Outdoor recreation is more popular now than ever before.
In 1996, you and others made more than 60 million recreation visits to BLM-administered lands to enjoy boating, fishing, hiking, camping, and many other outdoor activities. This pilot program initiates new or revises fees at BLM facilities, and helps spread some of the costs for managing these campsites and use areas. With reasonable user fees, BLM can avoid closing recreation sites and reducing services. These funds will be used at the site for backlogged maintenance, repair projects, signage, habitat or facility enhancement, resource preservation, annual operation, and law enforcement relating to public use. It is everyone's responsibility to protect and enhance the public lands.
