With a fee on the line, it'll either deter people from visiting wilderness areas or keep them more accountable for preserving that land.

We have permits for national park visitation, so I don't see why permits shouldn't be used for wilderness areas too.

All this does is create more income for the Forest Service. It's public land for a reason.

DO NOT TAKE AWAY THE CHANCE FOR LOW INCOME PEOPLE TO SEE OUR WILDERNESS!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GODS LANDS TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF!!!

Paul Owen

Open the pulloffs that have been blocked instead of making everyone go to one parking area. We used to be able to pull onto side roads untill they were blocked by rocks

Deborah McKeever

It would just tell people that only people with money can enjoy public lands.

Mindy Whaley Fritzie

Enjoy the outdoors our tax dollars already pay as well logging will now help costs of road maintenance forrest health thinning culls. Rangers Educate

Lani Shobe

Young families can not always afford fees. And those are the very ones who benefit most.

Terry Whitted

We the people own these lands. They should not be restricted access in any way.

Kim Howe Hughes

Not that I don't agree with them, but I feel folks willing to pay, will pay. Those who don't agree with them will just hike anyway and risk being fined. More Forest Service staff will need to increase

Sandra Kennel

The way to limit crouds to to stop promoting Bend. Just look at the ads, “come enjoy our great outdoors and Wilderness areas!”

I see kids riding them all over Redmond . North end near Elton middle school and around Rimrock. Someone’s going to be hurt .

Barb Burns

There are 3 in the Redmond dry canyon almost every night.

John Sutton

There here in redmond also. I've seen them by Fred Meyer and the shopping center next to the Redmond high school.

Yes, and they are being ridden by young people. They should be cited by the Police for not being street legal vehicles.

Abso-friggin'-lutely!!! Bs don't pay their fair share due to tax loopholes and because they mostly acquire their enormous wealth thru investments that are NOT taxed, like income is for us peons. They also can pass their wealth on to heirs and there is no inheritance tax either.
