Forest Service News Release
Yreka, Calif., June 30, 2023—The Klamath National Forest is excited to welcome outdoor enthusiasts as they gear up for the upcoming Independence Day festivities. Celebrating this national holiday outdoors is a cherished tradition across the United States. However, it is crucial to remember that fireworks and pyrotechnics are strictly prohibited on public lands. This prohibition applies to every forest, campsite, and day of the year.
As the temperatures rise in northern California, the potential for forest fires increases rapidly throughout the North State. Before embarking on your adventure, we urge you to check the Klamath National Forest’s website (www.fs.usda.gov/klamath) for the current fire danger level and any public use restrictions that are in effect.
