Attention local organizations! Submit your forest improvement project proposals to the USFS by October 3. About $600,000 in funding is available for activities like noxious weed control.

Local authorities are actively managing the lightning-fueled Easy Fire near Mazama. Plan your travel on SR20 carefully to avoid disruptions.

The fire has spread north along the shoreline and evacuation notices have extended northward, with the Stehekin Valley area now under Level 1.

National Forest spokesperson Robin DeMario says some local laws may allow fireworks close to the forest, but are never allowed inside.

Stay informed about the Pioneer Fire's containment progress and strategic suppression efforts with the latest updates.

Half of the top 10 sites in the forest are near Leavenworth, according to one camping website.

It happens every spring because deer fawns are typically born between April and June.

As a result, there will be no day-use fees at trailheads, picnic areas, visitor centers, and other recreation sites.

Most of the campgrounds are now open while a few are still going through the cleanup process from winter.

There are also hazards with the water because it's extremely cold and flowing rapidly because of snow melt this time of year.
