The Divide Ranger District of the Rio Grande National Forest has announced the immediate closing of its Creede office. The early closure is needed to prepare for renovations.
“We had a fantastic year at the Creede office, highlighted by valuable engagements with both visitors and locals alike,” said Divide District Ranger Patrick Moran. “Our planned renovations will begin soon, and it would not be prudent to keep our doors open to the public while the work is being implemented. We look forward to next spring when we can resume our information services and education programs.”
Improvements to the office will include window replacements, electrical upgrades, exterior painting and repairs, and other improvements.
To obtain firewood permits, woodcutters will now need to visit the Divide Ranger Station in Del Norte during regular business hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
