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!”

The state refused to keep people and businesses safe. Someone needed to step in.

They have the right to demonstrate but they do not have the right to damage or destroy. Apparently local enforcement couldn't handle it. Stop it asap

Carol Garside

They are domestic terrorists, need to be stopped at any cost

Trump is agitating the situation. If Gov Newsom had thought it necessary he would have called them in. It was not Trump’s decision to make. Trump is merely trying to take over California because it is a mainly democratic state and he considers its citizens enemies

Ron Rommel

President Trump is escalating the issue.

Jeff Sanders

He's mad because California has never voted for him. Dictators do what Dictators do.
