BTNF staff will be in Pinedale Library’s Lovatt Room from 5 – 7 p.m. July 17 to answer questions from the public about its Draft Assessment Plan, which is among the first steps in its multi-year Forest Plan Revision process.
Although originally envisioned to guide policy for roughly 15–20 years, the BTNF’s current forest plan has been in place since 1990. Last year the BTNF embarked on a multi-year revision process to update the plan and will release its Draft Assessment for public review and comment on July 11.
This Draft Assessment was informed by gathering data and the best available science to determine current ecological, social, and economic conditions and trends affecting the forest and also public engagement. Read and comment on the Draft Assessment here.
Public comment is open through August 24, 2025.
