BAKER CITY, OR – Wallowa-Whitman Forest officials have reduced Public Use restrictions to Phase A and Industrial Fire Precaution to Level I. This is a downgrade from the PUR phase B announced July 21 and returned to the original PUR phase A announced July 14th. This change is due to the recent increase in moisture in the area.
From the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest:
The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest encourages everyone to Recreate Responsibly on Forest lands. For updates to the FDR,IFPL and PURs, check out our website for the latest details (www.fs.usda.gov/wallowa-whitman).
