About Us
Our
mission is to lead in the conservation and wise use of the
nation’s forests and grasslands. To carry out this mission, the
US Forest Service is organized into three areas: the National Forest
System, Research, and State and Private Forestry.
As part of the National Forest System, the Rocky Mountain Region enjoys
a proud heritage in the Forest Service. Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest
and Colorado's White River National Forest are among the first National
Forests Congress proclaimed, carved from the original Forest Reserves.
These and other Forests and Grasslands continue to hold in trust America's
resources- timber, wildlife, water, range, recreation - to ensure their
availability today and tomorrow.
The Forest Service is all about sustaining resources—land,
water, vegetation, and wildlife.
Heritage resources are important remnants of the past—prehistoric
and historic human culture and ancient animal life.
Our Forests and Grasslands offer diverse outdoor opportunities. These lands are
yours—to visit, care for, and most of all, enjoy.
