A drop in federal funding and in the number of users of the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest over the past few years is now translating to trimmed back recreational services and facilities, according to a recent news announcement from the CNNF.
The majority of the recreation sites in the Forest will remain open at the usual full service levels; however, there will be closures or a reduction of services at more than 30 others, including some local sites.
Hilary Markin spokesperson for the CNNF said that the reductions were necessary to balance the budget shortfall as the decreasing number of visitors had tipped the revenue versus expenses scale out of balance.
