Organizations Filed Purposes:
National Forest Homeowners is a member-directed organization representing cabin-owner recreation residence permittees in our national forests. NFH provides leadership, member information, assistance and advocacy for the continuation of all recreational residences.
Established over 100 years ago in 1915, the National Forest cabin program is one of the oldest public recreation programs in our National Forests. In a unique public-private partnership, permitees own these small cabins in the woods, but the ground beneath is still part of the National Forest system. The revenue received from annual permit fees goes into the US Treasury as fair value for the use of the land.
In 2018, NFH held two educational events, one in Sacramento, CA and one in Tuscon, AZ including topics on emergency communications, fire readiness, fire research, youth activities, in the National Forests, as well as permit and cabin ownership education.
To communicate and build our membership numbers with other forest users. We will continue to support the USDA Forest Service with the implementation of the Cabin Fee Act. NFH is also looking at access-related issues, drought and water challenges, local taxation, historic preservation opportunities and always, the preservation of our heritage recreation program. Our events and communications will include topics including forest planning, fire preparation and funding, recreation interests and news from our cabins in the National Forests. The NFH 2018 regional forums and national conference will further build our community of cabin owners, as well as our relationships with forest staff. Looking out for policy affecting our recreation values and sustainable forest stewardship.
