Welcome
Welcome to the Sawtooth National Forest! The Sawtooth National Forest
is a very special place here in the heart of Idaho. We hope you
will take the time to learn about this "working/producing" National
Forest. Managing and protecting your land is most challenging -
not only because of the vastness of this land, but because of the
varied, and sometimes conflicting, interests and values that you
the owners of this land hold near and dear. Managing and protecting
this land, for today and as well as future generations, means listening
and working with other agencies, implementing the laws mandated
by Congress, exercising our best professional judgment and working
with you, the shareholders of this National Forest. We sincerely
hope that you will always feel free to question what and how we
are doing, and more importantly become involved in our processes
as we plan and make decisions regarding the management of this National
Forest. We are the stewards of your land - a job that we take a
great deal of pride and satisfaction in. If at any time there is
anything we can do to help make your time here more enjoyable. Our
employees are here to serve you.
