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
USDA 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 forests proclaimed by Congress, 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 forest offers a diversity of outdoor opportunities. These lands are yours—to visit, care for and, most of all, enjoy. |
New Century of ServiceThe Forest Service celebrates our 100th birthday in 2005. Find out how we're preparing to provide another 100 years of service through Rocky Mountain Region's forests and grasslands. OrganizationLocate forest and grassland offices in the Rocky Mountain Region. The USDA Forest Service is led by Chief Dale Bosworth. With a national headquarters in Washington, D.C., the Forest Service operates through nine regions around the country. The Rocky Mountain Region is led by Regional Forester Rick Cables. |
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. This partnership provides one-stop shopping, just as the trading post did in the frontier days. |
