Trails

A symposium dealing with the recreation fee pilot projects involving federal lands in Idaho is scheduled for Oct. 30 during the Idaho Trails Council’s annual meeting at Boise State University. Issues include the disparity in fees charged, and the specter of recreationists having to pay day-use fees at various national forests in the state.

The council has planned a panel discussion and an update on the Congressional review of the program.
