Starting Monday, the Deschutes National Forest’s Bend office will be changing its weekly hours to comply with the rest of the district.

Beginning Monday, Deschutes National Forest Service’s Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District and the forest supervisor’s office, which are located at 63095 Deschutes Market Rd. in Bend, will open at 8 a.m. and close at 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday, the same hours as other district offices in the Deschutes National Forest.

Jean Nelson-Dean, public affairs officer for the Deschutes National Forest, said the office had previously opened at 7:45 a.m. and closed at 4:25 p.m., which she said made scheduling a challenge at times.

Additionally, the Cascade Lakes Welcome Station, at 18390 Century Dr. in Bend, is now open on weekends from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Beginning on May 30, it will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
