The Bureau of Land Management, in conjunction with other agencies within the Department of the Interior, will waive recreation-related fees for visitors to the National System of Public Lands on four occasions in 2015 -- Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (Jan. 19), Presidents Day weekend (Feb. 14-16), National Public Lands Day (Sept. 26), and Veterans Day (Nov. 11).
"Arizonans have long recognized the value of open space, and beauty of the public lands. This provides a great opportunity to explore and enjoy your public lands." said BLM Arizona State Director Raymond Suazo.
