Hancock Forest lands reopen for day use
LA GRANDE — Han-
cock Forest Management
lands in Northeast Oregon
are reopened to day use
only as of Tuesday, Aug.
24, as fi re restrictions have
eased slightly in Northeast
Oregon.
Motorized
vehicles
are allowed only on main
rocked roads without veg-
etation outside of travel
management areas.
Hancock lands in North-
eastern Oregon had closed
in July due to extreme fi re
danger. The change applies
to Hancock properties in
the Shamrock, Whiskey
Creek, Noregaard, Little
Catherine Creek, Meacham
travel management areas
and any other Hancock
properties enrolled in the
A&H program in North-
east Oregon.
With this year’s extreme
fi re
danger,
hunters,
anglers and others heading
outdoors are reminded to
“know before you go” and
check for access restric-
tions due to fi re danger.
Usually, smoking and off -
road driving is prohib-
ited; vehicles are required
to carry a gallon of water
or fully charged 2.5 pound
fi re
extinguisher
and
shovel when off state high-
way or county roads, and
campfi res are prohibited or
restricted.
The Oregon Depart-
ment of Forestry public fi re
restrictions map is a good
source of info, https://gis-
apps.odf.oregon.gov/Fir-
erestrictions/PFR.html or
check with the land man-
ager where you are headed.
