Proposed Changes to Recreation Fees Identified by the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests

Proposed Changes to Recreation Fees Identified by the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests The Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland are proposing changes to recreation fees at the new Devils Nose Target Range on the Clear Creek Ranger District. In 2004, Congress passed the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (REA) which allows the Forest Service to retain at least 80% of the money collected at recreation sites and use these funds locally to operate, maintain and improve these sites. Revenue collected through recreation fees would help the forest improve infrastructure at recreation sites and fund additional recreation staff during the season of operation. 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. The public is invited to comment on the proposed fee changes to the developed recreation program. For more information on the proposed project, visit our website at www.fs.usda.gov/r02/arp/recreation/devils-nose-target-range. The comment period is set to end by close of business October 31, 2025. To ensure your comments are considered, please send no later than the above date to Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland, Attention: Bryce Hoffman, Recreation Program Manager, 2150 Centre Ave., Building E, Fort Collins, CO 80526, or sm.fs.devilsnose@usda.gov or through https://arcg.is/qyij80. Once public involvement is complete, the proposed fee changes will be reviewed by an internal advisory committee, who will submit their recommendation to the Regional Forester for a final decision.
