HEBO RANGER DISTRICT DECIDES
NOT TO PROCEED. WITH THREE
RIVERS ROAD CLOSURE PROPOSAL
The Hebo Ranger District of the Siuslaw National
Forest has decided not to proceed with any further
planning on the Three Rivers Basin road closure
proposal.
During a public comment period, 145 people expressed
their opinions on the proposal. In total, 83 responses
were opposed to the closure, 59 in favor and three were
judged to be neutral.
"This course of action is based on careful consideration
of the input received from the public, as well as some
practical considerations regarding the time and energy it
would take to try and bring the opposing sides of the
issue together," according to letter from District Ranger
E.F. Oram.
The Ranger District received 38 responses from mem
bers of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde.
Earlier in the year, members of the Tribal Council and
Fish and Wildlife Committee attended an open house
and met with Ranger District personnel about the
proposal since the Three Rivers Basin lies within the
Task Management Unit and the road closures could
affect tribal hunting privileges, especially for elders who
rely on the area for subsistence hunting.
The Three Rivers Basin area was being considered
because it is a popular hunting area, elk numbers area
