Anderson, CA— Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) is reopening its California forestlands to recreation, effective Fri., Nov. 1. Closures will remain in place on SPI forestlands in the vicinity of the recent wildfires to ensure the safety of the public and crews working to recover, restore and reforest the lands impacted by those fires. Closed areas will remain posted with signs, and gates will remain locked.

SPI’s public access policy allows for use of most of the company’s California forestlands for hunting and other recreational activities. Among other restrictions, overnight camping, campfires, and smoking are prohibited. Motorized use in many areas is restricted for resource protection and public safety concerns. In addition to the wildfire-related closures, other areas will be posted closed for active operations, existing leases, wildlife protection and other considerations.
