Partnerships
Sawtooth National Forest staff regularly work in partnership with other tribes, states, federal agencies, local government, non-profits, businesses, communities, and private land owners.
They help with trail work, such as maintenance and monitoring of summer and winter trails. They help with education, including: school programs, summer camps, campground programs, and dark sky programs; visitor education at visitor centers and museums; bear, river, wilderness, and aquatic invasives visitor education. They participate in Forest Health initiatives, such as reforestation, restoration, and wildfire mitigation. They help with wildlife monitoring and work together to manage invasive species through cooperative weed management agreements. Many partners come together for coalition and collaborative efforts for fire information, visitor education, trails, and noxious weeds.
