Bridger-Teton Forest Plan Revision

The Bridger-Teton National Forest is starting the process to revise its forest plan. Forest plans function similarly to county comprehensive plans and zoning documents, and provide comprehensive, strategic, and integrated resource direction that guide all decisions about future projects and uses on the Forest.

No place stays the same, they are always changing. Just as the land and communities change, so must forest plans. With the Bridger-Teton Forest Plan now over 30 years old, it is time for an update. Revising the forest plan is a big project that requires a focused, sustained effort of four to six years. It is a marathon, not a sprint.

Help shape the future of the Bridger-Teton National Forest so together we can care for the land and serve people for generations to come.
