The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) allows the park service to collect and retain revenue and requires that fee revenue be used to enhance the visitor experience. All of the money collected at Cedar Breaks remains at the park. What does that mean for our national parks and for you?
The NPS is authorized to use entrance and recreation fees for a variety of items related to your experience, such as:
-
Repair, maintenance, and facility enhancement related directly to visitor enjoyment, visitor access, and health and safety, such as:
-
Habitat restoration directly related to wildlife-dependent recreation, including hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, and photography.
-
Law enforcement related to public use and recreation
-
Direct operating or capital costs associated with the recreation fee program to pay for entrance station and campground staff
-
Fee management agreements with gateway communities to provide emergency medical services
