Expand wilderness area boundaries, and ban all motorized vehicles except on designated highways.

Stop burning our forest. Nature takes care of it self better. You are robbing animals of their homes and food and causing health problems for peolpe by burning every year .

Greenery holds moisture. Burning dreis everyrhing out, increasing fire danger. I've lived here my entire life, fires incearesed after agencies started burning our forest every year. ( to prevent fires)

This is a loaded question. If it means clearing out sick trees and fuels, creating fire breaks and logging and replanting, then yes. If it’s a hands off, nature takes its course method with massive fires burning out of control then no. Define what “protection” means.

This is where people who burn fire wood come into play. The forest service, blm need to allow for that and stop restricting areas for people to go get the wood for heating.

Not by climate activists, their agenda in UN American and controlling. China is pouring millions of dollars to Climate activists to make us more dependent on then, and much weaker without Fossil fuels.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
