Bark beetle epidemic may affect mobility in forests WYOMING (wpr) - This week we learned that the U.S. Forest Service is diverting funds away from certain national forests... and toward forests hit hardest by the bark beetle epidemic. That led to the closure of campgrounds in the Shoshone National Forest, whose budget has been reduced by about 2 million dollars.

Another impact from the bark beetle epidemic is accessibility and movement in forests Basically how hunters, anglers, and big game can get around in forests toppled by the bark beetle. Tim Woolley oversees wildlife management for the Cody region of Wyoming Game and Fish. He tells Addie Goss that there are two scenarios for the national forests.... and each has different implications for people and wildlife.
