Let's Keep Our Trails Beautiful Together!
Friends of the Bridger-Teton helps maintain and support more than 2,000 miles of trails on the fifth-largest national forest in the U.S. With 3.4 million acres of breathtaking landscapes, the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) offers endless adventures.
Recreate Responsibly
While you enjoy all that BTNF has to offer, please recreate responsibly. Your actions help preserve this important resource for future generations.
Join Us in Our Mission
The U.S. Forest Service alone can’t keep up with all of the maintenance and work the BTNF’s trail network requires. We need everyone to pitch in and partner with us to preserve the forest’s stunning landscapes and resources. Whether it’s through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word—every bit helps.
Support Our Trails Today
The Bridger-Teton National Forest is a special place. A donation to Friends of the Bridger-Teton helps us continue to keep it that for future generations.

How much do you know about mule deer? Native pollinators? If you can't make it to our JH Chamber Mixer, how about this? We're partnering with Melvin Taproom & Kitchen and Wyoming Outdoor Council to host what we think might be a first-ever: A trivia night focused on mule deer and native pollinators.
Team sign-up begins at 5:30 pm and trivia starts at 6 pm. Don't miss it!
Join FBT staff and board members and BTNF staff at the 2nd Annual FBT/National Museum of Wildlife Art joint JH Chamber Mixer. Co-hosted with the NMWA, the event is free and a great way to network and connect with the community. The museum is at 2820 Rungius Road in Jackson.
In addition to free nibbles and non-alcoholic beverages, we’re again having a free raffle of eight pieces of artwork donated to the event by artists who live and work in the communities around the BTNF. Hope to see you there!

Wildlife photographer Savannah Rose is a Best Friend of the BTNF by always carrying a GPS spot device in case of emergency and by staying far enough form her wildlife subjects that she doesn't affect their behavior. Read more in this week's Jackson Hole Daily.

With all of the recreational opportunities the BTNF offers, it is easy to forget that the goal of national forests is to be a land of many uses, including timber harvesting.
In 2025, the BTNF had the goals of increasing timber shelf stock and executing planned timber sales.
On the Jackson District, this included the completion of the Phillips Ridge Fuels Reduction contract. This involved mechanical harvest of 165 acres along Jackson Hole's primary source power transmission line in an area of critical importance for reducing hazardous fuels adjacent to Wilson, Wyoming and the Highway 22 travel corridor.
And guess what? The decked timber is now available for public firewood harvest (photo 2)!
