It's public land. No profit should be made off their lumber, despite the fact that these trees were harmed. No one meant to; mistakes happen. Let nature take its course - or donate the usable firewood. Show Less

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.

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.

Would you like to see the sale of public lands to help with the federal budget deficit?

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
