The Arizona NoFee Coalition is a fully volunteer non-profit organization formed in January of 2000 by concerned citizens in Sedona and Flagstaff. We are dedicated to giving a voice to the common belief that public lands should remain a public entity. Our mission is simple: to end the Recreation Fee Demonstration Program (fee demo) and stop all efforts to make it permanent.



We advocate public funding for the recreation budgets of public land agencies with congressional appropriations of existing tax dollars and congressional oversight for fiscal accountability within public land agencies. That is how public lands were managed for over 200 years, including two World Wars and the Great Depression. Public lands are a national heritage and treasure that we can afford.



We are a diverse group of committed individuals with our members coming from every end of the political, social, and economic spectrum. We have members in more than 20 states.



AZ NoFee Coalition is a single issue group: we take no stand at all on roads, grazing, logging, or any other public land issue. We feel that the Fee Demo issue transcends all the usual arguments. The battle over whether management of our public lands will be driven by how much revenue they generate from recreational users is the most important one facing public lands in our generation.
