Abstract
The 2024 Wyoming Outdoor Recreation Summit (WORS) brought together stakeholders from across Wyoming to discuss the successes and challenges of outdoor recreation in the state. Organized by the WORTH Initiative and the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation, the summit focused on the economic impact of outdoor recreation, fostering community support, and bridging divides between different user groups. The event included sessions on various topics, such as inclusive recreation, trail system economics, and co-existence between recreationists and wildlife. The summit also hosted the first annual Search and Rescue Conference (SARCON), addressing growing concerns in search and rescue operations due to increased outdoor activity. Participants expressed enthusiasm for future summits and the continued collaboration among Wyoming's outdoor recreation community.
