Horse Riding and Camping

To help reduce invasive species on national forest lands the U.S. Forest Service requires the use of weed-free feed within the Pacific Northwest.  This includes the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument.

Weed-free feed includes commercially processed pellets, steamed and rolled grains, or state certified weed-free feed. More information on weed-free feed.
