Brant Petersen will serve as the next forest supervisor for the Boise National Forest, the U.S. Forest Service announced in a Friday press release.

Brant replaces Tawnya Brummett, who left the position in January 2023.

“His diverse experience in forest management, recreation, hazardous fuels treatment, wildland fire and leadership will help the Boise National Forest continue to be successful in our Forest Service mission,” Intermountain Regional Forester Mary Farnsworth said in the release.

Petersen has 28 years of Forest Service experience and serves as the Idaho State Liaison, according to the release. As the liaison, he worked closely with Idaho’s legislative representatives, county officials, state and federal agencies, and various other stakeholders throughout Idaho.

Prior to this position, he served as the district ranger for the Idaho City Ranger District of the Boise National Forest for nine years. He started his career in 1995 working in the timber program on the Boise National Forest. He went on to work in engineering on the Deschutes National Forest in central Oregon and Boise National Forest, then worked in recreation management for the Payette National Forest. Petersen served as a Forest Service line officer for 15 years, working on projects and issues including vegetation management, wildfire rehabilitation, fuels management, large scale mining exploration projects, and various recreation management projects.

Petersen holds a bachelor’s degree in forest management from Utah State University.

“I am honored to have been entrusted with this leadership role on the Boise National Forest,” Petersen said in the release. “The Idaho State Liaison position has provided me the opportunity to work directly with our legislative representatives, public and partners. I look forward to continuing to strengthen these existing partnerships and building new relationships to help the Boise National Forest better serve our public.”
