Welcome to Sawtooth National Forest

The Sawtooth National Forest is a very special place in the heart of south central Idaho. Managing and protecting this land is most challenging â€“ not only because of its vastness but because of the varied, and sometimes conflicting, interests and values that stakeholders hold near and dear. Managing and protecting this land for future generations means listening and working with other agencies, implementing laws passed by Congress, exercising our best professional judgment, and working with stakeholders. Being stewards of this land and serving our stakeholders are jobs we take great pride in doing.
