TRIANGLE, Va. -- Sequestration has come to Prince William Forest Park, and park visitors will soon notice some changes.
Between now and and the end of the park's fiscal year on September 30, park officials said popular events like weekly campfire talks, Paws in the Park, Petrified Forest, and National Trails Day will all be eliminated for  this summer. There will also be a reduction in the size and scope of the park’s Heritage Festival, a press release states.
Education programs like wildflower and wildlife talks, park rangers attending events at local schools, and group service projects with Boys and Girls scouts will be cut. Restrooms at the park will also be closed – at one of two at the Oak Ridge Campground, two at the Pine Grove Picnic Area, and the Telegraph Picnic area restroom will remain closed unless it has been rented out by a group, a press release states.
