Help Make Recreation a Priority in Jackson Demonstration State Forest

I live in Caspar near JDSF. I hike and collect mushrooms in the forest. The logging planned will destroy most recreation and greatly diminish the tourism on which this county survives. The forest is public land and the public should be able to access and enjoy it.

ENOUGH ALREADY! If Our Mandate is to see how Healthy & Carbon rich, vital & Robust this FOREST can be: aim for 7 generations, Let's begin to think like we expect to have a FUTURE. now!

Adjacent to Jackson State Forest home owner and vacation rental manager. Please change the logging endeavor to public and recreation use. Mountain biker, horse lovers, and hikers use and enjoy the Jackson State Forest. Mountain bike companies sell bike tours with accommodations to riders who come from all over the state to experience the wine, waves, and wilderness Mendocino Co. has to offer and they are willing to pay for it. Less is more in this case. Less logging, more tourism.

I have lived in East Caspar for 51 years. The forest has gone through many transformations. Please do not log or decimate our public forest and please do not pollute our steams. Please respect our mountain biking trails, our hiking trails, and the serenity of the forest.

Keep public lands public!

Please preserve this!

Please preserve our Jackson Demo forest! A vital part of tourism and our local community. Logging takes years to re-grow!!! Thank you for doing the right thing for our present and future communities. Elizabeth Morton

Please preserve our Jackson Demo forest for the short and long term. It is a vital part of recreation in this area and is used by both locals and tourists. Please do the right thing and find another way; the hiking and biking trails are an integral part of our community and are a big part of what draws tourists to Mendocino. Elizabeth Anne Morton

Public Lands are held for the public trust.The area has a long history of industrial logging activity, which began in 1862 and continued under private ownership until the State's purchase of the property in 1947. Adjacent areas are undergoing increased development and JSDF must be maintained for low impact recreational activities, and to protect this watershed as a wild habitat connection to other watersheds for the species that live here.

We need to protect our natural sources of tranquility, healing, and enjoyment.

Please protect all the forests for hiking, mountain biking. nature study and more. Recreation is basic and tourism helps support our economy. Thanks.

These are some of my favorites. We would be sad to see them go. We will help to keep them.

I support maintaining and increasing recreational opportunities in and around the Jackson Demo forest

This is so important for recreational purposes.

Love my trips to Mendocino to enjoy the fabulous old growth forests. The public access to trails and the natural beauty must be preserved!

This very special place is best, and most economically advantageously, used in recreation to enhance the community tourism and well being.

Please preserve our wild lands for all future generations.

Please consider adding recreation to Jackson Demo forest’s mandate. It is an economically superior approach and sustainable in the long term.
