ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald February 22, 2019 Baker County has joined fi ve other counties in Eastern Oregon in petitioning the U.S. Department of Agriculture to exempt the Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur national forests from the 2005 Travel Management Rule. That’s the rule that could lead the Forest Service to ban- ning motor vehicles from thousands of miles of roads on the two national forests, a possibility that has prompted widespread protests in Baker County over the past de- cade. Baker County commissioners voted Wednesday to join the petition. The document is scheduled to be hand delivered to fed- eral offi cials on March 2 in Washington, D.C. The other fi ve counties listed on the petition are Union, Harney, Grant, Malheur and Wallowa. The Forest Service is an agency of the Agriculture Department.
