Hi Everyone,

 

Effective 1:00 AM on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 the Tillamook State Forest will enter an Industrial Fire Precaution Level (IFPL) 3. 

 

At that time the following rules will apply until further notice:

 

·         ALL OHV trails in the Browns Camp, Jordan Creek, Diamond Mill, Trask, and Upper Nestucca areas are CLOSED.

 

·         ALL operation of OHVs in the Tillamook State Forest OHV areas and the Upper Nestucca is limited to maintained gravel roads only.

 

·         ALL personal chainsaw use is prohibited in the Tillamook State Forest.

 

The trails will re-open when the IFPL drops back down to a Level 2 or a Level 1.  I will send out an e-mail and update the TSF website when the IFPL drops back down and trails open.

 

Thanks for your help in keeping the Tillamook State Forest safe from wildfires!
