Shoshone National Forest
The Forest Service follows NEPA regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Under this rule, Forest Service officials determine which proposed projects are shared for public input.
The agency no longer issues a schedule of proposed actions (SOPA) report. Below is the current list of proposed projects available for review—your opportunity to learn more, share feedback, and stay engaged in decisions that shape the future of our public lands.
The Forest is proposing the construction of three boat launch sites to improve recreation opportunities, increase the safety of put-in/take-out sites, minimize impacts to hydrology resources, and protect cultural resources.
The proposed activities of the project would include a combination of fuels reduction and mitigation work (cut/pile/burn), aspen enhancement, removal of dead/dying timber, and improvement of defensible space adjacent to values-at-risk.
Increase the resiliency of forest landscapes and communities to wildfire, decrease the impacts of wildfires within the wildland urban interface, and allow for an effective and safe response to wildfires when they occur.
Proposed project to treat areas along federal highway 212 in the Clarks Fork District with a combination of vegetation management prescriptions including sanitation salvage, shelterwood/seed tree harvest prescription, and other methods.
To prevent further damage to Cultural, Riparian, and Upland Habitat, the Forest Service is proposing to alter the Hugh Otte recreation site configuration, contain use to designated areas, rehabilitate needless ground disturbance, and install engineered controls.
The SNF is proposing to authorize the WGFD to expand their bighorn sheep test and remove program to the eastern segment of the Whiskey Mountain herd, located, in part, within the Fitzpatrick Wilderness for a period of 5 years.
Three existing recreation site restroom facilities will be demolished and replaced with new restroom facilities. The existing restroom facilities are outdated and in dilapidated condition.
This is a proposed long term solution for bank stabilization on Sunlight Creek where it intersects with FSR 101.2A (7D Rd). 200 linear feet of bank will be stabilized using large woody debris and historic gravel will be replaced.
The intent of this project is to construct a new trail. The trail will be a continuation of an already constructed trail on the immediately adjacent state park. User created trails in the area will either be decommissioned or adopted as system trails
The Nature Conservancy, a USFS administered rangeland permittee proposes to install a virtual cattle allotment fence in part on USFS administered lands. The intent of the virtual fence is to have greater control over how cattle utilize the landscape.
