   "There was a great turnout and a lot of good ideas voiced by those in attendance," said Arvid Aase the museum specialist/paleontologist for FBNM. Most of the ideas voiced by locals dealt with conservation of land, preservation of vegetation and wildlife, monitoring wildlife, more outreach/educational programs, better advertising and marketing, especially for the smaller parks, better national public relations, providing more overnight campsites, and extended hours at the parks. Following completion of all the listening sessions, the Department of the Interior and NPS officials will gather the data, identify signature projects and then submit that data in a report to President Bush on May 31. For local results, contact McGinnis or Aase at FBNM, (307) 877-4455.

   Washington, D.C.,Arvid Aase, a museum specialist geologist at Fossil Butte National Monument, Wyo., yesterday received the 25th Annual National Freeman Tilden Award from the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) and the National Park Service for his commitment to public education and fostering stewardship of the national parks.
   
   "In working with a variety of partners to create a community-wide fossil hunt, Arvid Aase has provided park visitors with new ways to explore and interpret the evolution of ancient fossils," said Laura Loomis, senior director of NPCA, who presented this award at the National Association for Interpretation Workshop in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
   ...
   Aase's interpretive project, "Fishing the Layers of Time: A Community-wide Fossil Hunt," is a personal diary of a visit to the Fossil Butte National Monument and community of Kemmerer, Wyo., exploring ancient fossils preserved in Fossil Lake. Through his research, 26 fossil exhibits were selected to represent a variety of fossils preserved in Fossil Lake and then installed in businesses around the community. Working with the Fossil Basin Promotion Board and the Kemmerer Foundation, Aase worked to acquire ancient fossils, wrote and designed an accompanying book and map, and designed rubbing plates and interpretive signs to engage the public. He also photographed 2,000 specimens, choosing 200 photos for use in the "Aquarium in Stone" and "Fossil Legacy" poster sets.
