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.
Natural ResourcesThe 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. RecreationOur Forests and Grasslands offer diverse outdoor opportunities. These lands are yours—to visit, care for, and most of all, enjoy. |
OrganizationLocate National Forest and Grassland offices in the Rocky Mountain Region. Chief Gail Kimbell leads the USDA Forest Service. With a national headquarters in Washington, D.C., the Forest Service operates through nine regions around the country. Regional Forester Rick Cables leads the Rocky Mountain Region. |
ResearchThe Rocky Mountain Research Station supports our natural-resource programs through relevant research and development of state-of-the-art management tools. Service FirstService First is a partnership between the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management providing one-stop shopping, just as the trading post did in the frontier days. |
