Forest Service Waives Adventure Pass for Veterans Day

SAN BERNARDINO>> In honor of America’s Veterans and Armed Services personnel, Friday, November 11, will be a “Fee Free Day” on the national forests in Southern California. The National Forest Adventure Pass will not be required for visitors recreating in the San Bernardino, Angeles, Cleveland and Los Padres National Forests. The Forest Service is working to ensure as many visitors as possible have the opportunity to experience the great outdoors and take advantage of the many recreational activities America’s national forests and grasslands have to offer. “Veterans Day is a great way to connect communities with public lands while honoring the sacrifices made by America’s Veterans and Armed Services personnel,” said Deputy Forest Supervisor Kay Wiand. “The Fee Free Day is an opportunity to get outdoors and appreciate the open spaces and national treasures of our public lands here in Southern California.” The Veterans Day Free Day is observed each year on November 11, regardless of the day of the week. In addition to Veterans Day, the Southern California national forests also waive fees on National Trails Day in June and National Public Lands Day in September. Visitors who inadvertently commit a Daily Adventure Pass this Friday can have it replaced free-of-charge. Visitors are reminded that even though the Adventure Pass fee will be waived this Friday, other fees such as campground, reservation and group site fees may still be applicable.
