What is an Administrative Pass?

National Forests are managed for multiple use. We realize that people may visit their public lands for purposes other than recreation. For that reason, we have implemented an "administrative pass" program for educational groups, volunteers and others conducting business who may be in the forest. Administrative passes are issued free for convenience purposes. They must be requested through the Forest Service office where you plan to visit. Administrative Passes are also issued to Native Americans for the conduct of traditional cultural and religious activities, and to persons conducting mining and prospecting activities. Due to the special requirements applicants must meet, Administrative passes for exempt activities are only issued at local Forest and Ranger District offices.

Want to know how to get this pass. For the past few days I have been trying to talk with someone in the Angles nation forest. Mainly, San Gabriel National Forest.

With great success this is what I have found.

If you own and active claim in any of the National Forest boundaries, and you are planning to work that claim.

The national forest service will issue you and only you an Administrative pass for one year.

Now I ask, if you belong to say, the GPAA , which have a few claims in the Big Bear area(Holcomb valley) as a member of that group, can I then get a Administration pass. Answer: unless you can give them a claim registry with your name on it. NO you will get that pass.

So if you have an Active Claim in the National Forest boundary or your club has one you could easily get this FREE pass for one year.

But your name has to be on the Certificate of owner ship first!!

Well I tried.. Confused
