Pulaski Users Group.

Devoted to Community Stewardship of Public Lands.

The Pulaski Users Group (PUG) organizes volunteer trips focused on trail maintenance, trail reclamation, and invasive species monitoring. Volunteers receive related training which equips them with the skills and knowledge to complete a variety of trail restoration projects. We aim to inspire community members to be stewards and advocates for our public lands.

We want to acknowledge that we work and live on the traditional lands of the Shoshone-Bannock People. We acknowledge that they have stewarded this land and these waters since time immemorial. We encourage you to check out this map to learn more about whose lands you are on.

This video highlights the Forest Service Intermountain Region Saw Program, a key partner in our efforts to train and certify volunteer sawyers—those approved to safely operate saws on National Forest lands. Certified sawyers play a vital role in keeping trails clear and supporting wildfire prevention. Through our annual Stanley Workshop in the Sawtooth NRA, we help both new and experienced sawyers gain the skills they need. Learn more in the full article here.
