COVELO, Calif. — District Ranger Frank Aebly announced Tuesday that although the Covelo Ranger District office remains temporarily closed to the public, all possible hiring alternatives are being pursued to reopen the office as quickly as possible.

“We understand the impact to the community that even a temporary closure can bring,” Aebly said. “Hiring challenges across the region have led to a lack of sufficient staff capacity at many individual units, including Covelo.”

He added, “We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this staffing issue in Covelo.”

The public will be notified as soon as the customer service position is filled and the office is reopened.

If you have any questions, please contact District Ranger Aebly at 707-275-1401.
