The Jackson Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest will be conducting a prescribed fire in the Upper Gros Ventre River Drainage. About 550 acres will be targeted to regenerate aspen tree growth which will, benefit a variety of wildlife.
The fire should last between 4-10 days between the end of September and middle of October depending on weather.
This will occur in the Haystack Fork and Little Bear Paw Fork of Slate Creek in the Gros Ventre River Drainage. See map.
