We're loving the wilderness to death and something needs to be done about overuse and trashing special places!

It is the same old thing, a few spoil it for the many. As we allow more people to move into our area the more trash and crime come along with them. There is less respect for everything lately.

Steve Scarich

Something needs to be done to re-distribute the volume to specific trailheads. I would rather have seen the FS actively encourage users to head to other sites, though.

Go after the folks who trash the wilderness but don't limit the numbers of those who respect the land and follow the rules!

Just another sign that Bend, (CO) is changing for the worst. Bend spent years trying to get people to move here, well...they got their wish.

Again Dem's punish the one's who repect the land.

Terry Whitted

I love our wilderness. I don't want the government restricting my access.

More passes, rules, regulations, and reservations are making it harder to go out on a hike or head out, hiking/camping, on a whim. A permit/reservation is making spontaneity a thing of the past

Do you think Amazon moving in is a positive for Central Oregon?

You can grow or you can die. If parents want their children to grow up and to live here we need growth to do that. Good jobs! Next we need to get the cost of housing here down so people who grow up here can afford to buy homes here!

I love that it will bring more jobs, and no longer waiting 1-2 weeks for delivery

Ron Rommel

We need it for getting products quicker to everyone!👍

Mayor Fitz has already indicated there’s a water issue so why are we bringing a huge business into Redmond without a resolution first? There’s also a huge traffic consideration that needs to be addressed.

I want my house to burn to the ground like it did back when Bend wasn't woke. /s
