KILKENNY — The U.S. Forest Service considers the Rainbow Family of Living Life gathering in the White Mountain National Forest the first week in July an “unauthorized group use incident” but its current focus is working with the group to protect the forest and public.
Forest Service Public Information Officer Hilary Markin said groups with over 75 people are required to get special use permits before hosting events on the National Forest. She said the Rainbow Family falls into the non-commercial category but the group has never applied for such a permit and has not done so this year.
