Kayak guide dies attempting to rescue client in Yellowstone Lake MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, WY - A 23-year-old kayak guide, Timothy Hayden Ryan Conant from Salt Lake City, Utah, died while attempting to rescue a client who capsized on Wednesday, June 14. The incident occurred in the West Thumb area of Yellowstone Lake. The kayaking group consisted of nine clients and three guides. After receiving a call through the park’s dispatch center, rangers responded to the scene in a patrol boat and found Mr. Conant in the water. They brought him on board and immediately started CPR while in route back to the dock. CPR continued as Mr. Conant was transported to the helipad at Grant Village via ambulance (approximately ½-mile from the dock). A Life Flight landed to assist, but Mr. Conant was pronounced dead before taking off. The client, who Mr. Conant attempted to save, was rescued by other guides in the group and brought to shore before rangers arrived on scene to help Mr. Conant. The client was transported to the park clinic and treated for hypothermia. The incident is still under investigation. “Our hearts are with the Conant family after this terrible loss,” said Superintendent Dan Wenk. Mr. Conant worked as a guide for Oars, a com-pany based out of Angel Camp, California. Oars has offered non-motorized boat tours in Yellowstone under a permit since 1996. This was Mr. Conant’s first season working for Oars as a guide. Since 1894, there have been 41 deaths in Yellowstone Lake. The most recent was in 1997 when two people died while canoeing. With a surface area of 132 square miles, Yellowstone Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake in the United States that is above 7,000 feet. It is roughly 20 miles long and 14 miles wide with 141 miles of shoreline. The aver-age year-round temperature of the lake is 43F. Survival time is estimated to be only 20 to 30 minutes in water of this temperature.

The Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation Volunteer Projects The Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation (ABWF) announces its 2017 Guide to Volunteer Projects for this summer. Anyone looking to spend time outdoors and on the trails in the A-B Wilderness, should check out the ABWF website. There are some fun and fulfilling ways to help our protected public lands. To an or-ganization that relies heavily on the generosity of its volunteers, success is measured by the number of volun-teer recruits as well as the work that gets done.

The ABWF has projects coming up that you can join: July 8th we are tackling weeds along the first few miles of the E. Rosebud trail. A week later we will be working for 5 days on the Knox Lake Trail outside of Gardiner/Jardine—if you want to see a whole different side of the Wilder-ness. The last days of July are dedicated to working on the new trail and bridge over the W. Fork of the Stillwater above the Mine outside of Fishtail/Nye. In August, the ABWF will be working on the first few miles of the Lake Fork Trail outside of Red Lodge, then a spending a week at the historic Cooke City cabin doing more work to improve the muddy start to the “Beaten Path” trail near Kersey Lake. For more details, find out about the projects, and register at: www.ABWilderness.org.

Although trail-building & maintenance projects are the most substantial way in which the ABWF has an im-pact, “our organization has begun to branch out from just doing trail-work projects on Wilderness trails,” says Kallenbach. “We realize that not everyone wants to swing a Pulaski or work out with a crosscut saw, so we are trying to encourage volunteers to help in other ways.”

This summer features a Trail Ambassadors Program—in which interns and volunteers will staff some of the most popular trailheads around the Wilderness, providing information and making sure that folks heading out into the wilderness are well prepared and aware of how to minimize their impacts. Volunteers can also sign on as “Citizen Scientists,” travel into the wilderness, and help trained researchers record data about impacts to backcountry sites. Anyone with a strong background in natural history who might be interested in sharing their knowledge of the natural world with all age groups, should contact the ABWF.

Kallenbach also wanted to announce that Jason Gollan is joining the ABWF team this summer as the Programs Coordinator and leader of the trail trips. Jason, who hails from California by way of New Jersey and Virginia, spent last summer hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and has done significant stewardship work in the South-east. Jason’s position is funded by a $14,000 grant from the National Wilderness Stewardship Alliance (NWSA) received by the ABWF. Jason joins a crew of four volunteer Wilderness Interns hired by the ABWF, who gain valuable conservation experience while working alongside Forest Service crews.

The ABWF was started in 2008 as a response to dire cut-backs in federal resources necessary for taking care of the recreational side of our public lands. For more information about the ABWF and its volunteer opportu-nities, contact David Kallenbach at 406-425-1944 or visit www.ABWilderness.org.
