Impacts of climate change on recreation and ranching in Wyoming and Montana

 
Headline:  Cowboy State Daily, 8/25/2024
“The store is open for business, but water access is closed,” said Ryan Bogers. “We usually have pickups and boat trailers everywhere. Hundreds.” 
This is the third time that the Marina has been closed this summer because of wildfires. Two small fires in the southern Montana area shuttered the marina in July for more than a week while the latest fires raging in Montana and Wyoming have tacked on another four days. 
Also devastated are ranchers across the region who don’t yet know the extent of the damage to their operations, from livestock killed to loss of critical feed and forage.
