| The Bridger-Teton National Forest sold land adjacent to the Forest Service Supervisor's Office and Jackson District office in Jackson, Wyoming to a private firm that is currently building non-forest employee apartments on their newly acquired property. During the past 2 years construction equipment has been allowed to access and cross forest service property adjacent to the Supervisors/District Offices, fire cache, fire engine crew work area and is impacting firefighter and trail crew operations. Not only is the constant flow of heavy construction equipment in the work area dangerous the ground has been destroyed to a point where it is hazardous to walk on, especially after rain. There is also construction equipment, construction workers vehicles, a mobile office and travel trailer parked on forest property further congesting forest offices and work areas. This congestion has led to an unsafe work environment due to the amount of traffic and heavy equipment crossing the area while forest employees, not trained in construction operations, still need to work in the area to complete their daily tasks. |
