Rangeland and Grazing
Rangelands form a major component of ecosystems in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Vegetative communities represented include: desert, grasslands, shrub-lands, woodlands, riparian and open canopied forests. Well-managed rangelands provide forage for wildlife and domestic livestock in addition to quality water and recreational values.

Annual Operating Instructions (AOIs)
In the interest of creating a high level of transparency in our Range Vegetation Management program, the Bridger-Teton National Forest is making all of our Annual Operating Instructions available to the public for cattle/horse and sheep/goat grazing allotments across the Forest by August 1, annually. There are many interested publics and partners who want to keep abreast of management on our grazing allotments and this will allow them to access information. The following links display the annual operating instructions for each of the grazing allotments by district on the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
