The Mt. Hood Travel Plan is the perfect opportunity for the Forest Service to improve recreational access on Mt. Hood – help us tell them what you want

Bark’s Roadtruthing Campaign is identifying ecologically harmful roads for the Forest Service to remove during the Mt. Hood Travel Plan. One of the benefits of removing deteriorating roads is that scarce resources can then be focused on improving access to recreation destinations in the forest. Unfortunately, the Forest Service does not have a comprehensive study on where people are going in the forest. If you use Mt. Hood National Forest, you can provide valuable information to this campaign. Have you noticed instances of OHV or other abuse on your recent excursions into the forest? Is the road to one of your favorite recreations sites washed out? Did you get lost and confused due to an inadequately mapped network of open, “closed,” rogue, and “temporary” roads? Bark wants to hear about it! Equally important are the positive experiences you’ve had in the forest. Where was your last breathtaking hike? On which of Mt. Hood’s wild rivers did you catch your last fish? Did visiting Mt. Hood National Forest make you want to move to Oregon? By sharing your stories you will help Bark articulate why preservation and restoration is so important to this region.
