Let people cut it up for fire wood! So many couldn't get wood because of the fire danger and cutting was closed. I for one do not have enough wood to last the winter.

Len Parsons

And let people cut them up for firewood

Sell the lumber.

They're dying and hazardous to drivers, so why not remove the lumber and put it to good use?

HELP PEOPLE BY SELLING IT CHEAPER THAN MOST THAT JUST MONEY HUNGRY!!! $25 A CORD WOULD HELP A LOT OF SENIORS ON S.S. THAT HAVE TO LIVE DAY BY DAY TO SURVIVE!!!

Robert Keepers

Give the wood to poor

Ka San

I agree with Leslie. Donate the wood to people who may not be able to afford to buy it.

Leslie Ann

Not sell but donate to those who need to heat with wood.

Gramma Jean

Let private firewood companies come there to clean it up, then sell it.

Leaving it that provides more fuel for future fires. The profits from selling the lumber will help the industry and provide jobs and funds for reforestation projects or upgrades to the rec areas.

Matthew Carter

What's the point of leaving a bunch of dead trees along the road that ODOT (or whom ever) killed??? I get trees are natural but their demise was not.

GT Thomas

Duh do you really have to ask why we should not waste wood.

Richard Dillard

I would hate to see these trees go to waste and the forest service could put the money to good use

Mou Chat Reed

Use them for heavens sake.

Duane Oakes

I would not sell the lumber. what I would like to see is the lumber milled into post and other timbers to use on our roads and hwys. This lumber could be used for guardrails and signage along Oregon.

Karen Rickard Smith

firewood maybe???

Sharon Catania

Do not leave them there, but do not cut them down for selling, either. They have been sprayed with herbicide, so if someone were to burn them as firewood, it would be a risk to health.

Sabrina Anne Tanned

This is obvious, right?

Michael Stream

Sell it off to highest bidder. Use funds to restore other forest areas. This also gets it all cleaned up to help in avoiding more forest fires.

Teri Williams

Sell the lumber....need to open our forests to timber sales and clean up the mess.

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Dave

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
