MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. – The Mendocino National Forest will provide additional developed recreational opportunities to the public on Saturday, May 16.
“We continue to recommend that you follow local shelter in place orders and recreate close to home,” Mendocino National Forest Supervisor Ann Carlson said. “All visitors should practice self-sufficiency during their visit to the Mendocino National Forest. Recreating responsibly will help ensure that expanded access to recreational facilities, services, and opportunities continues. All services may not be available, so please plan accordingly.”
Responsible recreation practices include:
• Maintaining at least 6 feet distancing from others.
• Not gathering in groups and following the latest guidance from officials.
• Communicating with others as you pass, alerting users of your presence and stepping aside to let others pass.
• Packing out your trash and leaving with everything you bring in and use.
• Bringing your own water, soap, sanitizer and toilet paper.
Please check the forest website and social media pages for the most up-to-date information on what is open so that you can plan your visit. You can call the Supervisor’s Office at 530-934-3316 during regular business hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
