Ranger Dale Deiter will report to the Forest Oct. 15.

Forest Supervisor Kniffy Hamilton of the Bridger-Teton National Forest announced Tuesday that she has hired a new District Ranger for the Jackson Ranger District.
Dale Deiter will report to the Forest on Oct. 15, 2007 to assume his new role as District Ranger. The Ranger position had been vacant since this summer. Deiter is familiar with the position as he was temporarily assigned to Jackson to fulfill the Ranger duties until a permanent selection could be made.
The Jackson District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest includes 157 acres of forest land and 287,035 acres of wilderness areas. Additionally, Deiter will assist in managing more than 680-miles of trail and 320 special use permits on the District.
Deiter comes to the Bridger-Teton from the Fishlake National Forest in Utah. While working in Fishlake he was the travel management plan team leader for several years.
Deiter’s training is in hydrology and he served as the forest hydrologist on the Fishlake and the Idaho Panhandle National Forests.
Deiter also worked as a pre-sale forester on the Idaho Panhandle.
Deiter will move to Jackson with his wife, Siobhan and their children Aidan, Cailin and Conor.
“We are very much looking forward to having Dale as part of our leadership team and leading the Jackson District,” said  Hamilton. “He will be a wonderful asset to the Bridger-Teton.”
