All roads are now open, but are subject to closure.
Protecting Yellowstone is the responsibility of the American public. Although wildfires in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho are occupying the headlines these days, other issues facing Yellowstone remain. One such issue is the fate of Yellowstone's bison, who face death at the hands of the Montana Department of Livestock when they leave park boundaries during the winter months. The National Park Service is close to releasing a Environmental Impact Statement concerning bison management. The joint ROD will be signed by the agencies this fall and will be made available to the public.
