The Jackson Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest is asking for public comment on proposed changes to dog leash requirements on area trailheads. The current requirements which were enacted in 2016 have shown a marked decrease in negative interactions with other dogs, humans, and wildlife as well as reducing waste left behind in high traffic areas. The forest points out that leash requirements are currently in effect only between December 1st and April 30th, and only apply in the trailheads and parking areas as well as on trails that parallel the winter wildlife closures. The proposed changes are intended to improve consistency in regulations while also reducing dog waste and reducing conflicts between people and dogs in the trailhead areas year-round. Additionally, the changes are proposed in order to protect wildlife, protect water quality, provide more enjoyable experiences, and to ensure the safety of people’s dogs in these heavily visited areas. Comments on the plan may be submitted to Tim Farris, Trails/Wilderness Supervisor at timothy.farris@usda.gov.
