Toyota’s work with Yellowstone National Park began with four Priuses. The hybrid vehicles were perfect for supporting visitor services and helping to reduce the park’s overall environmental footprint, according to Kevin Butt, senior director of Environmental Sustainability for Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) and chair of Yellowstone Forever (formerly known as the Yellowstone Park Foundation Board). Plus, there was an unexpected third benefit: raising environmental awareness.

Over the years, the collaboration has accomplished a series of major achievements. In 2010, Toyota engineers helped design what would become the Yellowstone Old Faithful Visitor Education Center. That same year, Toyota also donated $1 million toward the construction of the center. In 2015, Lamar Buffalo Ranch, one of Yellowstone’s ranger stations and educational centers, received a renewable distributed energy system that reuses Camry Hybrid battery packs to create a reliable, sustainable, zero-emission power source.

A year later, Toyota donated another $1 million toward the creation of a new Yellowstone National Park Youth Campus, which would both educate future conservationists and help shrink the campus’ environmental footprint.

Some of us attended the Toyota release of the 3d generation in Detroit. I remember the lady from Yellowstone.
