Eastern Idaho

The East Zone of the Idaho Falls District Forestry Program is based out of the Pocatello Field Office and administers forest resources for the Pocatello and the Upper Snake Field Offices. Approximately 166,080 forested acres are located within this area.

Forest management practices such as selective thinning and prescribed fire, are being implemented to help restore overstocked stands to more natural historic levels. Objectives are to improve forest health, decrease hazardous fuel loading, improve wildlife habitat, and stimulate aspen growth.
