Public lands belong to all of us, and their future depends on diverse voices coming together. At WWF, we work to unite people from across Wyoming—recreationists, conservationists, local communities, and industry leaders—to protect wildlife and the landscapes we love.
The Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) in northwest Wyoming is a vital ecosystem, home to a rich array of wildlife and offering world-class opportunities for hunting, fishing, skiing, camping, and more. But as human pressures grow and new technologies emerge, the way we manage these lands must evolve.
Now is a pivotal moment. The U.S. Forest Service is preparing a draft assessment as part of its Forest Plan revision—a process that happens roughly once every 25 years and dictates how the forest is managed. The last plan for BTNF was revised in 1991, long before the increased human presence we see today.
This revision is part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), meaning public input is not just encouraged—it’s required. As public landowners, we all have a voice in shaping how BTNF is managed for the next two decades. This is our opportunity to ensure the plan balances wildlife conservation, recreation, and sustainable use.
The Forest Service will soon be actively seeking a broad range of perspectives to create a well-rounded, inclusive plan. Your voice matters. Whether you’re a hiker, angler, hunter, conservationist, or local business owner, your input can help shape a future where both people and wildlife thrive.
