FRIDAY, OCT. 5 First Friday • 6-9 p.m., downtown John Day This month’s event features the “Great Pumpkin Hunt.” A7 Wednesday, September 26, 2018 Malheur National Forest officials are scheduled to be- gin cabin removal activities on National Forest System lands adjacent to Highway 7 just east of Austin Junction this week. The cabin and associ- ated outbuildings were au- thorized under a special use permit to Betty Jane Morris, according to a Forest Service press release. The permit terminat- ed in 2015 with her pass- ing. Per the authorization’s terms, upon termination of the permit, the permittee is required to remove any improvements and restore the site. If the permittee does not complete these actions within a reasonable time, the improvements become the property of the United States. The time period has passed, the United States has taken possession of the cabin and associated outbuildings and is proceeding with re- moval activities. These improvements are the remaining of a group of three special use authoriza- tions issued in the late 1960s and early 1970s for use of a cabin site or yearlong resi- dence on the Malheur Na- tional Forest as a result of a land exchange with Oregon Lumber Company. The other two cabin sites were restored in 2009. After the building remov- al work has been completed, areas of disturbance will be rehabbed and planted with native grasses. There is an additional house located near the cabin site located on state land and will not be removed as part of the Forest Service project. For more information on the removal project, please contact Teresa Dixon at 541- 575-3133. Additional information about the Malheur National Forest is available at fs.usda. gov/malheur.
