Yellowstone park had no wolves for a long time and the large elk population kept all young alder and aspin trees grazed to extinction. There were no young (alder & aspin) trees in the park. Wolves were introduced in the 70's and now there are large groves of young trees - this is due to a dramatic decrease in the elk population - due to predations by wolves.
