GOLETA, Calif. -- In honor of America’s Veterans and Armed Services personnel, Wednesday, November 11, has been designated as a “Fee Free Day” in Southern California National Forests. A National Forest Adventure Pass will not be required for visitors recreating in the Los Padres, Angeles, San Bernardino and Cleveland National Forests.“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 Los Padres National Forest Supervisor Peggy Hernandez. “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, Southern California National Forests also waive the Adventure Pass requirement on National Trails Day in June and National Public Lands Day in September.
Visitors who inadvertently commit a Daily Adventure Pass on a Free Day, can have it replaced free-of-charge. Visitors are reminded that even though the Adventure Pass fee will be waived on November 11, other fees such as campground, reservation and group site fees may still be applicable.Information Provided By The FS.USDA.GOV
