Welcome to the Forest's Media Library - Beta Site
Welcome to the Black Hills National Forest’s Media site, a support resource for Forest management monitoring and a companion site to our Black Hills National Forest web site, both now in Beta testing. In our continuing efforts to comply with Presidential Executive Orders and Congressional intent (including the Freedom of Information Act) that government be transparent and open, ForestPhoto.com allows you to search, browse, and download documents, photos, videos, and audio files that would otherwise not be available on agency web sites due to file size or search ability, for example. You may find files or assets by conducting a quick search using keywords, or by performing an advanced search, or by simply browsing the categories.
To access all of Forest Photo’s features, including creating personalized albums and downloading full size media, please register with us. Every file or asset on this site is free for government use, giving appropriate credit to the Forest and the Photographer. Some of the files or assets are copyrighted for purposes of commercial use.
You are not currently logged in. To view the full catalog of assets, obtain dowload permissions, and request information please login or register.
