🌲 Get ready to hit the trails! Tomorrow, June 6, is ! 🥾
​To celebrate, the U.S. Forest Service is waiving standard amenity fees. That means FREE access to sites across the Allegheny National Forest and other federal public lands all day Saturday!
​Whether you're hiking, biking, or simply taking a nature walk, let's get outside and celebrate our outdoor spaces. You can help by taking a trash bag on your hike or joining a local trail maintenance project to leave the trails better than you found them. 💚
