Service First

The San Juan National Forest (Forest Service) and the San Juan Field Office (Bureau of Land Management) are pioneering a concept known as Service First. Service First is a partnership strategy to provide better customer service and be more cost effective in the delivery of that service to users of the public land in southwest Colorado.

The San Juan Public Lands Center is the only organization in the country providing leadership in all aspects of land management for the two agencies as one unit. Shared FS/BLM offices in Pagosa Springs, Durango, and Dolores oversee the three San Juan National Forest Ranger Districts, BLM Field Offices, and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.
