Forest Service seeks input on rising fees

Forest Service seeks input on rising fees Written by Geoffrey Plant on June 9, 2021 During a five-hour-long work session Tuesday morning, Grant County commissioners heard several presentations covering broadband infrastructure, the Tyrone Mine expansion and forest fees, among other topics. Commissioners also decided at the end of the marathon meeting that they would not meet later as the Gila Regional Medical Center Governing Board, which had been scheduled to gather for a closed-door special session. They will meet again for a regular meeting on Thursday, however, and will run through an agenda of 24 action items, ranging from consideration of a resolution describing the duties of an interim county manager who would temporarily replace outgoing manager Charlene Webb to accepting a small adjustment to polling precinct boundaries put forward by County Clerk Marisa Castrillo.

SILVER CITY – Campfire and smoking restrictions are now in place on the Gila National Forest in order to protect public health and reduce preventable human-caused fires.

Fire restrictions for the Gila National Forest include allowing campfires only in designated developed campgrounds and picnic areas and must be in a Forest Service provided metal grill or metal fire pits. Fires in rock rings will not be allowed. The use of pressurized, petroleum-fueled stoves, lanterns or heating devices are acceptable, provided they meet the fire underwriter’s specifications for safety.
