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
