SAN DIEGO — The Cleveland National Forest has extended the public comment period on proposed recreation fee increases throughout the forest until Sept. 30. The proposed fee changes, some of which would more than double if approved, “will help the forest meet the increasing popularity of forest recreation and support maintenance projects to enhance visitor experiences,” according to a statement from the forest. “Recreation fees help provide quality recreation opportunities that meet the modern expectations of visitors and creates a more financially sustainable recreation program for future generations.” Oral comments may be provided in person to Mary Ann Davila Rodriguez during normal business hours at the Cleveland National Forest office or by calling 858-674-2977. After the public comment period closes at the end of business Sept. 30, an advisory committee will review the proposed fee changes and submit recommendations to the regional forester for a final decision.
