A one-time donation from Rockefeller Foundation--and other gifts--helped keep WY parks open this season, but what lies ahead?
"Philanthropy and nonprofits have kept the consequences of across-the-board federal budget cuts largely invisible to tourists traveling through national parks this summer. But officials don't know how long the effects of the so-called sequester will remain unseen. The fissures that would otherwise remain open in the aftermath of the 5 percent budget cuts, which triggered March 1, have been capped thanks to the altruism of private individuals, park associations and park foundations." -- Kyle Roerink, the Casper Star-Tribune
