Snake River Headwaters -- Wild and Scenic River Planning Project
Grand Teton National Park and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway » Snake River Headwaters -- Wild and Scenic River Planning Project » Document List
What comes to mind when you think about the Snake River Headwaters? A wild river and its tributaries flowing through an iconic landscape? The thrill of a demanding whitewater boating experience? A family-friendly place to explore magnificent scenery and view abundant wildlife? A place that compels us to learn about the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 states or to better understand the history of those who thrived on this land before us?
The Snake River Headwaters is all of this and much more. To help us protect this river system for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations, we are embarking upon the development of a comprehensive river management plan for this newly designated wild and scenic river system. The scope of this effort is to complete a plan and environmental assessment for designated portions of the Snake River Headwaters located within and along the boundary of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. In coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the plan will also include a portion of the Gros Ventre River, which is a tributary of the Snake River and serves as the boundary between Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge. In coordination with the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is working on a separate, but concurrent plan for river segments located within the adjacent Bridger-Teton National Forest.
We urge you to read about our planning effort in the newsletter and to share your thoughts with us about what makes the Snake River Headwaters so remarkable to you. Thank you for sharing your passion for this new addition to the National Wild and Scenic River System by helping us shape its future.
During November and December 2010, we are asking for you to share your thoughts, concerns, and vision for the future of the Snake River Headwaters. Your input is very important in guiding the planning team in our work. You can share your comments with us at public meetings in late November and early December 2010, on this website by clicking on "Comment on Document" to the left of this screen, or by completing and mailing the comment card back to us. Please take time to share your ideas and concerns with us.
Sincerely,
The Snake River Headwaters Comprehensive River Management Plan Team
