The Forest Service budget in regards to the allocation for the support and development of recreation on the National Forests, has been slashed continually. Much deferred maintenance has resulted, campgrounds are in need of repair, trails are closed and more.The Forest Service has increasingly reached out to the public, all recreationists, cabin owners and others to form partnerships that benefit the public lands.​

​

• The emphasis chosen by hard working volunteers cover the following:

​

• Serve as stewards of National Forest lands.​

​

• Improve and provide for safety on National Forests lands, through fire protection programs, neighborhood awareness and education of cabin user and forest visitors.

​

• Facilitate intensive recreation at minimal impact on lands and ecosystems.

​

• Provide significant economic impact to local economies and counties.

​

• ​Partner with Forest Service on projects to benefit program and forest management.

​

• Represent and communicate National Forest development, cabin history and a  sense of place to other forest visitors: and to establish a sense of community among forest users through active support of, and involvement in, local organizations and programs.

​

​The 21st Century will be defined as “how so few can affect so many”. Cabin owners are leading the way, people like you and I who value our time on Forest Service lands.​
