Snowboarders, climbers, skiers, bowhunters. You, me and your friends. The National Forests belong to us all. Most ski resorts lease National Forest land. In fact, 122 resorts operate on these publicly-owned parcels. Backcountry skiing and riding options abound on National Forest lands, as well as camping, climbing, mountain biking and fishing opportunities, not to mention hunting each fall. If playing outdoors makes you happy, then you have National Forest lands to thank for that. So you just might want to play a part in protecting them.
