Where can I learn about recreation fees or get a Golden Eagle/Age/Access
passport?
A. Most national forest system lands are open, free of charge for your use
and enjoyment. Entrance and user fees may be charged at some areas.
ENTRANCE FEES are required for entering designated federal recreation areas such as National Parks and National Monuments. Entrance fees can be paid each time you visit a forest or grassland, or you can use a special pass, including the Golden Eagle Pass, Golden Age Pass, and Golden Access Pass.
If you plan to use a specialized facility (camping, parking, boat launch, ramps, swimming site, etc.) in the forest, you may have to pay a USER FEE. Learn more about the Recreation Fee Demonstration Project and specific Fee Demo projects that charge user fees.

Where can I purchase Forest Service maps?
A. Maps are available through the U.S. Geological
Survey website at
http://store.usgs.gov/ or
any of the listed business partners. They are also sold in the

Ranger District Offices.
Does the Forest Service ever give out seedlings to the public?
A.
Generally, there is no "free" source of tree seedlings. Some state
forestry commissions have been known at times to give away some to scouts and
similar groups if there is a surplus after the spring planting season.
