Can the Forest Service use partnerships with Camp Owens and correctional facilities for maintenance of facilities along the river and the lake?
Yes, partnerships with organizations and other government agencies are welcome and are an important part of the program of work for all developed recreation sites. For many years Camp Owens participated in partnership agreements with the Forest Service. Project Clean River- groups or individuals can adopt a section of the river or an individual site. Rotary Club built an wheelchair accessible site at Headquarters Campground. Several days each year groups organize to hold river cleanup events. The river rangers organize a clean-up event every year with the whitewater outfitter/guides to clean up campsites along the Forks of the Kern.
