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.

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

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!”

Are you Fing kidding?

Exactly! This awful man should never be allowed to own animals for the rest of his life! Once an abuser, always an abuser. No matter that he is a vet. It doesn't excuse this abusive behavior, especially over tiny dogs!

Lisa York

I don't think he should get his dogs back until a psych eval is done and he's deemed ok to own an animal. I also think that your reporter's continued hounding of him for an interview after he clearly declined was appropriate or professional.
