Please add items in the comments!
The Custer Gallatin National Forest is currently revising its long term plan. This will shape many decisions for decades to come.
Comments are open through June 6th, so you can still influence the planning process. See the Public Involvement links on the FS’ master page for the new plan and specifically How to Comment on the Proposed Action. There’s a helpful Roadmap to the plan.
Specifics on Bridger Canyon and the Crazies start at page 130 of the Proposed Action, which you can review here. We’ve reproduced the maps from the plan here, for quick access:
For comparison, the current 1987 plan, as amended through 2015, is here.
We’ve added a page of resources on dark-sky compliant lighting. Take a look!

We’ve supplemented the Zoning information page with a list of resources for getting in touch with County departments and commissions, and submitting testimony to hearings. Check it out!
