Sierra National Forest Revises Closures for select recreation sites, roads and trails...
The Sierra National Forest (SNF) announces the closure extension of select recreation sites, roads and trails. Closure Order No. 05-15-00-21-15 SNF Recreation Site, Road and Trail Closure supersedes previous Closure Order No. 05-15-00-21-13 SNF Developed Recreation and Trail Closure. For clarity and simplification we’re issuing this order to protect the public from hazards within the SNF as a result of the existing tree mortality and associated hazards due to the recent Creek Fire and Mono Wind event, the net result will be a significant amount of acreage that will be opened, allowing for more recreational oppportunity. Consideration in the termination of this Order early will commence as conditions change. This order will be in effect from July 20, 2021 – August 18, 2021
This Order supersedes Forest Order No. 05-15-00-21-13
