Working Together
Congress designated the USDA Forest Service as the lead federal agency for the administration of the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historical Trail (NPNHT). The Forest Service partners with the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, local and state governments, Tribes, the Nez Perce Trail Foundation, and numerous organizations to coordinate the management and operation of the trail. Jurisdiction for managing segments of the NPNHT has been divided among the federal land agencies according to where NPNHT sections are located.
Contact information for agencies managing sections of the NPNHT can be found here.
Volunteering and Getting Involved
The Nez Perce Trail Foundation (NPTF) is the Forest Service's major nonprofit partner in managing the trail. The NPTF website provides a wealth of information for volunteering for the trail, upcoming events, maps, virtual tours, photos, and other items. Contact the NPTF at khnezpercetrail@gmail.com.
