CULTIVATING RESPONSIBLE USE OF WILDLANDS: THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS ACHIEVED PRIMARILY BY FOCUSING ON WINTER BACKCOUNTRY RECREATION IN THE TETON RANGE,WYOMING. 20 BACKCOUNTRY AMBASSADORS (PAID AND VOLUNTEERS) SERVED AT KEY TRAILHEADS AND IN POPULAR USE AREAS WHERE THEY INTERACTED WITH THE PUBLIC TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND DISCUSS THE NEED FOR RESPONSIBLE USE AND SAFETY. TETON PASS HAS OVER 76,000 RECREATIONISTS ON TETON PASS IN THE WINTER AND AN AVERAGE OF 500 DAILY BACKCOUNTRY SKIERS. OUR AMBASSADORS INTERACTED WITH OVER 6000 USERS. OUR ORGANIZATION ALSO RAN A FREE VAN SHUTTLE SERVICE TO THE TETON PASS TRAILHEADS, WHICH REDUCED THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DRIVING TO THESE DESTINATIONS AND DECREASING THE CONGESTION AT THE BUSIEST PARKING AREA. THESE PROGRAMS WERE OPERATED IN CLOSE COOPERATION WITH THE NATIONAL FOREST SERVICE AND OTHER AGENCIES.
