellowstone, America's first national park, celebrated its 1th anniversary on March 150st. This milestone comes as the park and its rangers grapple with a host of challenges, including the climate crisis and the pressure of growing visitor numbers.
