Forest Service Park

About The Forest Service Park

Forest Service Park can be found one block west on Main Street, at the southern edge of Ketchum. This quiet spot offers stunning views. Engelmann spruce is also found here. They were planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 when it was U.S. Forest Service property. Ketchum acquired the property through citizen-driven efforts. Locals often visit the park for their lunch breaks or dog walks. It has a historic feel that is enjoyed by both locals and visitors.

The Sun Valley Museum of History is now located in the buildings to the north of the park. This was made possible by a lease from The Community Library. Ketch'em Alive is a popular summer concert series that features live music, dancing, and a rotating selection of food and beverage vendors.

Forest Service Park can be reserved all year. The public toilets are still available through winter. Please note that maintenance personnel and facilities cannot remove snow from the paths through the park. For events at Forest Service Park, a Special Event Application and Park Reservation Application are required.

The US Forest Service manages about 154 national forests in the U.S., which is around a quarter of the total land area. The agency provides guidance to the public on outdoor recreation and offers permits for special recreation activities. For information, visit the website of the US Forest Service. This organization provides a wealth of resources for the public to enjoy.

The Forest Service also allows interns to gain experience in different departments. You can work in a visitor center, develop educational programs, conduct surveys of fish and wildlife, or even develop restoration projects. The duties you'll be performing will depend on your skills and interests. You might also be required to work on a variety of projects such as trail maintenance.

In addition to managing the parks, the Forest Service manages national forests. National parks focus on the conservation of natural resources and the preservation of pristine landscapes. This agency is overseen by the Department of Interior. They have a wide range of rules for recreational activities, including fees. If you're planning a trip to a forest service park, be sure to check out the regulations before going. The National Park Service is part of the executive branch of the government, and their job is to enforce laws set forth by congress. National Parks are designated wilderness areas that are free of all infrastructure and development. Motorized equipment, including motorcycles, are prohibited in national parks. In contrast, national forests are open to hunting and fishing. The oldest National Parks are Yellowstone and the Shoshones National Forest.
