Hood River County Commissioners decided to close County forestlands to public recreational use between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. starting on Thursday. County Forester Doug Thiesies had suggested to the Commission to completely close those lands to recreational use, citing high fire danger in combination with concerns about the availability of firefighting resources and a continued high public use of the forestlands. But Commissioners decided to zero in on stopping dispersed camping outside of designated campgrounds. Commissioner Les Perkins said limiting access to day use should make it easier to identify risky situations. Commissioners also discussed motorized vehicles, but Thiesies says the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Regulated Use Closure already limits those to improved roads only.
