Group dedicated to keeping forest roads open to have Heppner workshop A group calling itself “Forest Access For All” has scheduled a workshop in Heppner to help people to give comment on the new U.S. Forest Service plan they say will close hundreds of miles of forest roads to motorized access. The workshop will be held Saturday, June 28, at 5:30 p.m. at the United Met hodi s t Chur ch in Heppner. The group says key items to be aware of under the new forest plan are: A) Designated Routes i) Gives policy direction to only give permission to travel down roads the U.S. Forest Service deems allowable or a “closed unless marked open” policy. ii) You will only be allowed have motorized access in areas or routes allowed by the U.S. Forest Service, which means no motorized use off of “designated routes," better known as the “keep off the grass rule.” B) Has identified 90 to 105 miles of roads be decommissioned or obliterated per year for 10 to 15 years until the next forest plan revision. C) Targets minimal to no motorized access in elk foraging areas. D) Calls for 90,000 acres of new wilderness and an additional 250,000 acres of “backcountry” access areas that will be severely restricting to motorized access or will not allow motorized access altogether as defacto wilderness. E) Claims the primary use for water coming from the Blue Mountains to be for fish habitat above and beyond all other uses. According to the group's website. Forest Access For All (FAFA) is currently working to assist citizens across Eastern Oregon with commenting on these concerns as well as many others. “If you believe our forest should be left an open forest access system and that we should be able to access our lands as needed, attend FAFA’s workshop meeting June 28. Contact FAFA keepitopen@ fo restaccessfo rall.o rg , www.forestaccessforall. org or call us at (844) 523- 2323.” Locals show well at CBSGA Condon Twenty-seven senior golfers from Willow Creek Country Club played in the Columbia - Blue Senior Golf Association on June 9 at the par 70 Condon Golf Course.
