THE STORY OF A WILDLAND FIRE DISPATCHER
Robert Hudson Westover
Excerpt: "Leslie Zollinger, who is a single mom, was hired fulltime by the FS in 2020. Because of the recent temporary pay supplement, she was able to not fall below the poverty line."

A new boot brush station was installed at the Blackwater Trail! Its kiosk encourages visitors to clean their footwear to help prevent the spread of invasive plants such as spotted knapweed. Thanks to WYldlife Fund and Park County Weed and Pest Control District for helping!!

Thanks to a recent grant from @vitalground, the Shoshone NF now loans bear-resistant food storage bags to the public, free of charge! A limited number of food storage bags are available at Ranger District offices in Lander, Dubois, and Cody. Bags are free, but require a deposit.

Despite the rainy weather, over 200 young anglers attended Kid's Fishing Day! Thanks to all who participated!!

The Shoshone NF has signed a new Forest Order relating to food and attractant storage. Food Storage Orders have been an effective mechanism for protecting public safety and minimizing human-bear conflicts.
