Your Recreation Fees at Work
The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) --was enacted by
Congress as part of the 2005 Omnibus Appropriations Bill and signed into law by President Bush
on December 8, 2004.
This Act provides agencies with recreation fee authority for 10 years, which allows agencies to improve the efficiency of the program, provide
better facilities and services to visitors and enter into
fee management agreements with counties and other entities to provide additional services
to visitors.
Fee Revenues Do Make a Difference
The majority of proceeds from the FLREA goes right back into maintaining and improving the things you use most like bridges, buildings, trails, boat ramps, and visitor centers. Funds also provide services like interpretive tours and cleaning up sites.
A portion of proceeds are used to match grants, fund volunteer efforts, and create partnerships. Partnerships include dozens of organizations that provide trail and campground maintenance and help hundreds of young people understand and appreciate the forest environments.
