HR County Forest Reopens For Recreational Use

Hood River County reopened its forestlands for all recreational uses on Monday, with the exception of those prohibited under Oregon Department of Forestry regulations.  The County closed the forest on September 11 in the midst of extreme fire danger.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel said County Forester Doug Thiesies made the recommendation to reopen, based on cooling weather patterns and forecasts for precipitation this week.  Hecksel did emphasize a fire ban remains in effect for the County forestlands.
