CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST
BOZEMAN – The 3.1 million-acre Custer Gallatin National Forest is starting a forest plan revision with a series of community public meetings across the region.
Ultimately, the four-year process instructs a new forest plan, a comprehensive overarching document providing guidance for forest management for years to come. Public involvement in the forest plan early and often helps to create the vision for the national forest in the coming decade.
“Over the next four years the forest plan needs to bring together ecological, social and economic interests,” said Virginia Kelly, forest plan revision team leader. “Communities and the Forest Service will work together to determine what that means across the Custer Gallatin National Forest.”
The first public meetings will be held Feb. 22 through March 9. Each meeting will have similar agendas and will be held in the afternoon or evening depending on location.
Forest plan revision meetings will be the first opportunity for the public to provide local knowledge and information about current conditions, trends, perceptions and concerns, while also introducing the forest plan revision team to communities around the Custer Gallatin National Forest.
Meetings will include a brief district update and move into an introduction and overview of the revision process and how to understand the Custer Gallatin National Forest as a whole. Following the presentation there will be an opportunity to identify important interests in communities, ask questions and speak to Forest Service staff one-on-one.
Early and continued engagement throughout the forest plan revision process is welcomed and encouraged. Additional public meetings further into the assessment of existing conditions process will be hosted in June.

Feeling worn out from the winter? Feeling bloated, low energy or foggy in the mind? Maybe it’s just time to have a reset and boost your immune system!
It’s that time of year again, to refresh, renew and revitalize!
The community cleanse utilizes the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in order to help detoxify the body and reboot the digestive system, plus going through the process with a community of others makes it all that much easier to get through it successfully. It is not a time of starvation or deprivation, we eat 3 (or 4) meals each day and take specific herbs to assist the process of releasing toxins. It is designed to be a two-week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are able to commit to and dates can be flexible if need be. You are also welcome to do it from a distance if you won’t be in Big Sky this spring!
What it includes: digestive herbal supplement and body oil (specific to your needs), 4 cleansing and rejuvenating herbal formulas, 7 days of the Ayurvedic cleansing food, a booklet of information on the step-by-step process and some recipes, weekly meetings and daily email support through the process.
