Inflation in this country reached a 40-year high this year, hitting consumer products like gas and groceries. Food banks across the country report a growing demand for food-related assistance. We report on one local pantry serving the Moab community. And winter is certainly upon us, but there’s a lot that has to happen before the snow really starts piling up. For the White River National Forest in Summit County on Colorado’s Western Slope, one important item to check off its to-do list is a logging project.
