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? Please e-mail us at btnfplanrevision@fs.fed.us, or contact an individual member of our Plan Revision Team FPR Team Membership [PDF].
