Your Fee Dollars at Work

Your Fee Dollars Matter

Thank you for supporting your public lands. The National Park Service collects Recreation Fees under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA), providing a vital source of revenue for improving facilities and services for park visitors. Here at Walnut Canyon National Monument, 100% of the fee dollars collected are used to support the park. This means that the money you hand to the ranger in the entrance station is being put to excellent use here at Walnut Canyon! All of these projects are important to the continued preservation of your National Parks.
