Bridger-Teton National Forest

Caring for the Land and serving the People

Welcome to the Bridger-Teton National Forest

Located in Western Wyoming, the Bridger-Teton offers more than 3.4 million acres of public land for your outdoor recreation enjoyment. With its pristine watersheds, abundant wildlife and immense wildlands, the Bridger-Teton National Forest comprises a large part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem - the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 United States. Offering nearly 1.2 million acres of designated Wilderness, over 3,000 miles of road and trail and thousands of miles of unspoiled rivers and streams, the Bridger-Teton offers something for everyone. We encourage you to visit this beautiful landscape and experience this unique piece of American Heritage.

Forest Plan Revision

Forest Plan Revision is about setting fundamental goals and strategies for management of a National Forest. It is a complex task, reflecting the diverse (and sometimes divergent) values that society expects from its public lands. This is especially so for the Bridger-Teton, whose 3.5 million acres play a key role in the lives of those who care for, visit, and depend on the wide array of goods and services that this National Forest provides.

The work of revising our 1990 Forest Plan began in 2005. Throughout the process, we hope our Forest Plan Revision website will educate and inform public stakeholders about BTNF’s Plan Revision, and also draw them into the process itself. We need the public to help us craft the Revised Forest Plan, because it is the public’s values that the Plan strives to address. Questions, concerns or comments?
