Protesters object to
new trail-fee system
The Associated Press
BEND — In the melting snow
of Mount Bachelor, activists
painted a 300-foot dollar sign
with green food coloring to
protest a trail-fee system ap
proved for federal lands.
The snow-painting was part of
a rally Sunday by 50 people from
the Wild Wilderness organiza
tion, which believes the Forest
Service and other federal agen
cies, in partnership with some
corporations, intend to make
people pay to enjoy the woods.
The fees, approved for federal
lands in 1996, now cover hun
dreds of trailheads and other
recreation spots across the coun
try. Federal officials say the mon
ey helps maintain and improve
related recreational facilities.
Protest organizer Scott Silver
of Bend said the fees are the first
step in a corporate-driven
scheme to accustom the public to
paying for the great outdoors.
The ultimate aim, he said, is to
allow corporations to develop
and operate recreational facilities
on federal land, essentially turn
ing campgrounds into mini-re
sorts.
“The Forest Service now
speaks of recreation as a prod
uct,” he told the sign-carrying
crowd. “We are no longer own
ers. We’re customers.”
But Federal officials say the
fees, generally $3 for a day of hik
ing, are needed to boost recre
ation budgets. The trial trail-fee
system, due to expire after next
season if Congress does not ex
tend it, is supposed to return 80
percent of the money collected to
the agency for use on recreation
facilities.
Terri Gates, spokeswoman for
the Deschutes National Forest,
said her forest is able to spend
about $120,000 more this year for
trail maintenance and other pro
jects because of fees collected last
season. The forest has used the
money to reroute four trails, re
build four pedestrian bridges, in
stall about 1,200 water bars to
combat trail erosion, and remove
hazardous trees from trailheads.
“We were able to do an awful
lot of stuff with the trail-fee
funds,” she said.
Some rally participants said
the fiscal argument is just a
smoke screen.
The Forest Service, Silver said,
no longer sees itself as a timber,
mining and grazing agency, but
as a seller of recreation.
“Understand, the Forest Ser
vice is desperate for a new busi
ness,” he said. “It’s going to be
industrial-strength recreation.”

When asked about the
college experience, Eva said
her classmates are nice, and
she has a good professor,
Nancy Iwakawa. Eva said
that being the young one on
campus hasn’t affected her.
“It’s really not that big of a
deal,” Eva said. “Everybody
knows that I’m younger. ”
“It’s OK, I just wish I had a
little more free time,” she said
about her summer school
experience. Otherwise she’d
just be “hanging out.”
Eva said she is looking
forward to taking her Japan
ese knowledge into the
world and doing something
great with it. At such a
young age, Eva is finding a
niche. And so far Eva said
she’s enjoying it.
Walking with her father
across campus, Eva an
nounced she still has more
goals to conquer.
“I’m going to learn guitar
now,” she said with agiggle.
