Dear Editor,

A reminder that the USFS order which closes all camping AND bans all campfires in the immediate USFS land surrounding Nederland remains in effect. All camping is prohibited from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. under this law (in the area depicted in the map). The only exception is at West Magnolia at numbered camping sites. Also, all fires (with exception of USFS installed steel fire rings at West Magnolia numbered sites) are prohibited regardless of fire ban status. To report, call the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line 303-441- 4444.
