Forest Plan Revision

George H.W. Bush was president and Bon Jovi’s “Blaze of Glory” was at the top of the charts the last time the Bridger-Teton National Forest approved a new Land Management Plan (1990). This Plan guides all decisions about future projects and uses of the forest, which means a new Plan is a big deal. The BTNF has recently begun work on a new Plan and YOU are invited to become involved in the planning process to help shape the BTNF’s future. Much has changed ecologically, socially, and economically since the current Plan. Become involved here.

Forest Plan Revision Ryan Dorgan

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. The Bridger-Teton National Forest is a big landscape with diverse communities and interests. Coordinating and scheduling time to meet with people who have interest in the Forest takes time. Active engagement and developing productive relationships are more important than rushing the process.

Plan Guides & Newsletters

Because Plan revisions are so important, the Forest Service has a guide for how users can become involved and is doing regular newsletters about the Plan’s progress.

A Storymap explains the entire process.
