Special Uses

Highways, byways, and easements that cross forest lands are examples of special uses that benefit society.  Other special uses that benefit area communities include communications towers, power lines, pipelines, and solar electric production.  

The Highlands Center for Natural History and the Walnut Creek Center for Education and Research provide nature programs for people of all ages.  

Recreation special uses include weddings, organization camps, commercial filming, outfitter-guides, and the Lynx Lake Café and Marina.  Races and other special events held across the Forest attract residents and visitors from around the country.
