Centennial of Service 2006 Projects

The Intermountain Region of the U.S. Forest Service, in collaboration with numerous partners throughout Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming, successfully accomplished over $2.0 million dollars of work on National Forest land in 2006 through the Centennial of Service Challenge cost share initiative. Various partners completed over twenty projects on 13 National Forests in four states, ranging from trail improvements to riparian rehabilitation projects to non-motorized recreation design and layout.

In 2006, in honor of the Centennial of the Forest Service, Congress appropriated money for use by the Forest Service along with partners to fund cost-shared projects. This past year, the Intermountain Region of the Forest Service received $400,000 from Congress to accomplish its work. Nationwide, over 137 individual partner projects were completed, providing more than $12 million in partner contributions.
