Where: Bridger-Teton National Forest (Jackson, Wyoming)
When: July 26 – Aug 2, 2008
Located in western Wyoming adjacent to the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, the Bridger-Teton is one of the largest forests in the United States covering 3.4 million acres. Participants will construct mountain bike and hiking trails, remove fencing to allow unrestricted movement of wildlife, and help control fire through a fuels reduction project where the forest and urban areas meet.
The project will provide a much larger area and open range for wildlife, such as elk, moose, antelope, mule deer, bear, and wolf. The open range is especially important for these animals during the winter months when food is scarce. In addition, the larger available area will improve breeding, birthing, grazing, and it will reduce the transmission of disease. Clearly, this meaningful project will benefit many native flora and fauna for years to come.Recreational activities include white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and visiting Teton/Yellowstone National Parks.
