Natural Resources

How much do you know about the plants, animals, and other natural features of your natural resource, the Shoshone National Forest?

Find out more about the physical, biological and ecological aspects of northwestern Wyoming that make the area unique. The spectacular landscape of the forest was shaped by continental and alpine glaciers. Valleys were carved out and lakes left behind. This created the land that early American Indians inhabited, and Eastern settlers viewed in awe.

Animals

Numerous streams, lakes, reservoirs, varied topography, climate, and vegetation of the Shoshohe National Forest provide habitats for an abundance of native fish and wildlife, including many of the most striking animals found in North America.
