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!”

Obviously, if kids who shouldn't be riding these bikes cannot ride them to school, that represents hours of the day that they won't be on them, being reckless, violating basic rules of the road, and putting lives, including theirs, in danger.

Cause THEY ARE ALWAYS LATE🤬

Loy Helmly

Missed glad recycling pickup twice.

Rick Allen

We do not even have any recycling in my area, no cardboard, no glass, no nothing!!!

Jacob Wilton

I have a business literally across the street from their office/dump location and still get consistently missed on recycling. I have been missed regularly on garbage as well. The city has the ability to pull their contract if this continues.

Kathi McDonald

I live in Crook County. We went a whole month without recycle pick up. The service is always on FB because of inconsistent service. We went two weeks with no garbage pickup. It's like this all over the city as well as out of city limits! VERY FRUSTRATING when you're paying for a service!

LOL. In Crooked River Ranch - we don't know what 'recycling' is. The garbage company totally did away with it. So - I feel no sympathy for some of you who have 'delays'.

Mark Mueller

Unfortunately we don't have curbsid pickup in rural Deschutes Co. Garbage PU has been good since its been Republic.

Dave Leverick

I have never had a problem with cascade disposal If there is a problem they notify by email and phone
