The U.S. Forest Service has proposed fee increases in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
The proposal would change or increase existing fees at more than 60 recreation sites and create new fees at 25 sites, according to a Friday Forest Service news release. Areas affected include trailheads, rental cabins, campgrounds and lookouts.
The Forest Service’s goal is to “help offset the increased costs of maintenance at the sites,” according to the news release. Money would be used for garbage collection, improvement projects and to provide “health and public safety.”
