Custer Gallatin National Forest Plan Revision Public Meeting in Bozeman April 3rd-4th

Each National Forest and Grassland is governed by a Land Management Plan (Forest Plan) in accordance with the National Forest Management Act (NFMA). Plans set desired conditions, standards, and guidelines for management, protection, and use of the Forest. Monitoring conditions on the Forest ensures projects are done in accordance with plan direction and determines effects that might require a change in the Forest Plan.


The Custer Gallatin National Forest Plan Revision team starts developing a revised plan in 2017. Public meetings and collaborative sessions will be offered throughout Spring 2017. These meetings offer an array of involvement options from an evening public meeting to more in-depth collaborative sessions with a focus on tying the current conditions from the recently published Assessment of Existing Conditions Report and items identified as needing to change into the development of potential desired conditions. Meetings will have a main presentation followed by exercise stations and smaller groups. The second day will be hosted through small group discussions. Meetings will also cover what’s ahead in 2017 and a session on Wilderness and Wild and Scenic Rivers. In each location certain topical areas rose as key interest items and will be a focus for those respective areas. The Bozeman Public Meeting will be held April 3rd-4th at the Hilton Garden Inn. Additional online opportunities will also exist through re-occurring and themed webinars in February and April.
