Current Projects
South Valley Trails
We are the main partner with the Bureau of Land Management - Shoshone Field Office (BLM) for building and maintaining the approximately 81 miles of new trail to be constructed near Hailey and Bellevue. These trails are made possible by a Decision Record for the Wood River Valley Recreation and Access Environmental Assessment declared on March 1st, 2021. Read more about this development here.
This partnership includes new trail construction, trail maintenance, trail monitoring and volunteer work parties. We plan to build 30 - 40 miles of new trail between 2025 - 2028. Read more about the Wood River Trail Infrastructure Agreement here.
The Greenhorn Improvements Project
We are so excited to present to the community the Greenhorn Improvements Project. In collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service - Sawtooth National Forest - Ketchum Ranger District, we are bringing some much needed restoration and trail realignment to the Greenhorn trail system.
THE FOX CREEK BRIDGE scoping period
The Ketchum Ranger District (KRD) of the Sawtooth National Forest is seeking comments for the Fox Creek Bridge Replacement Project proposed to take place in the Fox Creek drainage. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Ketchum Ranger District is considering the proposal under a categorical exclusion. The initial stage of the NEPA process includes public scoping to obtain comments and input regarding the project proposal that will help determine key issues.
The WRTC encourages comments, and looks forward to partnering with the USFS - KRD on an appropriate solution to this perennial problem.
Please either hand-deliver comments to the KRD in Ketchum, or email them to comments-intermtn-sawtooth-ketchum@usda.gov
