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.

Robert Mckheen

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

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Yes, and do some more logging and cleaning the forest

Oakley Taylor

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Oakley Taylor

Bravo!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Oakley Taylor

True dat.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

Yay to you!

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

Oakley Taylor

So true.
