Beginning December 1, winter wildlife closures will take effect across the for- est. There are four winter wildlife closure areas on the Deschutes National Forest 4 Cabin/Silver Lake, Metolius Wi n t e r R a n g e , O p i n e Travel Management Area and Tumalo Winter Range. Motorized vehicles (includ- ing snowmobiles and electric bicycles) are prohibited in the closure areas to protect deer and elk during the winter. These protected areas usu- ally have minimal amounts of snow cover and provide vege- tation for forage, hiding cover and protection from weather. The public is reminded to be cautious when driv- ing on all forest roads in the winter months. Not all roads will be gated, and those that are blocked by snow or water should be considered impass- able for public safety as well as the protection of natural resources. Take all precau- tions as weather and road conditions can change rap- idly. Be prepared for winter driving, limited sight distance and bumpy driving on all Forest Service roads. Bring extra clothing, food, water, blankets, first aid kit, shovel and tire chains. Let someone know your destination and expected day/time of return. Hope for a child. Change for a nation.
