Recreation mobile app launched The Pacific Northwest Region of the USDA Forest Service has announced the launch of a new region- wide recreation mobile app: the Pacific Northwest Forests app. The special- ized software program will help the public find hiking trails, camping, picnicking, boating areas and more by using their cell phones’ GPS capabilities. National Forests in the Pacific Northwest receive over 15 million visits each year and recreation users contribute hundreds of mil- lions of dollars to the local economies of both Oregon and Washington annually. According to Regional For- ester, Jim Peña, the Forest Service is focused on pro- viding great visitor experi- ences in partnership with these local communities. “This mobile app is one of many ways we are trying to do our part to be good neigh- bors and sup- port both the communities we serve and the recreation users who vis- it,” said Peña. “ We h e a r d people want more mobile- friendly ways of getting their hiking, camp- ing and other recreation information and this app delivers just that.” This mobile app allows visitors to easily discover recreational opportunities near them and serves as a complement to the Forest Service’s traditional web- June 12, 14, 19 and 21 at Heppner High School 6-9 pm Field Day June 23 at Lexington Gun Club Instructors: Jim & Darlene Marquart For more info: 541-969-4845 A View from the Green site by providing a new way of connecting people to the outdoors. T h e news release states that improving access to recreation opportuni- ties and pro- viding great customer service are top priorities for the For- est Service. According to Chris Bentley, Digital Me- dia Specialist for the Pacific Northwest Region, nearly half of the people using the Forest Service website are visiting on mobile devices. Having all the recreation information in one conve- nient place helps meet both priorities. The first of its kind on this scale in the agency, the mobile app is centered on a mapping interface that helps adventurers become more familiar with recre- ation opportunities near them by providing informa- tion about the 17 national forests and scenic area in the Pacific Northwest. Having all the recre- ation information within a single app means just one download instead of an individual app for every national forest people are interested in visiting. “That’s one of the major reasons why providing our region-wide recreational in- formation in a mobile app is so important,” said Bentley. “Many of our forests are adjacent to one another and our visitors shouldn’t have SURPLUS AUCTION The following list of City of Heppner Public Works surplus items is available by sealed bid auction 1989 John Deer 210 Backhoe - does not run, has hydraulic issue, you Items can be viewed haul.
