The following statement appears on page 79 of the White River NF Travel Management Plan.
The Forest Service will continue to rely more heavily on resources besides congressional appropriations for the operation, maintenance, and management of roads, trails, and other facilities needed to serve forest users. User groups will need to increase their involvement in assisting the forest with maintenance of many of these routes either through volunteer labor, grant acquisition, or user fees of some type to continue their availability unless congressional appropriations increase dramatically and keep up with increased use. It is unlikely that new opportunities will be considered unless they can be constructed and maintained from resources originating outside Forest Service budgets.
(WRNF TMP DEIS p.79)
That statement leave little to the imagination. It is, however, such a contrast to what the USFS was saying just a few years ago.
