National Forest Fees (FLREA) Town Hall, 7/15/2008, Lake Isabella, CA, Sequoia National Forest - Post #2

The Lake Isabella-Bodfish Property Owners Association hosted a Kern River Valley Town Hall in Lake Isabella, CA on July 15, 2008. The purpose of the gathering was to discuss the new fees being proposed for the Sequoia National Forest by Forest Service Supervisor Tina Terrell. The Forest Service claims that the December 2004 Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) allows the agency to raise fees on Public Lands in the United States. The complete meeting was recorded; the introduction video is on my earlier post today. This followup shows videos two, three and four of seven: the presentations of the three invited speakers - Peter Wiechers, Ron Benoit and Forest Service Supervisor Tina Terrell.
