San Bernardino, Calif., September 21, 2010 – San Bernardino National Forest officials today announced that September 25, a “Fee Free Day” for visitors to the forest.
An Adventure Pass is typically required for day use activities and camping at many recreational facilities in the Forest. This weekend’s “Fee Free Day” applies to all Adventure Pass areas except where other fees such as reservation fees and group site fees will also still apply. Forest visitors who unknowingly validate a daily Adventure Pass on “Fee Free Day” can have the pass replaced free of charge at most Forest Service offices.
“National Public Lands Day is a good day to enjoy the great outdoors, both by visiting the national forest and taking part in one of the many volunteer opportunities around the forest,” said San Bernardino National Forest Supervisor Tom Gillett. “This year, we are hosting events that include a cleanup in Lytle Creek, as well as the Parry Pinyon Pines project near Idyllwild.”
National Public Lands Day began in 1994 with 3 federal agencies and 700 volunteers. Last year, 150,000 volunteers assisted with projects at over 2,000 locations across the country.
