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.

In partnership with the Wyoming State Trails Program and the U.S. Forest Service, we’re hiring six Winter Snowmobile Trail Ambassadors to support the Winter Motorized Recreation Ambassador Program. These Trail Ambassadors will engage directly with snowmobilers to promote safety, responsible recreation, and sticker compliance with Wyoming State Trails regulations.
This is a seasonal, part-time position focused on education, user contact, and trail stewardship at high-use snowmobile trailheads in the Big Piney, Greys River, and Kemmerer Districts.
The positions run from now until April 15 and pay is $17/hour plus a mileage reimbursement ($.70). The work schedule is Fridays through Sundays. Experience with backcountry or motorized winter recreation and avalanche safety are required.
�To apply, please send the following to monica@btfriends.org:
1. Resume highlighting relevant outdoor, recreation, or public engagement experience;
2. Brief cover letter expressing your interest and availability;
3. Three professional or volunteer references.
Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled.

Happy National Cookie Day!
Last summer, our Ambassadors in the Upper Gros Ventre, Ingrid and Dan, perfected baking high-altitude chocolate chip cookies. They estimate they made more than 300 cookies over the summer. Lucky visitors to their post at the Goosewing Guard Station sometimes got fresh cookies! The couple also made fresh scones and loaves of sourdough bread.
Our Ambassadors are important for helping BTNF users recreate responsibly, putting out abandoned campfires, and ensuring campers store their food properly (the BTNF is bear country!), and they also go above and beyond, doing stuff like Ingrid and Dan did.

This past year we:
* Had more Ambassadors (42) at more locations (23) on more districts (5) than ever before;
* Cleared/logged out 1,179 trees from 134 miles of trails;
* Made connections with more than 10,600 BTNF users;
* Managed more than 40 bear jams;
* Rehabilitated one of the country's most popular wedding sites on public land;
And so mush more!
