Forest Service Fee Plans FinalizedThe U.S. Forest Service settled on a fee of two dollars per person for visitors to the South Tufa area of Mono Lake as well as the Forest Service Visitor Center exhibits and film, effective April 1. Golden Eagle, Golden Age, and Golden Access passes also will be accepted. 80% of the funds raised though the admission fee are designated for Mono Basin projects ranging from ranger-led walks to facilities maintenance. Comments on the program are being sought. "We want to know if [visitors] perceive that their dollars are being spent where they should be, and if they are indeed seeing improvements within the Scenic Area as expected," said Forest Supervisor Dennis Martin. Fee comments and questions should be directed to Roger Porter, Scenic Area Manager, P.O. Box 429, Lee Vining, CA 93541, 760-647-3010.
