It is important that 8/2/2017 5:50 PM the forest stays green and very important that the road is maintained by dnr as it is mainly on their acreage as the landowners had to pay a fee to the previous owners and are grandfathered in. The road is bad as anyone can drive on it before the gate and there are some spots after the gate that are bad. As tax payers we would like to see this fixed as you fixed the Teanaway road and Indian camp plus the Teanaway campground where they camp for free. 338 second home 8/2/2017 5:05 PM

Impacts from dirt bikes in the Manastash, Taneum and Liberty areas should be recognized and addressed before considering whether to allow new motorized access in the Teanaway

49 I can say that I do not enjoy hiking on motorized trails that are torn up. 8/8/2017 5:36 PM
50 I object to the use of motorized vehicles in the TCF. It has never been allowed when forest was in 8/8/2017 4:16 PM private hands and such use would be damaging, a fire hazard and hard to control.

67 I do not ride motorcycles, so extensive trails for motorized use are not something I would like to 8/3/2017 2:20 PM see. But I have a friend in a wheelchair who would like to have access to a fishing opportunity on the Teanaway. Easy parking and an easy wheelchair trail down to the shore. A short loop or shoreline trail for wheelchair users or folks with limited mobility would be so great!! Also for families with young children who really can't hike very far.

They have other already 7/25/2017 11:09 AM ruined areas to make noise in. Motorcycles are dangers for horses and hikers. If allowed in- I will take my dollars-spent in kittitas CO- and spend them elsewhere. 128 Allowed every where if you don't get caught. 7/25/2017 9:10 AM 129 do not allow additional motorcycle areas and restrict some of the current areas to seasonal use 7/25/2017 8:39 AM based on wildlife needs 130 Connections to the towns of Cle Elum, Rosyln and Ronald are important! 7/25/2017 8:37 AM 131 please keep motorcycles out of the forest or restrict their use.

62 I love the free camping opportunities in this area. I think they should remain available as long as 8/12/2017 4:26 PM people are able to keep them clean and not trample the surrounding land.
63 the campgrounds are great the way they are. many families have been using them for decades. 8/11/2017 10:20 AM Don't allow reservations, or designated-only parking. People who go there love the experience. 64 NO CAMP HOSTS - LESS people = BETTER, NO FEE BASED OR DESIGNATED CAMPSITES 8/10/2017 12:08 PM 65 It's perfect now! 8/9/2017 10:18 AM 66 Motorized access to all of the areas we have enjoyed for years when the Private Land Owners 8/9/2017 8:16 AM allowed open access and welcomed our work parties, including trai maintenance and enhancement! 67 I chose restroom facilities because people are pigs anymore ... they crap everywhere, don't bury, 8/8/2017 7:56 PM leave garbage. However, I really don't want a permit system that only allows pay access with neighbors nearby. 68 Please leave it as wild as you can. Camp hosts and toilets are great. Fancy signs and blacktop just 8/8/2017 7:03 PM make the Teanaway into an extension of the city.

I do think some of the "roads" that have been blocked off was a good decision. I hope that it never gets over-improved to the point that it is all designated and limited. I think that now that horses are allowed, in their designated area, that there should be an additional gate at the East end that provides river access that is separate from the people access.

2 I hunt turkey in the teanaway. If people knew where to go hunting based on signs and not many 8/24/2017 11:19 AM weekends of scouting, my spots would be taken my hours of work would be wasted.

# RESPONSES DATE 1 Please allow motorized use. There is a high call for it and it seems to be ignored by many groups 8/24/2017 4:16 PM involved in this planning. You do have motorized trails now, lets improve on them and give everyone a chance to recreate in the manner they choose not the manner groups choose for us. Thanks. 2 Glad to see there are steps being taken to improve the forest; I just hope this somewhat secretive 8/24/2017 3:39 PM area doesn't get too well known/overrun with people when improvements come. 3 Provide an opportunity for prisoners to work out there on the chain gang to improve areas. Hard 8/24/2017 1:52 PM work gets done and those that volunteer get to provide something back to the community. 4 I strongly prefer to spend time in nature *without* motorized vehicles around. I'd like to maintain a 8/24/2017 12:43 PM trail system with limited use for motorized vehicles.
5 I don't see why the area cannot be left as it is. There is a good amount of hiking trails and a good 8/24/2017 12:28 PM amount of ORV area. Camping is somewhat primitive and should stay that way. The only to add would be to provide some type of Community Calendar - I have been up there on my endure on designated ORV trails only to find out there is some type of major cross county running event happening on the trail system. Had I known that in advance, I would have chosen a different trail system - I don't like trying to ride around runners as much they don't want me riding around them. Likewise if there is an ORV 'Poker-Run' I don't want to take my kids hiking on that specific trail system. I believe there is enough overall area for all types of uses, but a 'volunteer' public calendar of events would be a great planning tool.
6 keep it wild. Not an extension of suncaida! 8/24/2017 11:19 AM
7 The Community Forest is a special place and the direct result of the Yakima Basin Integrated Plan. 8/24/2017 11:01 AM Collaboration and compromise led to the creation of the Community Forest for conservation purposes. Therefore, recreation should be well-managed to reduce impact on the land and water. Motorized recreation should be limited or not allowed.
8 The area should be maintained as it was previously limiting motorized access. There already 8/24/2017 9:38 AM exists extensive motorized recreation areas South of I-90 and in the National Forest. Roads must be gated and seasonal closures applied and enforced to protect the area from motorized damage. The local community will benefit by keeping the area protected, quiet, and pristine with careful consideration to developed campground facilities and trails. There is a real need for more non- motorized winter recreation trails and parking separate from the motorized sno-parks that currently exist. 9 Best thing for everybody 8/24/2017 5:59 AM 10 We love the teanaway forest and all the great things it offers our family 8/23/2017 11:43 PM 11 The Teanaway is a treasured beauty in the Cascades. Thank you for this survey and your 8/23/2017 9:49 PM willingness to hear all opinions. I'm not a motorized recreationalist and don't want to see motorized recreation or bikes in the Ingalls Lake Basin or near Mt Stuart. But hope that you can find good play areas outside the Ingalls Basin for motorized folks. 12 We need more motorized access. Under state law it is required. RCW 79.10.100. and RCW 8/23/2017 8:01 PM 79.10.120 13 We love this area for hiking and picking mushrooms. My husband and I are very active in two 8/23/2017 7:30 PM different mushroom clubs. We hope that this area will be open for picking in the future.
14 Since this is now public land,I as a disabled person and a 4x4 owner, would like the Teanaway to 8/23/2017 6:48 PM have some 4x4 offroad trails designated with the level of difficulty displayed.The National Forest Service has them. It is vitally important that "all" the public is represented,not just hikers! 4x4 owners and disabled people must not be shut out of our "public land"!
90 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
15 I go there yearly to hunt but would enjoy snowmobiling as well. Beautiful country. I would rather 8/23/2017 5:34 PM volunteer closer to my home (Yakima) 16 The state has a great opportunity to follow the National Forest Service in creating a designated 8/23/2017 5:07 PM 4x4 system. there is so much pressure from hiking groups to have their own "private" area to recreate in, but disabled people like myself and others use the "public" land as well. Fair And equal representation of both these groups in this recreation area is vital.I own and use a 4x4 Landcruiser. 17 I believe that loop road systems to accommodate vehicles should be part of the Teanaway Forest. 8/23/2017 4:46 PM Loops systems for motorized vehicle loop systems will allow people with disabilities to be able to enjoy the Teanaway Forest at a basic level. It is interesting that the recreation activities being surveyed do not offer enhanced opportunity in any way to people with a physical disability if they are unable to walk, hike, ride a bike or a horse. Sure a disabled person can have a picnic, but the opportunity to visit high elevation scenic areas is only available to persons who ride a bike, motorcycle, walk or ride a horse. 18 There should be NO motorized bikes or boats allowed 8/23/2017 3:52 PM 19 I like to 4x4i year round. I would like to have an area that we can drive trails or green dot roads to 8/23/2017 2:44 PM drive on during winter months / covered in deep snow that snowmobilers do not groom. 20 Keep these lands open to the public, do not bow to Sierra club type organizations that want to lock 8/23/2017 1:27 PM up more land to designated wilderness areas
21 Value greatly the opportunity to ride my horse in the TCF and camp in dispersed camping areas. 8/23/2017 1:26 PM Please explore the many examples of compatible use for all of us who love the outdoors.
22 It's a beautiful, pristine area, and I would hate to see it developed or overrun with knuckleheads on 8/23/2017 11:41 AM ATV.
23 Thank you for working on this and for the opportunity for us to provide input! 8/23/2017 11:16 AM
24 Motorized trail use is unacceptable. 8/23/2017 11:04 AM
25 I would not like to see any expansion of motorized facilities in the Teamaway. Thank you. 8/23/2017 8:26 AM
26 We desperately need more easy to moderate motorcycle trails. Current trails are only usable by 8/23/2017 8:25 AM very skilled riders and are somewhat dangerous. Many of us locals would gladly help in such moderate trail creation and maintenance.
27 I have recreated in the TCF for 50 years. Most of which was motorized. I see very little change to 8/23/2017 7:28 AM the terrain other than impact from logging operations. In my opinion the area can support ORVs if managed. The trails and roads are already there. I have seen how the DNR at the Capital Forest has managed ORVs and it seems to work. Too bad a few ruin it for me.
28 motorcycles absulutely need their own trails to ruin for themselves. Not compatable with fragile soil 8/23/2017 7:13 AM conditions in the Teanaway.
29 I would be more likely to volunteer knowing that motorized vehicle use would be prohibited in this 8/23/2017 7:00 AM forest 30 I understand the desire of people to access and experience the outdoors . However, that 8/23/2017 5:25 AM experience needs to be weighed relative to how it impacts other users' experience. Motorized use has a place, but MUST be managed more carefully, because it has such an outsized and largely negative impact on the environment and on other users' experience. 31 Please limit motorized activity, or keep it in its own area. 8/23/2017 5:07 AM 32 keep it pristine dont allow motorize use. limit mountain biking and hunting dont allow hunting that 8/22/2017 11:24 PM is going to harm wildlife populations or that bring hunters near to where other uses, like hikers or camper or climber are 33 Please make hiking trails a priority! 8/22/2017 10:17 PM 34 Please, please limit motorized access to areas on the western side of the forest. Prohibit 8/22/2017 9:57 PM motorized access on any roads east of the north fork road. Additional law enforcement would. E appreciated.
35 Recreation in the Teanaway should include motorized recreational opportunities including and not 8/22/2017 8:21 PM limited to ORV's,ATV's snowmobiles, snowbike and motorcycles. 36 The forest should remain open to hunters. 8/22/2017 7:18 PM

37 Thank you. I don't get there often enough to help out or probably mean much for this survey 8/22/2017 6:19 PM 38 Public recreation in all forms should be supported and welcomed. 8/22/2017 6:13 PM 39 Trail signage is important. They should show the trails names and distances to next junction or 8/22/2017 4:57 PM terrain feature/destination. 40 Would like to help as a volunteer. But age and Mother Nature are taking their toll, so I am quite 8/22/2017 3:43 PM limited in what I can do. Energy and strength are low. 41 in regards to motorized use, myself, my family as a landowner, livestock lessee, and a long time 8/22/2017 1:15 PM family user of the teanaway, are totally opposed to opening up this area to motorized use. the people on the committee need to look deeply at the history of motorized use in this area. in the 70's alot of this area was overtaken by motorized and it took a great effort by boise cascade to get it to where it is today. no matter what is said, the user mentality hasn't changed in 40 years. 42 Keep the area fire safe and clean!! 8/22/2017 1:08 PM 43 Really would like nice trails to available rock climbing areas, crags and multi-pitch climbs. 8/22/2017 12:11 PM 44 Please keep motorized recreation OUT of the Teanaway 8/22/2017 11:56 AM 45 Ban motorized access of any kind 8/22/2017 11:48 AM 46 As I've enjoyed the Teanaway Community Forest for hiking and scrambling as it is presently, I 8/22/2017 11:23 AM would very much enjoy seeing it kept to at least the same quality as it is now.
47 Thanks for the opportunity to give feedback here. I camp in the Teanaway 2-3 times a year and 8/22/2017 10:51 AM also visit the area for day hikes and snowshoes. My biggest concerns in the area are litter and human waste i've found in many places. I'm also concerned with unauthorized use on some of the trails. In the winter it would be nice to have a designated area for non-motorized use. Thank you!
48 Existing trails should be considered - in addition to new trail creation - for offroad motorcycle 8/22/2017 9:31 AM usage. The planning of trails should include the expert consultation from motorcycling groups who have e lengthy history of working with the DNR. Examples are the Northwest Motorcycle Association charter clubs currently working with Walker Valley, Tahuya and Capitol state forests. These clubs are Skagit Valley MC, Bremerton Cruisers MC and Tacoma Trail Cruisers MC. Other examples include Yakima Valley Dust Dodgers MC and Tacoma MC. These clubs have an excellent working relationship with the USFS and the Naches Ranger District. 49 Please do not expand motorized vehicle use of the Teanaway Forest. All experience I've had with 8/22/2017 9:25 AM motorized use has been negative - trash, noise and heavily disturbed trails. Thanks.
50 Whenever I visit the area, people who enjoy motorized recreations are usually very nice. However, 8/22/2017 8:22 AM their equipment does dig up the trails and sometime I see muddy tire threads going through right in the middle of meadows. The loud noise of engine also disturbs our experience in the backcountry. I understand that the more people use the trails the more allies we have but I do not see a need of expansion for mortorized recreation in this area.
51 Please keep this pristine and non-motorized for healthy outdoor activity and to protect wildlife 8/22/2017 7:40 AM 52 NO Motors in this area...don't cater to a small minority of users who impact everyone else with 8/22/2017 7:20 AM their noise and trail damage. DO NOT open all trails to bikes, they destroy the trail, destroy the hiker experience, and turn trails into obstacle courses. Separate user groups. 53 we are loosing our wilderness experience areas and there is a high demand on these areas it is 8/22/2017 7:09 AM important to protect them as much as we can. 54 I would love to see deeper access to the forest for equestrians. Would not be opposed to having 8/22/2017 6:37 AM this be a "guide only" for safety reasons. Equestrians need better and safer access to trails (meaning no motorized or mountain bikes) on same access trails. Good day ride opportunities are also badly needed and I would absolutely volunteer to help sustain healthy trails and good conservation practices. I see no mention of dogs. It would be nice to see camping and trail access that allow dogs.
55 I hope that motorized access is limited and that recreation as a whole is limited especially in 8/22/2017 3:42 AM sensitive wildlife areas. 56 Would like to see multi use. All types of recreational opportunities, not to favor one group over 8/21/2017 11:56 PM others.

57 Please consider allowing motorcycle riding to some extent. My family has ridden motorcycles in 8/21/2017 9:28 PM this area for forty years and now it is not allowed. It is part of our heritage to do this together as a family and pass on to younger generations. 58 I've been going up the Teanaway for over 50 years and I'm a property owner. Please protect the 8/21/2017 8:52 PM forest both physically and sound wise by keeping off road vehicles out--totally! 59 Keep things simple and protect the resources. 8/21/2017 8:47 PM 60 Thank you for the wonderful work that you are doing! 8/21/2017 8:35 PM 61 Limit the amount of motor cycle use to keep trails from being damaged. 8/21/2017 7:33 PM 62 It's not a "Community Forest" as long as privately owned cattle degrade and pollute the area. 8/21/2017 7:05 PM 63 Thanks for asking! 8/21/2017 6:43 PM 64 I am a volunteer with Washington Trails Association and I have worked on Teanaway trails 15 8/21/2017 5:32 PM days already and I'll be back for more. 65 The area needs more access for 4wd trails. 4WD clubs do a lot of trail clean-ups and maintenance 8/21/2017 5:21 PM 66 Fully open it up for motorcycle riding please. It's great, family friendly fun. 8/21/2017 5:02 PM 67 Please let public uses be guided by the needs of indigenous flora and fauna. 8/21/2017 3:54 PM 68 Thank you for all your work!! The TCF is truly one-of-a-kind in the very best way. 8/21/2017 3:51 PM
69 Wish I could Visit!! 8/21/2017 3:13 PM
70 I am a tax payer, the forest service is responsible for trail clearing, road maintenance, toilets. Hire 8/21/2017 3:07 PM a third party to take out the trash, which is all the forest service does at MT Saint Helen's, Yes no road maintenance, poor parking areas, and no trail maintenance, But they are darn good at taking out the trash!
71 I would love to see limited cow range access. I primarily come to this area to appreciate the wildlife 8/21/2017 2:42 PM and I hardly ever see places that have not been affected by the cows...
72 Re: #23: I volunteer locally, west of the Cascades. If there was a robust volunteer program, 8/21/2017 2:33 PM perhaps I would direct a few days a year toward volunteering in the Teanaway.
73 Hopefully it can be design to give all access with good maps parking and use fees as needed. 8/21/2017 2:32 PM This will help with restrooms, enforcement, garbage service, signage and maintenace
74 Our ORV rights are important to our family and we enjoy as many opportunities to enjoy them. 8/21/2017 1:18 PM Please consider the property owners and their interest as this is our homes and our back yard. We are already squeezed by the environmentalist and other groups that over shadow the land owners rights.
75 Thank you for gathering feedback! As a hiker, I appreciate being able to make my voice heard. 8/21/2017 12:20 PM
76 Hut to hut bunk house systems are amazing in OR and should be looked at along with their fire 8/21/2017 12:13 PM lookout rental options for winter acconodations with wood burning saunas available with wood stocked by groomers or other. 77 This state already has LOTS of wilderness for hikers and horses! Us older people and the disabled 8/21/2017 12:12 PM people NEED motorized access 78 A "Community Forest" Should provide recreation for ALL of the community. Not just a select few. 8/21/2017 12:08 PM 79 Please don't expand the road network or designate new areas for motorized recreation. Neither I 8/21/2017 11:33 AM nor my many nature-living buddies will hike or camp in areas where we will be subjected to engine noise and pollution. 80 Please do not increase the use of motorized vehicles. The peaceful slow pace of the valley is what 8/21/2017 9:51 AM makes the Teanaway so special. 81 Please allow more motorized activities and trail systems. This area should not be limited to non- 8/21/2017 9:02 AM motorized use.
82 Tone down motorized. It is pretty abused out there. Have volunteers out on weekends to welcome 8/21/2017 8:18 AM campers or some kind of host that can help with questions once redeveloped. 83 Open the trails for side by sides and atv's 8/21/2017 7:25 AM
93 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
84 Please ban or limit motorized use of the forest, they are noisy and detract from enjoyment. Also 8/21/2017 7:13 AM severely limit use of horses, their droppings are a mess on the trail. 85 love the area and would enjoy future use 8/21/2017 2:23 AM 86 I love it 8/20/2017 11:29 PM 87 no shooting zones around existing cabins or camping areas for sighting in rifles or guns anytime 8/20/2017 11:27 PM prior to hunting . 88 I believe I speak for many locals when I say that I'd like to keep the Teanaway as unpopulated as 8/20/2017 11:22 PM possible! Lodging, new trails/campsites and educational signs invite too many people into a cherished area that is close to home but gives you the feeling that you are deep in the wilderness. Thank you! 89 Being retired and over 70 yrs of age, we have gone into WATV vehicles for forest recreation. It is 8/20/2017 10:20 PM important to have Road and trail systems where we can ride. Please do not shut us out. 90 I have already done trail clearing with my snowmobile club for years . 8/20/2017 10:16 PM 91 Ideally we can find ways to support all forest activities. Motorized, non-motorized, and equestrian. 8/20/2017 9:50 PM Limiting this invaluable resource does not serve our population well, nor does it serve Teanaway Valley residents, including me and my family. 92 Hiking, conservation, quiet places to recreate are the most important values. Keep wild places wild! 8/20/2017 8:59 PM
93 No 8/20/2017 8:02 PM
94 Please take steps to keep the area quiet. Motorcycles and snowmobiles are soo loud. and destroy 8/20/2017 6:05 PM the serenity of the wild space.
95 I'm so grateful for the improved road to bean creek trailhead. Also the repaving of the main road to 8/20/2017 4:23 PM the community forest.
96 Fewer cows. 8/20/2017 9:50 AM
97 Protect the wolves of Teanaway! I only wish to hunt deer in Teanaway. 8/20/2017 12:13 AM
98 I don't believe in making something out of nothing too make a profit 8/19/2017 9:39 PM
99 Creating alternate paved access from Roslyn would make sense, and perhaps also via Red Mtn to 8/19/2017 8:47 PM Brewer Pass road. I would prefer no snowmobile noise, speed, and smell.
100 I hope the needs of fish and wildlife are considered with the highest priority. 8/19/2017 7:37 PM
101 Thank you for your work. As much as we enjoy doing our own thing in the Teanaway, increased 8/19/2017 7:10 PM use means we need to protect the area now with more developed trails and river access, pit toilets, and an end to dispersed camping.
102 Being disabled I'm not able to use the area as I used too. Would like to see more handicap 8/19/2017 5:51 PM accessibility
103 Public lands should be prioritized for fish and wildlife lands and used for hunting and fishing 8/19/2017 5:46 PM purposes, do not allow commercial use and discourage and attempts to charge user fee. Do not improve lands,leave natural habitat. Do not use tax payer money to improve lands for human encroachment. Decrease funds for wdfw enforcement, use volunteers to educate the public on land use rules. Use signs and public notices to post rules, cut state employee positions and use the money for posting signs and limiting commercial use. 104 When snowmobilers come up against private property fences, they have mowed over the fences 8/19/2017 4:42 PM causing much repair for us this year. First time:( 105 No more motorized traffic than presently exists---This area is very beautiful and we want to keep it 8/19/2017 3:15 PM that way--we don`t need ATVs running on ANY trails!!! 106 Keep dogs out of the forest. The owners let them run free, off leash, and they chase wildlife, often 8/19/2017 12:18 PM harming the animals. 107 Ad I am sure you know, more roads and trails equals less forest and habitat. I am against 8/19/2017 10:00 AM increasing motorized vehicle access.
108 Allow ATV riding on trails 8/19/2017 9:24 AM 109 Thank you for doing this. 8/19/2017 8:49 AM
94 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
110 Keep it wild and don't kill wildlife 8/19/2017 8:31 AM 111 Motorcycle use on US Forest lands only! No parking areas, camping, river access near private 8/19/2017 8:16 AM property 112 Please do not allow expansion of any motorized activity on the Teanaway Forest. Currently, there 8/19/2017 1:50 AM is a surplus of motorized trails and facilities in the county including lands east of Highway 97 and south of I-90. The Teanaway Community Forest was purchased with watershed restoration and protection as a top priority – make it a unique front-country opportunity for less impactful and quiet recreation. From hiking and camping to hunting and angling, other recreation values would be imparied by the addition of motorized recreation on this public forest. 113 Nature oppotunities are amazing. Thank you 8/18/2017 10:39 PM 114 No 8/18/2017 9:12 PM 115 I built a residence and have been in the Wagon Wheel for almost 25 yrs. We would like to see 8/18/2017 9:01 PM motorized recreation as a part of the forest. We don't believe you should be limited to mountain bikes and horses to enjoy the forest. There is plenty of room for every one. 116 I love the Teanaway area, it's one of my favorite places especially in spring and early summer. I'm 8/18/2017 8:51 PM so glad that more land has been set aside for recreation. 117 Thanks for preserving this area from commercial development. We've been enjoying this area for 8/18/2017 8:15 PM over 20 years!
118 I am a person who is older. 68 year old female. I have paid my dues in volunteering. It is time for 8/18/2017 6:45 PM the younger folks
119 I am an avid and responsible motorcycle trail rider. I love the area, and would love to see the 8/18/2017 5:52 PM access remain.
120 Less is more; I live nearby and have been observing the proliferation of recreational vehicles 8/18/2017 5:06 PM owned by weekend residents in neighborhoods north of Ronald. If there are trails built connecting the towns of Roslyn, Cle Elum and Ronald to the Teanaway then motorized access needs to be off the table and enforced. Such trails provide convenient access for snowmachines, dirt bikes and quads. If there are no funds for enforcement then don't provide access.
121 The free range cattle are a little aggressive. You find them on pretty much every trail or road that 8/18/2017 5:02 PM you try to hike. The cow manure in camp also shows that they come and go as they please.
122 The dispersed camping in these areas has to be difficult and damaging to the ecosystem. With the 8/18/2017 4:39 PM growing population of the puget sound area, the number of people weekending in the Teanaway is dramatically increasing. Creating new and larger developed camping areas, while offsetting closing dispersed camping areas is a logical step to controlling the impact to the river banks. Considering that I(we) have been paying discover passes and trailhead passes for years now, no new trailheads or campgrounds have been generated. And with more users moving in and purchasing those same passes, no new increased facilities have been developed. It's time take action and look long term for the viability of the area and maintain the wilderness feel responsibly through focusing the impact in sustainable spaces. 123 Looking forward to it! 8/18/2017 4:13 PM 124 Please take into consideration that the majority of local Teanaway citizens do not want the area to 8/18/2017 3:04 PM change. It is devastating that people from western Washington and from out of the area are wanting to change our way of life so that it conforms to their interests. They would obviously have a difficult time if we were to go to their side of the mountains and change their way of life. Please leave the beautiful Teanaway valley as it currently is. 125 Please do not allow expansion of any motorized activity on the Teanaway Forest. Currently, there 8/18/2017 1:54 PM is a surplus of motorized trails and facilities in the county including lands east of Highway 97 and south of I-90. The Teanaway Community Forest was purchased with watershed restoration and protection as a top priority – make it a unique front-country opportunity for less impactful and quiet recreation. From hiking and camping to hunting and angling, other recreation values would be imparied by the addition of motorized recreation on this public forest.
126 I love this area and want to preserve it for generations to come. Please do more to ensure cattle 8/18/2017 11:33 AM are kept out of rivers as they damage the banks and fish habitat. 127 Remove the wolfpacks. 8/18/2017 10:30 AM 128 Allow motorized use 8/18/2017 7:37 AM
95 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
129 I am for and all of the above strategy allowing multiple recreational groups to access the 8/18/2017 6:39 AM Teanaway community forest. In my opinion, access to the forest should reflect the diversity of America and American recreational user groups. While not every user group should have access to every trail, there should be specific trails designated to mountain bikers, motorcycles, equestrians and hikers. Make sure to get volunteers from the various user groups to help build and maintain the trails. Looking forward to having fun in the Teanaway community Forrest! Thank you 130 Elderly. More and more restricted from non-motorized access. 8/18/2017 4:21 AM 131 We trailer camp in the W. Fork campground once to twice a year. It's great because it's close 8/17/2017 11:06 PM enough to town, it's a fee free campground, has put toilets, and has lots of recreation opportunities. It's the perfect spot. Please don't ruin perfection w/a lot of fee and rules. 132 Maintain its status as nonmotorized. This is one of the few remaining places without constant 8/17/2017 9:29 PM motorized harassment to people and wildlife. The amazing diversity of wildlife will certainly decrease with the addition of motors. Maintain the current state with very limited motorized access- motorized groups are not losing anything because they've never had legal access. 133 Twenty Nine Pines campground could be better. It is cheaper but campsites are not very attractive 8/17/2017 8:25 PM nor shady Salmon La Sac is nicer and you do pay more but there was a problem in that people seem to reserve prime sites and then don't show up so campground is "full" but not really. Would be nice if there was a way to release unused campsites by a certain time of evening but that would require a host and more work so maybe not possible. I'm physically somewhat disabled so really appreciate being able to drive into a campsite and am sorry to be missing the more wilderness sites available by backpacking. But one thing I like about the Teanaway is it's only a couple hours from Seattle for a completely different climate and landscape and nice weather and yet it's fairly uncrowded with a variety of car accessible places to Camp along a river or lake 134 Thanks for taking the time and effort to do this, and improve the area. 8/17/2017 6:34 PM
135 Please do not allow e-bike access or arc access 8/17/2017 6:20 PM
136 Please keep our forest and river usable but we like having it our own little secret. Please don't over 8/17/2017 6:13 PM advertise it and ruin it's simple beauty and quietness that draws us there.
137 I think it is paramount that multi use trails exist in our community forest. Motorcycles and Snow 8/17/2017 5:13 PM machines alike should have every right to enjoy our community forest. As a whole we are responsible stewards of the land and highly likely to volunteer to maintain the trail system.
138 please save our natural areas 8/17/2017 3:59 PM
139 Non-motorized! 8/17/2017 3:35 PM
140 hunters and fishers enjoy the rugged areas. These need to be protected. 8/17/2017 12:54 PM
141 It is hard to volunteer time, but donating financially is easier for me as my way of contribution, at 8/17/2017 9:46 AM this point in my life.
142 Thank you! The Teanaway is a beautiful area! 8/17/2017 12:56 AM
143 The motorcycles tear up the hiking trails. The ruts and erosion from them are very bad. It would be 8/16/2017 11:31 PM better to have a motorcycle park then allow the bikes on the trails. 144 I find that state lands capitulate to political demands and become restrictive and I find that 8/16/2017 8:39 PM unwelcoming. I've recreated there for many years and expect it will now become a place NOT to go to with state control. It should be turned over the USFS as part of National Forest Lands where it is less susceptible to BS non-scientific political demands of city dwellers 145 No 8/16/2017 2:54 PM 146 Do not increase access to dirt bikes and atvs. 8/16/2017 1:40 PM 147 Forest service road improvements on roads up to the Beverly Turnpike, Stafford Creek and North 8/16/2017 11:34 AM Fork 148 If I were closer to the forest in general I would be more apt to volunteer. As it stands, I'm only able 8/16/2017 10:32 AM to visit once/twice a year for camping.
149 Yes if the trails were cleaned so you could ride them you would have more people in horse camps. 8/16/2017 10:17 AM Trails need to be cleared not just the main. 150 We need motorized trails too. ie, dirt biking 8/16/2017 9:25 AM
96 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
151 We need to share the trails. Horses, people, bikes. 8/16/2017 9:06 AM 152 I live near Sammamish but, I love to visit the Teenaway area. 8/16/2017 8:33 AM 153 Leave the area open to public use year round. Much public land is not open to the public. 8/16/2017 8:03 AM 154 While I'd like to be more available to help with trails etc, at this time in my life I find I'm frequently 8/16/2017 7:07 AM out of town! 155 We have enjoyed the openness of the area and the ability to cross country through the area. 8/16/2017 6:00 AM 156 I'm excited this is now public land. I'd really like it to be left as rustic and undeveloped as it is now 8/16/2017 5:35 AM and has been for the last 100 years, that's what makes the Teanaway so special! It's a quiet beautiful place without all the traffic and abuse of other nearby recreation sights like those off I90 and Leavenworth. Icicle Creek Road is a good model for semi undeveloped area that handles very similar recreation and a lot of people. 157 keep it wild and primitive for the most part, but provide limited access and regular enforcement in 8/15/2017 10:42 PM the few heavy use/casual hiker-car camper areas. let it be used by all but don't give it all away to the abusers without retaining the vast majority of it's wildness for the ones who will care for it. 158 please don't exploit this beautiful, untouched area just to make a few bucks off additional 8/15/2017 10:18 PM mainstream recreational activities :( 159 I'm not likely to volunteer for trail maintenance becasue my wife is already a volunteer USFS 8/15/2017 9:33 PM ranger and I am active in Search and Rescue. Selective logging and controlled burns should be promoted to rehab the pine forests.
160 Please do not allow expansion of any motorized activity on the TCF. Currently, there is a surplus 8/15/2017 8:40 PM of motorized trails and facilities in the greater Teanaway area and lands south of I-90. The TCF was purchased with watershed restoration and protection as a top priority – allowing expansion of such a destructive activity runs counter to these goals. We need to restore the watershed, protect the land for wildlife, allow some reasonable quiet recreation, and focus on directing limited resources to developing some great campgrounds and trails to great vistas. We support quiet recreation trails that allow non-motorized activities. The TCF is home to a flourishing wolf pack, spotted owls, deer and elk , and more -- recreation planning should be aligned with the conservation goals of the TCF and allow for recreation uses that do not degrade these goals.
161 I value the peace and quiet in the forest and would welcome no motorized access. 8/15/2017 7:20 PM
162 Beautiful area! Excited to see what comes out of this planning process. 8/15/2017 7:02 PM
163 Please stop the target shooting! 8/15/2017 6:43 PM
164 reduce grazing on the community forest 8/15/2017 6:00 PM
165 Nice to learn about this treasure 8/15/2017 5:19 PM
166 Allow for motorized use on existing road network. 8/15/2017 5:02 PM
167 I really want campsites for tents only. Tent camping near RVs or trailers with anything motorized 8/15/2017 4:47 PM (generators) ruins the experience of nature and quiet. 29 pines is too noisy to enjoy nature sounds/sights. 168 Please consider offering limited bus service to major Teanaway Community Forest 8/15/2017 3:31 PM trailheads/campsites during the peak season. I love to backpack and hike but remain dependent on friends to drive because in this chapter of my life my income is too low to rent or own a car to get out in the woods on my own. And instead of carving out parking lots in the TCF, please consider establishing park and rides with shuttle buses to trailheads and campsites and connections to regional public transit to reduce car traffic in the TCF and economic barriers to entry. 169 I'm too old and tied up ( caregiver ) to volunteer. 8/15/2017 2:09 PM 170 I believe that this taxpayer funded recreational area should be available to all users regardless of 8/15/2017 12:25 PM whether it is motorized or non-motorized. Full access is important to the economic viability of the local area and discriminating against certain citizens based upon how they choose to use these research would be wrong. 171 Appreciate this careful planning to accomodate all in balanced development and access. 8/15/2017 11:24 AM 172 Quiet and natural landscape are what I seek. I will not walk there if I am likely to hear motorized 8/15/2017 10:54 AM vehicles.
97 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
173 try to consider the wildlife and the natural orld as you make plans for more people to invade the 8/15/2017 10:42 AM backcountry. please. 174 We live in Seattle, and do our volunteer trail work closer to home. The Teanaway is a beautiful 8/15/2017 9:19 AM change of scenery, but I couldn't be coming out to do volunteer work - too far. 175 One of our most treasured and beautiful areas 8/15/2017 8:46 AM 176 Keep out motorized vehicles - motorcycles, atv's, etc. 8/15/2017 8:06 AM 177 My lack of volunteering would only be because of health issues in my back when having to bend 8/15/2017 7:54 AM over too much. 178 Love this area! I'm excited that there will be more space/options for the hordes of people seeking 8/15/2017 6:39 AM recreation in that area. 179 An organized approach to all I have checked seems to be underway! Great! 8/15/2017 6:15 AM 180 No more roads or development. 8/15/2017 6:00 AM 181 Please make sure horse use is high on the priority list. 8/15/2017 4:15 AM 182 I feel bad about my last answer (very unlikely to volunteer) but it's a long drive. Don't encourage 8/15/2017 12:13 AM mechanized recreation (motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs). Let the forest be a natural experience. 183 Don't want to see the area built with cabins etc. Please leave it as nature put it, just make the trail 8/14/2017 11:30 PM system more designated except for steep areas, leave alone. Make the more well used trails designated and maintained. Leave the "experts only" trails as is.
184 Keep it open to all user groups! 8/14/2017 10:44 PM
185 No 8/14/2017 10:40 PM
186 No 8/14/2017 10:12 PM
187 1. decommission the roads around Gallagher head lake - or put a trail to connect Gallagher to the 8/14/2017 10:04 PM trail from Esmeralda basin. No motor cycle trails - the damage being done on the few used is great...AND there needs to be far more education on toileting in the outdoors, its gotten really bad!
188 The Teanaway Valley is the gateway to an exceptional wilderness region. Development should 8/14/2017 9:41 PM take a minimalist approach, with a goal of improving access, safety, and orientation for users without jeopardizing the wilderness and opening the region to the excesses of overdevelopment.
189 Please keep trails open to horses 8/14/2017 9:21 PM
190 Provide adequate trails without motorized vehicles (motorcycles or snowmobiles). 8/14/2017 9:21 PM
191 Sounds like opportunity for WTA projects. 8/14/2017 9:19 PM
192 Please keep it open to stock. Provide areas that hikers and stock do not have to be concerned for 8/14/2017 9:18 PM their personal safety due to high speed mountain bikes.
193 Love the Teanaway Comunity Forest 8/14/2017 9:16 PM 194 You asked what I want, but I think it's very important we develop expanded recreation opportunity 8/14/2017 9:10 PM for future generations. 195 Currently, I seek steeper peak hikes, scrambles, climbs. In 10 years-when approaching 70, may 8/14/2017 9:05 PM hike & camp Teanaway much more. 196 The road to the north fork area, Beverly campground, Ingall's lake trailhead etc... is rough and all 8/14/2017 7:17 PM that forest debris along the way in big piles really needs to be cleaned up. 197 Great area with lots of opportunities. My hiking is a bit closer to Seattle but would love to hike in 8/14/2017 7:15 PM the teanawy area if a bit more developed. 198 Yes, we need more trail related development in the Teanaway to help take pressure off the 8/14/2017 7:08 PM Methow Valley year round.
199 I love the area and have spent years exploring. I have seen increased use, illegal motorized trail 8/14/2017 7:00 PM poaching, and erosion. It is a delicate area that cannot support large numbers nor motorized use. Large event use should be limited. Every weekend in Spring and summer large groups over take the place - no place to park, crowded or closed trails. They need to be limited and pay to use it. 200 Thank you for this 8/14/2017 6:58 PM

201 Lets get her done.. 8/14/2017 6:45 PM 202 Beautiful area - keep the motors away from the hiking trails!!!!!!! 8/14/2017 6:37 PM 203 Optimize hiking/non-motorized activities; ban motorized activities; limit horse and trail, bike uses. 8/14/2017 6:10 PM 204 I don't go there often because I live in North Bend, but I love areas I've been to 8/14/2017 5:49 PM 205 Hunters using motorized vehicles made a fall hike scary. 8/14/2017 5:37 PM 206 Very happy to see this happening and while I definitely am in favor of developing enough to create 8/14/2017 5:34 PM more recreation opportunities I wouldn't want to see it developed to the point where it is loved to death like many other areas. Also, I would prefer that this not be so groomed that it makes it too desirable/easy for the folks who just want to show up to party and end up trashing the place. I guess what I'm saying is I would like to see some rough edges remain or at the very least keep the overly easy accessibility to a few areas while making access to much of the area a little bit more challenging - by which I don't just mean challenging trails but even challenging road conditions...for example I wouldn't want to see every road paved over and every slightly bumpy or rutted section totally smoothed out. If this area becomes too popular I will definitely start to avoid it. 207 Would love to volunteer if well organized, specific days planned and easy to sign up/show up, with 8/14/2017 4:32 PM very specific tasks and clear direction ready to achieve. 208 Please do not allow expansion of any motorized activity on the Teanaway Forest! There's already 8/14/2017 11:15 AM too many motorized trails and facilities in the county. The Teanaway Community Forest is supposed to focus on watershed restoration and protection, so QUIET recreation is the best approach. Adding motorized recreation on this forest will harm the wildlife and the quiet recreation that the forest was meant to protect.
209 Having camping areas outside of designated areas is a great benefit. Even just a small flat pull off 8/14/2017 9:37 AM area that a truck and trailer can park in works great.
210 Thanks for asking for feedback! 8/14/2017 9:00 AM
211 I would limit access to these area to preserve the beauty and serenity of the area 8/14/2017 8:44 AM
212 Respect for multiple use including grazing, timber management . Wildfire mitigation using 8/14/2017 8:43 AM prescribe fire and thinning. Seperation of mountain biking and foot/horse users. No mountain biking in roadless areas.
213 I am a horseback rider and I don't mind sharing trails with all users as long as all are respectful of 8/14/2017 7:48 AM one another and the land.
214 Mountain bike flow trails and groomed xc nordic trails, far away from snowmobile noise and w a 8/14/2017 7:37 AM dedicated parking area, are our biggest requests. Hard to find a Nordic experience not polluted by snowmobile noise within 2 hours of Seattle.
215 Less roads, more trails. 8/13/2017 10:11 PM
216 Build a strong relationship with the cattle and timber industries. 8/13/2017 9:20 PM
217 If I lived closer to this trail system I would have no problem doing volunteer work. Also having 8/13/2017 8:54 PM some one way trails that loop so mountain bikes and horses can move in the same direction for less accidents. 218 Leave it natural. More additions means more cost and disruption to the forest. There are plenty of 8/13/2017 7:00 PM other recreation areas around. We do not need anything more! 219 don't forget the disabled and injured soldiers,they suffer from nature deficit disorder just like we 8/13/2017 6:50 PM do.. 220 I would love to see more mountain biking opportunities. 8/13/2017 2:44 PM 221 Please open and designate trails for motorized use. Motorcycle and four wheel drive access 8/13/2017 2:28 PM 222 Make sure trout habitat and river flows protect trout in the future. Seems like there is too much 8/13/2017 2:23 PM agricultural irrigation and the river is disappearing. 223 motorcycled cle elum ridge cle elum to Roslyn. saw non motor signs. Street legal M/C is doing less 8/13/2017 1:05 PM damage than rat pack trail folks.
224 As a hiker and non-motorized winter recreation its, please keep in mind my desire to be removed 8/13/2017 7:58 AM from the sound and smell of motorized equipment. As a hiker, trail sharing does not work with motorized and non-motorized users.
99 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
225 thank you! 8/12/2017 8:43 PM 226 Thank you for being open to public comment. Washington State has so much land yet not nearly 8/12/2017 4:26 PM enough trails. Trails that connect geographic areas and allow for a variety of users are needed. 227 The single track trail in the area is super confusing. They need connectors and trail signage. Easy 8/12/2017 9:59 AM to get lost. Takes away from the experience. 228 Trails need to connect the various natural resource highlights in the area like Bible Rock and 8/12/2017 9:50 AM others. Low grade properly constructed trails for non moto use should be a high priority. Leave double track in place for emergency access but enhance the user experience by constructing single track. EMBA should be a major contributor to this part. Signage is key also. Read trail reports on Trailforks.com and almost every user complains of no signage and overgrown trails. Again, EMBA can help here. Reach out to them. 229 would like the peacefulness maintained--if motorized vehicles are allowed, they need to be street 8/12/2017 9:33 AM legal: with mufflers! 230 I strongly believe that there needs be continuation of the road system over Jack creek to Blue 8/12/2017 9:33 AM Creek and that Dickey Creek needs to be open for vehicles to access Red top and Highway 97 down Blue creek. This forest is for everyone. I am sure that the groups that advocate diversity and inclusion will recognize this and support motorized and non-motorized use. I also believe that the current USFS jeep trails that border and pass through need to remain as they are part of the community forest as well. Please include everyone and don't over regulate. Thank you. 231 keep motorized and non-motorized widely separated. 8/12/2017 9:08 AM
232 I love this area! 8/12/2017 6:32 AM
233 Motor bikes are misusing the Lake Cle Elum beaches, towns of Ronald, Roslyn and Cle Elum 8/11/2017 7:57 PM because the trails have been blocked. They are going around the barricades and making new trails illegally. They need a place to go and enjoy nature instead of running up and down making dust and noise for local citizens. Please open the trails for bikes.
234 Keep as many roads open as possible for elderly like me with disabilitys to access the area. 8/11/2017 7:44 PM
235 If it is non motorized I won't be able to use account of health 8/11/2017 7:13 PM
236 Thank you for preserving this land for recreation uses. 8/11/2017 6:45 PM
237 Open up trails to ATV and Off road use. 8/11/2017 6:16 PM
238 Part of the charm here is the lack of development. 8/11/2017 2:52 PM
239 I think you are doing a great job keeping ORV, hiking, and equestrian use independent of 8/11/2017 1:22 PM eachother. I am a graduate student in Ellensburg in the resource management program so please contact me with anything you might need.
240 Please don't close down the recreational shooting pits. I would gladly volunteer to these areas 8/11/2017 11:46 AM clean
241 I understand the interest in legalizing the existing motorized access, but we have plenty of areas in 8/11/2017 10:20 AM our county already open to motorized. These machines are powerful, noisy and highly destructive. Trails in the Manastash, Taneum and Table Mountain areas are in terrible shape because maintenance funds are always difficult to retain. Volunteer groups who say they help "maintain" trails mostly just buck the logs out of their way at the beginning of the season. That isn't maintenance. The trails are cutting deeper into the soil, are widening in many places. Maintenance to eliminate that is expensive. The same will happen in the Teanaway with authorizing and promoting motorized access. The three trails that are already open are "expert only". That drastically reduces usage. Look at the condition of popular trails in other parts of the county before considering whether to open this area for dirt bikes or other ORV's. 242 I feel strongly that motorized recreational use be PROHIBITED in the TCF. The expressed reason 8/11/2017 9:46 AM for the state acquiring the area was to enhance and preserve the natural landscape and wildlife populations. Motorized recreation would only aid in the destruction of stable landscapes and wildlife security. There are already ample areas available in the county for motorized recreation. 243 Please don't expand the motorized areas. 8/10/2017 9:00 PM 244 Local are going to take care of this area because it is close and a great place to ride horses, bike 8/10/2017 7:26 PM or hike. We don't like to go in and clean up when visitors trash our forest.
100 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
245 I would prefer to have no motorized vehicles allowed. It is part of an important watershed - please 8/10/2017 5:32 PM use educational kiosks to explain how all of the eco-systems work together to support good water. Thank you. 246 Please do not close our snowmobile access. This is a huge deal for many of us who have been 8/10/2017 2:01 PM riding in the area for many years. 247 DO NOTUNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE START RESERVATION OR FEE BASED CAMPSITES 8/10/2017 12:08 PM OR DESIGNATED CAMPSITES, THIS IS A COMMUNITY FOREST FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, THIS WILL ONLY ENCOURAGE HEAVY TRAFFIC FROM THOSE OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY. THERE IS NO NEED TO DEVELOP A TRAIL FROM THE TOWNS OF ROSYLN OR CLE ELEM, THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDS IMPROVED IS THE ROADS!!!!!!!! 248 Meet with UTV riders & learn about us & how we respect rules & other people around us. We are 8/10/2017 11:58 AM good people who follow the rules & we don't tear up the trails. We clean up areas that need it as we ride. The keeps & trucks Tate up the trails & if you investigate the width of the damage we can't ride after they tare up the trails yet they are league. Meet with us & get to know us we are good responsible riders. 249 I have been using these trails for 35yrs. with motorized and non-motorized and I believe that it 8/10/2017 9:50 AM needs to accommodate for both. People are going to do both anyway and so we need to give access to do both and cutting off access to or through certain areas is not going to work they all need to have access to the same areas. You can never make everyone 100% happy so we need to stop trying to do that because it just makes people angry and frustrated.
250 Camping is important for some but it is costly to build / maintain If camping is provided it should be 8/10/2017 9:20 AM self sustaining
251 The vast majority of the landscape outside of wilderness has ample access for multiple forms of 8/9/2017 10:37 PM motorized access, and it is very special and unique to have the Teanaway without motorized access outside of what already exists. Please do not increase any form of motorized access. People can already access areas of the Teanaway on all three forks using motorized, I do it myself on paved and unpaved roads, and the 3 USFS motorized trails for motorcycles need to be relocated outside of the sensitive stream areas - they wreck them! The winter snowmobile routes connect loops, and to USFS trails, and provide more than enough motorized winter access - do not increase this amount, and if anything please relocate or reduce this. I like to ski cross country, and I routinely observe snowmobile tracks in all sorts of places where they are not authorized or designated - please enforce the groomed routes that already exist. Having some groomed non- motorized routes would be nice! Thank you for purchasing the Teanaway, it is truly a special place, unlike any other - don't wreck it by loving it to death. 252 Continue with the old Forest Service slogan of multiple use. 8/9/2017 5:33 PM
253 This area is a treasure! Especially as the growth of usage along the I-90 corridor increases. 8/9/2017 4:15 PM
254 I do not think motorized vehicles should use and recreate on the same trails as hikers and 8/9/2017 1:51 PM equestrian should . Motorized users should use over areas outside of TCF.
255 I started going to Teanaway in 1958 and spent many summers over there. This land should be left 8/9/2017 1:23 PM open for all to use. 256 Beautiful area for cross country skiing, but marred by snowmobile traffic in same areas. Designate 8/9/2017 10:58 AM some good skiing area non motorized--Teanaway Butte? 257 Restricted area and trails for motorized bikes 8/9/2017 10:18 AM 258 I love this area now. It's a shame that they allow motorbikes on the trails - they are getting 8/9/2017 10:18 AM destroyed! Keep this area rural and full of natural beauty. Keep it quiet - ban the use of motorbikes on the trails! They can use the roads! 259 I noticed most of your questions are structured and directed towards non-motorized recreation. I 8/9/2017 8:16 AM bet you didn't think anyone would be wise enough t have noticed that. It's as if us you and your Environmentalist Friends are willingly accept your paychecks from the tax payers and continually strive to implement your own agenda funded on the backs of the Taxpayer who own this property. "Kind of like the way you sniped the Senior Water Rights!! Your services would be better served if you'd stay on the Westside of the Cascades with the rest of your Commie Pals! But as we all know you already F that up with the failed Growth Management Plan. 260 Thank you for asking! 8/9/2017 8:08 AM 261 Gate roads keep motorized out. Cause much erosion 8/8/2017 8:21 PM
101 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
262 The smell of permits, fees, and limited access is worrisome. I've been in the area for a lifetime, 8/8/2017 7:56 PM hiked, fished and hunted. Always cleaned up after ourselves. Always picked up others garbage. I dislike the idea of making something better and charging us to use the area. I know population explosion is a problem .. I understand the costs. Still, I get timed of things getting "fixed" for the common good and then fees and permits tacked on. Grrrrrrrr. 263 FIX THE ROADS 8/8/2017 7:55 PM 264 I and my family do a great deal of volunteering for trail maintenance in other locations and feel 8/8/2017 7:18 PM strongly that the Teanaway Community Forest area has sustained itself and Should continue to do so if it is not overcome by massive amounts of people using it as the new weekend destination. The area does not need to be commercialized, and motorized vehicles should not be allowed. It should not be fenced as if it were a city park... it is forest and range for a reason. The area has sustained its self before this big change...respect it for the way it is and the historical uses that have been in place. 265 As you can see from my comments, I feel strongly that we should try to keep the Teanaway as 8/8/2017 7:03 PM wild as possible, as clean as possible, and as less citified as possible. My family has been coming here for generations. The more "improvements" we see - the more signs, parking lots, paved roads, motors, overly groomed trailes -- the more the Teanaway becomes like a city park. That's not why true Teanaway lovers go there. We yearn for a place that is beautiful, accessible and wild. Good toilets, good gravel roads, clean campsites and signage that blends with the surroundings is fine. If you want to spend more money, put it into educational programs that teach kids and adults about the forest and its inhabitants. 266 I'm very thankful there is a group of people working to preserve this precious land. My family has 8/8/2017 6:47 PM been in the area since the 60's and I love it. Thank you.
267 - Recreation should be secondary to the primary goal of the watershed restoration and protection. - 8/8/2017 5:36 PM Manage to protect important ecological elements such as the Teanaway wolf pack, spotted owls, elk, ..., and fish. - Motorized use in the NF Teanaway has been heavy, damaging and displacing other recreation. South of I-90 motorized recreation is really intensive. Such off road-motorized recreation winter or summer should not be allowed into the Teanaway Community Forest. - With regard to recreation, please make sure that we can have quiet, peaceful experiences that do not excessively disturb the landscape.
268 Thank you for the daunting task of trying to create a community forest area with something for 8/8/2017 4:16 PM everyone. My biggest concern is the idea of motorized vehicles in the forest. I worry about the impact they could have with the other types of recreation the TFC is trying to establish.
269 By opening the area to elderly and disabled by the use of motorized side by side you are now 8/8/2017 3:36 PM making it available to everyone
270 Please do not exclude motorized recreation in designated areas. 8/8/2017 1:14 PM
271 Please limit motorized vehicles in the forest. We visit the forest for the quiet and to observe 8/8/2017 11:26 AM wildlife/birds. We do not mean eliminate the vehicles completely, but limit the access.
272 I am getting up in age so it would be difficult for me to volunteer for restoration projects. 8/8/2017 10:19 AM 273 More races! 8/8/2017 10:15 AM 274 Don't ban any activities due to pressure from other groups (keep motorized, hunting, etc) 8/8/2017 9:35 AM 275 My body won't let get out a work anymore 8/8/2017 8:03 AM 276 Minimize motor recreational vehicles. Create minimal human impact. 8/8/2017 7:26 AM 277 I've loved all of my Teanaway experiences, the only issue is one we had while camping, and it was 8/7/2017 10:36 PM the bathrooms. They were definitely suitable, and very clean when we arrived, but they quickly got overrun with bees and flies and were a little bit terrifying to go into, and there weren't even very many campers there using them...but one darn person left the seat up and it was all over! We ended up using the woods for our "needs" but that is obviously not ideal.
278 Currently working full time. Imagine more active use and volunteering upon retirement. Thanks. 8/7/2017 9:04 PM Love this area. 279 I prefer a quiet experience in nature. I would oppose motorized vehicular access in the community 8/7/2017 8:57 PM forest.
280 Keep it open for motorcycle trail riding 8/7/2017 8:42 PM
102 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
281 Once again, please keep in mind that there are very few trails for 2 wheeled motorcycles and very 8/7/2017 7:49 PM many for hikers, please do not restrict access of the few remaining motorcycle single track trails. Teanaway connects trails south of Cle Elum to trails out of Cashmere like Mission Ridge, closing Teanaway to motorized use would sever that connection 282 Please do not over develop the area. There are so few places left this unmolested. We need to 8/7/2017 7:04 PM preserve what little we have left. 283 I have camped at the Community Campground a few times, I would like to see an overnight 8/7/2017 7:03 PM charge to supply funds for garbage, security, information sites, trail markers in the area. I believe that designated equine camping spots, (with corrals, highlines, horse waterers, etc) would limit campers further compromising the grounds) I also think that designated trails, with markers would also create less impact on the already eroded river banks, etc. I am a member of the BCHW and we try to do everything to create a better experience for ALL recreational factions. 284 Thanks to the Teanaway Advisory Committee for all their hard work and to the DNR for the wisdom 8/7/2017 6:04 PM in seeking input from all the stakeholders. I've long enjoyed the area for it's beauty and had not known until fairly recently that it would now be managed as the Teanaway Community Forest. I am very grateful that it did not end up in private hands when the lands were sold. It's great that it will be preserved for a wide variety of uses by the public. 285 The Teanaway is treat, I hope it doesn't get over populated 8/7/2017 5:41 PM 286 Would like roads back open that we grew up our whole life enjoying before spotted owl protection 8/7/2017 5:07 PM closed down
287 We need a lot more non- motorized recreation areas. 8/7/2017 3:17 PM
288 Protect it at all costs. Expand it if possible. 8/7/2017 3:06 PM
289 I'm still a working person, but as I retire I would love to volunteer 8/7/2017 2:40 PM
290 I live in this area because it's rural and quiet. Please don't disturb the forest with recreation 8/7/2017 11:24 AM activities! And for sure NO motorized vehicles!!!
291 The biggest problem for me is the noise of the motorized areas and the lack of good maps - both 8/7/2017 10:57 AM at trail heads and on trails so you know where you are and how to connect to where you want to go.
292 I enjoy navigating through the terrain and would like to see continued access to the entire forest for 8/7/2017 10:24 AM orienteering, adventure racing, and other land navigation activities.
293 I believe the emphasis for recreation planning should be placed on habitat improvement for wildlife 8/7/2017 9:51 AM and fish, and in preserving hunting and fishing opportunities.
294 Campsites: - Noticing more and more people are setting up tents or other temporary items to hold 8/7/2017 8:01 AM campsites with no one present for more 24hrs +. I believe this is against the rules...if not, more clarification is needed. - People are taking horses further out of the horse area's and starting to encroach on other campers. My family and friends enjoy recreating in the Teanaway Community, for many years...Thanks for caring and providing the opportunity's.
295 The Teanaway Forest is home to a wolf pack, spotted owls, deer and elk, bull trout, steelhead, 8/6/2017 9:39 PM Chinook salmon, and many more species. Recreation planning should be aligned with the conservation goals of the Forest and allow for recreation uses that do not degrade fish and wildlife habitat or undermine endangered species recovery. Please do not allow expansion of any motorized activity on the Teanaway Forest. Currently, there is a surplus of motorized trails and facilities in the county including lands east of Highway 97 and south of I-90. The Teanaway Community Forest was purchased with watershed restoration and protection as a top priority – make it a unique front-country opportunity for less impactful and quiet recreation. From hiking and camping to hunting and angling, other recreation values would be imparied by the addition of motorized recreation on this public forest. Well designed and sustainable trails, campgrounds, and river viewing opportunities are important to allow the community access to the TCF, but education and monitoring are vital investments that should be made up front in this recreation planning to ensure lawful use of the designated system. Before new opportunities for recreation are opened in the Teanaway Forest, removal of the existing user created trails and restoration of degraded forest conditions must remain a priority 296 Open access to all users. 8/6/2017 8:46 PM
103 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
297 Would like more designated horse campgrounds that can accommodate more rigs and longer 8/6/2017 6:06 PM trailers. Would like easy access to stock water and access to manure disposal options or bins. Also would like camp hosts with the authority to prohibit "non-horse" campers from camping in sites designated for horse campers only. 298 Illegal motorized use has been harming the Teannaway for generations. It harms wildlife and fish 8/6/2017 4:47 PM as well as negativity impacting other users. Please put an end to this abuse. Not doing so will harm the water resources needed in the Yakima Plan. 299 Keeping equestrian trails is a high priority. 8/6/2017 1:21 PM 300 Why do hunters and fishermen have to pay extra to use state lands? We buy our license and tags, 8/6/2017 10:33 AM get a WDFW window hanger. THEN are forced to buy a discover pass. Seems the system is skewed to make sportsman and women pay for most of this... 301 Less access for people, keep the wild wild and let the real mountaineers in. Keep the yuppies out. 8/6/2017 9:38 AM 302 I am far more likely to donate money than to volunteer on repairs and such. Simply time restriction 8/6/2017 8:52 AM and I am not that strong. I am very happy with cleaning up - collecting trash kind of hikes and excursions. That I can do any time. 303 The state already has hundreds of thousands of acres of wilderness where motorized use is 8/5/2017 9:28 PM prohibited, we need more areas where motorized use is allowed. Not every is young and healthy enough to hike for miles 304 Keep the area non motorized. 8/5/2017 4:06 PM
305 No Motorized trails - Protect the fish habitat, the bikers won't 8/5/2017 2:01 PM
306 The Teanaway Forest is home to a wolf pack, spotted owls, deer and elk, bull trout, steelhead, 8/5/2017 11:11 AM Chinook salmon, and many more species. Recreation planning should be aligned with the conservation goals of the Forest and allow for recreation uses that do not degrade fish and wildlife habitat or undermine endangered species recovery.

307 Maps indicating lawful river access points would be very helpful. I primarily engage in whiteawater 8/5/2017 10:25 AM kayaking on the upper NF of the Teanaway, but information on access points on the lower stretches of river would be helpful boaters wishing to access the very scenic class II portions of the NF and other forks. 308 This is an important wildlife area that needs to be protected from motorized vehicles and extensive 8/5/2017 8:23 AM use of mountain bikes - including in winter 309 I'd just reiterate that my biggest concern moving forward is the expanded allowance of off-road 8/5/2017 7:23 AM vehicles in the Teanaway area. I don't doubt that they are fun to use, but there are already a ton of nearby areas where they are allowed. We spend our lives in cars and around the combustible engine, when I head into the wilderness the roar of an engine is the last thing I want to hear. 310 Fewer bicycles on trails. 8/5/2017 6:39 AM 311 I've participated in 2 adventure races in Teanaway Community Forest and the opportunity for off 8/4/2017 9:23 PM trail travel as well as well made bike and hiking trails really set the forest apart from other areas I've visited and raced in. 312 Love visiting the area from Canada. Thanks for asking opinions and working on a plan for the 8/4/2017 8:33 PM area!
313 All trails need to be shared equally by all users. There already are enough single use areas around 8/4/2017 7:22 PM the State if you only want to be around people recreating the same as you. All TCF users need to respect and tolerate each other.
104 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
314 Yes, I am in favor of keeping the area for low level recreation--human contact that doesn't interfere 8/4/2017 5:25 PM with wildlife and does not degrade the environment. 315 When I visit the area we usually come in from over 1 hr away and typically camp for at least one 8/4/2017 3:45 PM night. We typically stop in town for food on the way in or out. We always enjoy visiting this special area. 316 We should preserve the Teanaway and prohibit motorized trail use 8/4/2017 2:00 PM 317 One of the key reasons I enjoy hiking and backpacking in areas like Teanaway Forest is the quiet 8/4/2017 12:40 PM and natural surroundings. It is an escape from the city and from people. I hope these areas don't become overcrowded with people, the environment doesn't become degraded with increased usage and foot traffic, and that expanding that opening the area to motorized activities does not ruin the quality of the habitat for local species or the quality of the experience for quiet recreationists. 318 its sad to see "motorized " recreation going down hill, I've been riding motorcycles and 8/4/2017 11:08 AM snowmobiles in this area for over 45 years, Seems the motorized community is constantly under attack from all the liberal leftist who only have one agenda, and they spend hardly any money in the local areas, 319 We going in the right direction but we need a rod from the west fork to roslyn or cle elum in case of 8/4/2017 11:04 AM fires here right now at my place I have 2 ways out but it would be awesome to have another as well
320 Undeveloped forest lands are crucial to preserve Washington's natural beauty. Monotoring this 8/4/2017 11:04 AM community forest is the first step to restore overused and abused areas. Motorized recreation should be a low priority except where logging is planned or occurring. Sensitive areas to fish & wildlife should be off limits to all development and monotored to make sure they aren't degraded. Existing roads and trails that degrade watersheds, wetlands and streams should be "put to bed" and closed to human use. "Social trails" should not be allowed and unplanned trails removed and restored.
321 I would love it if motorized vehicles would be kept out of the Teanaway. 8/4/2017 10:32 AM
322 Motorized users are very responsible and are incredibly active with trail maintainance. The Cle 8/4/2017 10:25 AM Elum ranger district is a perfect example of orv users taking care of the lands and trails. Please give us some areas to ride and prove that we are a good group who police ourselves and put in a lot of time in the woods both for pleasure and maintainance.
323 I hope it will be developed in such a way that keeps the nature healthy and pristine. I also hope 8/4/2017 10:13 AM that loud vehicles like motorcycles and snow mobiles are limited or at least segregated from the quieter pursuits such as hiking. I go out into nature to get away from the mechanized chaos of the city.
324 with the onset of age related limits I would like to be able to use motorized access to a limited trail 8/4/2017 10:06 AM system that would connect with USFS and DFW trails.
325 No i don't. Just domt want it to close down 8/4/2017 9:58 AM 326 Teanaway camp is very restricted for horse users. It is over used, because of the restriction. Open 8/4/2017 8:52 AM up more sites, for the horse community. More signage about leave no trace. Pack it in - pack it out. If you are going to continue to put the horse camping furthest away from the river, restrooms, and right next to the road noise, then please at least provide a water source, as most folks, can not bring enough water to support horses needs. 327 There are many places in Western and Central Washington where one can experience being 8/4/2017 8:47 AM surrounded by motorized vehicles and very few where one can experience silence. I'd like to see an emphasis on non motorized and mechanized use. 328 please limit or prohibit motorized recreation. In my experience, one snowmobile or dirt bike ruins 8/4/2017 8:26 AM the experience for everyone, pollutes the air and disturbs wildlife. 329 We need more areas of in touched natural beauty, day camps for kids 8/4/2017 7:30 AM
330 If there has to be motorized recreation, it MUST be separated. True of mountain bikes too. 8/4/2017 7:21 AM
331 I'm just afraid that all the motorized users are going to ruin the Forest for everyone else. They are 8/4/2017 6:33 AM the loudest and are backed with all the businesses. Us hikers who just want to go to the woods for silence and solitude will just be left in the dust. Pun intended! We are a quiet lot and don't put up much of a fight. We just find other places to go.

332 Please allow more year round motorized access. Plan to educate users and enforce regulations. 8/4/2017 5:37 AM 333 Protection for wildlife from human interaction/interference is important to me. Particularly wolves. 8/3/2017 8:55 PM 334 The Teanaway community forest belongs to everyone and should be assessable by all means of 8/3/2017 7:22 PM transportation. Not locked up for the few. 335 I live in Olympia, so I don't regularly drive to the East-side much anymore. 8/3/2017 6:16 PM 336 The Teanaway Community Forest, and the surrounding Teanaway Valley, are very important to 8/3/2017 5:23 PM me and my family for longstanding hunting, angling, hiking and wildlife viewing traditions. We love the area, and visit it often. However we are very concerned that increasing visitation, unnecessary development (including too many roads, trails and amenities) and motorized recreation threaten this special place. Please, preserve the conservation and quiet recreation values of the Teanaway. My family and future generations should be able to enjoy hiking, wildlife watching, or hunting deer, elk and turkeys in this special place without intrusion from either ATVS or dirtbikes, or large groups looking for a National Park-like experience. That is not what the Teanaway was purchased for, and there are plenty of other public access areas in our state were either experience is available. Please, keep the Teanaway accessible, yet wild and quiet for those of us who love it. 337 Motorcycles and horse back riders don't mix on sharing trails. Motorcycles should use the Taneum 8/3/2017 4:32 PM River trail system. 338 Motorized recreation should be either incredibly limited or not available in the TCF. There are 8/3/2017 4:14 PM many thousands of acres of motorized access in the Yakima Basin. The TCF should accommodate front country non motorized recreational opportunities that will adequately protect the Teanaway watershed.
339 No 8/3/2017 3:55 PM
340 Please limit any changes to environmentally friendly changes only. No motorized recreation or 8/3/2017 3:52 PM even equistrian as this is very disruptive to the indigenous wildlife. I would like to see lottery only permit based access. This area is home to spotted owls, wolves and many other species, we must do our part to prevent disruption to their natural habits. Please consider this and be conservative in your measures.
341 I think the retention of present non-motorized recreation rules in the forest is of the greatest 8/3/2017 3:29 PM importance. This standard offers the best protection for the land and habitat, offers the best recreational experience and conforms with historic management practices. I oppose opening more areas in the forest to motorized recreation. Our region already has many designated sacrifice zones where such use is allowed.
342 Please don't give over any more trails to motorized recreation. There are plenty of such trails 8/3/2017 3:24 PM already south of I-90 and east of Hwy 97. east of Highway 97 and south of I-90. The Teanaway Community Forest was purchased with watershed restoration and protection as a top priority, so let's keep that priority.
343 I sincerely hope that consideration is given to habitat for the endangered species and other fish 8/3/2017 3:23 PM and wildlife that dwell in this watershed. Motorized use is not compatible with preserving the watershed environment. There are other areas in the vicinity where motorized use is permitted. Motorized use is not compatible with hiking or horseback riding on the trails. Noise and terrain degradation are 2 reasons it is not. 344 Please don't allow motorized vehicle access to trails or roads behind barriers in the Teanaway. 8/3/2017 2:49 PM They should continue using all of the designated areas surrounding the Teanaway Comm Forest. 345 Would like to see more horse camping opportunities. 8/3/2017 2:38 PM 346 Thank you to the two state agencies and to the citizen committee for all their work. The Community 8/3/2017 2:20 PM Forest is very exciting and I'm most excited about new trails and better signage. I understand that all user groups want to be heard, but I am not in favor of motorized use. Legitimate motorized use by folks who want to get up into the woods, is a reasonable request and I'm all for that. But not noisy dirt bikes or four wheelers thinking they can go anywhere. I have had trucks trespass on my property in the early spring when the ground was still very wet and the ruts are still there! Again, thanks for all this fantastic effort!
347 Its important to share and create opportunities for all people, including motorized. 8/3/2017 1:33 PM 348 I prefer it to remain non-motorized or a few areas where motorized us is permitted. 8/3/2017 12:04 PM
349 I would like to see the area closed to motorcycle and ATV use. 8/3/2017 10:24 AM
106 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
350 I think designated camping is important. Natural areas for wildlife viewing, mushroom hunting, 8/3/2017 10:12 AM hunting and day hikes are a must. Motorized use should be in designated areas and have restrictions during the spring and/or fall when the wet moisture makes these areas difficult to access in emergencies. I have personal experience which necessitated walking out after a serious accident because the access road was impassible due to the rutted road conditions. Responsible use has to be a priority. 351 Develop this area as little as possible, improve the existing campgrounds, eliminate motorized off- 8/3/2017 9:07 AM road access, keep the cows out of the river, and cancel the Discover Pass requirement to use the area. 352 Motorcycle's should not be allowed on hiking trails due to their damaging effects i.e.: erosion 8/3/2017 8:26 AM 353 Don't F it up by getting the corrupt government agencies involved. 8/2/2017 9:46 PM 354 Target shooting needs to be kept to a designated place. Fires need to be banned earlier. 8/2/2017 7:35 PM 355 This is state land for all Washington residents, however is see requests for local participants. Your 8/2/2017 7:09 PM recent request as an example, from Kittitas County for committee member. 356 Do not want to see people with horeses, motor cycles or so on down our private road that clearly 8/2/2017 6:00 PM states dead end. Do not like to see bike activities that leave their garbage and signs behind. As owners we should be entitled to some privacy. 357 Recognize that there needs to be restrictions on use, but disappointed in lack of motorcycling 8/2/2017 5:12 PM opportunities. Would be willing to help more with trail restoration when I retire to the area.
358 We need more multiple use areas in this state. 8/2/2017 5:03 PM
359 There are many wonderful places there. Let's be sure to not open the area to lots more 8/2/2017 5:01 PM development, impact on the trails, and motorized uses.
360 Less fees and more family oppertunity 8/2/2017 4:03 PM
361 Sorry, on the above I am older and overweight and really could not help out at this time. We are 8/2/2017 3:44 PM trying to fix that.
362 I love the area and hope it stays open to All. 8/2/2017 3:25 PM
363 Don't change it too much. My family has visited annually for over 50 years except 1980 when Mt 8/2/2017 3:11 PM St Helens erupted. We love it the way it is!
364 I really believe the teannaway community forest would be an excellent place for a family freindly 8/2/2017 2:33 PM motorized trail system. I also want to see motorized access to the motorized national forest trails continue.
365 I engage in trail maintenance activities every year. 8/2/2017 2:27 PM
366 Less use of motorized vehicles such as dirt bikes, snowmobiles, four wheelers, etc. 8/2/2017 1:50 PM
367 As a PROPERTY OWNER IN THE WEST FORK DRAINAGE, I would like to see more motorized 8/2/2017 12:51 PM recreation and less free-range cattle. It is absurd that cattle can freely roam creeks, rivers, private property, trails, and along roadways but motorized recreation is highly limited or non-existent in relation to other forms of recreation. I have been documenting the seasonal damage of cattle throughout the TCF and it is frustrating to see the calculable damage that occurs with seemingly little regard by the advisory committee. There are many responsible motorcycle riders who would, and do, volunteer their time in maintaining our riding opportunities. Throughout the Eastern Slopes, there is little evidence of damage caused by off-road motorcycle use when compared to horses or free-range stock. It is important to allow for all recreation - equally - on public land. Off- highway motorcycle riders contribute to the local communities, and they also contribute in ways other sports don't: vehicle tabs, higher-value purchases (tax revenue), ORV licenses, Discover passes, and local contributions to gas stations and eateries. If hikers, bikers, horses, and cattle have access to our public land, you MUST allow for equal motorized recreation. P.S. As an off- highway motorcycle rider, AND a backpacker, I have seen no measurable impact to wildlife viewing opportunities, trail damage, noise pollution, or other forms of negative impact commonly associated with motorized use. Proper signage and proper trail use/rules posted at each trail head may help everyone understand what they can do, where they can go, and proper trail etiquette.
368 somewhat likely to volunteer - but really find the requirement of 24 hours for a free discover pass 8/2/2017 12:25 PM offputting. My time is worth more than $1.25 per hour, particularly when Seattle is moving to a $15/hr minimum wage. The entire Discover pass system disincentives volunteering, as if I have to pay, you can damn well do the work.
107 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
369 This area has incredible potential for mountainbiking. Places where people can stay for a few 8/2/2017 12:22 PM nights at a time would help facilitate volunteer opportunities for non-locals, as well as increase ones ability to fully utilize the area through biking, hiking, and swimming etc. It's very difficult to go ride here for example if I am coming from the West side of the state because I would have to drive upwards of 3 hours each way in the same day for one trail. The weather is desirable for those of us on the West side, especially in the mid-late Spring and early Fall. I can't wait to get back out here for some mountainbike/hiking trail work! 370 Motorcycles having access to trails would discourage me from using the area because of noise 8/2/2017 10:13 AM and other environmental impacts 371 I would like continued access to the entire Teanaway Community Forest for orienteering, 8/2/2017 10:04 AM adventure racing, and other map & compass navigation sports. There are few really large tracts of land that are suitable for these activities, so to have such a large area available for cross-country land navigation events is a rare and valuable resource. A parking lot to access the Lick Creek area (from North Fork Teanaway Road) would be really nice. It is a problem now, since the shoulder is steep, so it is difficult for many cars to park there for organized events. 372 Please do not allow expansion of any motorized activity on the TCF. Currently, there is a surplus 8/2/2017 9:58 AM of motorized trails and facilities in the greater Teanaway area and lands south of I-90. The TCF was purchased with watershed restoration and protection as a top priority – allowing expansion of such a destructive activity runs counter to these goals. 373 The loss of already established and historically open logging roads is a shame. Many generations 8/2/2017 7:51 AM have found memories of visits and drives down the trail/road system back to the 60's.
374 No moto 8/2/2017 7:00 AM
375 Please do not remove motorized access to the forest. My family and I grew up responsibly using 8/2/2017 5:34 AM the forest with our dirtbikes.
376 Identify the key road access needed. At about 3 mile intervals. Trails in between. Restrict 8/1/2017 10:55 PM motorized recreation off of these roads. Limited motor trails.
377 Please help convince children to protect our forests INCLUDING the acceptance of Climate 8/1/2017 9:06 PM Change as a direct result of littering!
378 Some of the roads need to be reopened access is extremely limited unless you use a motorcycle. 8/1/2017 5:27 PM
379 Kids really enjoy the area. Year round access and info kiosks are important. Rentals make the 8/1/2017 5:03 PM area too commercial. It's a great location to enjoy the quiet and serene landscape.
380 Please attempt to accommodate, yet segregate conflicting uses. Please focus on education 8/1/2017 5:03 PM instead of regimentation to guide use so that users are encouraged to make benefit the resource and reduce effects on other users.
381 You have added rules to the TCF that you don't seem to have enough DNR police to enforce. Also 8/1/2017 4:25 PM I would like to see provisions for the new pit toilets, the pre-existing toilets and portable toilets to be maintained and managed (TP?). Before DNR took over the Teanaway Campground the pit toilets were always well maintained and stocked. You've added more and advertised the campgrounds existence (read lots more people) added facilities but can't seem to maintain them. Disappointing! 382 Would like to see a management emphasis on non-motorized uses. 8/1/2017 3:26 PM 383 I would like to see it open to all forms recreation including motorized. Multi-use trails work well in 8/1/2017 12:35 PM other regions and can work well here. 384 I'm really upset seeing the push for motorized here. I come here because THERE IS NO 8/1/2017 11:56 AM MOTORIZED. I'm so tired of the motorized ruining all of our trails, and the types of people that come in with the motorized, who don't give a crap about forest cleanliness, or trail condition. They just want to go fast and have jumps. Please keep them OUT. 385 Please dont open it to oRV. Those people trash every area they have. They ruin the trails, and 8/1/2017 10:04 AM leave garbage all over. They don't care about the quality of their outdoor e perience. 386 I would prefer no motorized vehicles because of how they destroy trail systems and the amount of 7/31/2017 10:12 PM noise that can be heard for miles.
387 Protect and improve fish and wildlife habitat. Maintain and improve trails but make sure not to have 7/31/2017 8:44 PM too many roads/trails that it takes away from the experience.
108 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
388 Keep it primitive. Keep it undeveloped. Keep the recreation use costs down. Maintain/develop 7/31/2017 7:37 PM deeper more committing mountain bike/hike/equine trails. 389 This would be the best thing to do Bring in the $ in town and possibly Jobs 7/31/2017 7:24 PM 390 I love how primitive the area is and that. I reservations are needed. I think if reservations were 7/31/2017 7:03 PM required it would change the feeling and friendliness 391 Leave the horse camps stickily for the horse people and not allow no-horse people to camp in 7/31/2017 6:53 PM those sites. We have very few places as it is for us to bring our horse to and safely be able to camp. 392 More Motorized Access 7/31/2017 6:20 PM 393 please don't exclude all horse because of the inconsideration of a few 7/31/2017 6:19 PM 394 I would like to see some dirt bike trails be opened and access to the road systems with liscenced 7/31/2017 3:54 PM vehicles 395 Snowmobilers care for the land and are non-judgemental. 7/31/2017 3:40 PM 396 Less rules, more freedom. 7/31/2017 3:10 PM 397 Please do not shut out motorcycle riders - we are for the most part responsible users and stewards 7/31/2017 1:43 PM of the trail system. We can co-exist with the hikers and mt bikers. 398 Please, please, please do not allow ATV in the Teanaway. It would ruin it. 7/31/2017 12:50 PM
399 Leave it wild and undeveloped and get rid of the discover pass requirement. It seems ridiculous to 7/31/2017 12:33 PM have to buy a pass to visit unimproved lands and add to the fact that there is no nearby place to even by one you are limiting access by people who pass through and want to stop and just take a look at the forest. Nice way to keep people at home in front of there screens.... I used to volunteer to work on trials and now I have to pay to just park on the side of the road? No more.
400 Money was stolen from the Snowmobile Fund to help obtain this forest. I fully expect snowmobiling 7/31/2017 12:28 PM opportunities to be at the forefront of all future forest planning.
401 Motorized vehicles will ruin the Teanaway. Please keep them out. My 8yo daughter has almost 7/31/2017 12:28 PM been hit on trail by ATVs and motor bikes seven times now. Have some instances on film. SEVEN TIMES!
402 Better mapping of area and signs or markings to designated specific trails or points of interest. 7/31/2017 11:52 AM
403 Stop making it into a recreational highway 7/31/2017 10:08 AM
404 Please don't take away the established trails for orv use during the summer/fall. I would be more 7/31/2017 8:32 AM than willing to pay an access fee to use the existing trail system for orvs. We always pack out what we bring.
405 Please keep horse camping and trails for this forrest. Also would like to see designated poop bins 7/31/2017 8:07 AM for the manure that volunteers van cone clean out monthly.
406 This land grab is disappointing and all parties involved should feel ashamed to call themselves an 7/31/2017 12:10 AM American 407 If the entire forest is open to hunting, I won't use it because that would put my family at risk. 7/30/2017 11:50 PM 408 It's an unfortunately reality that people flying over from the Westside and beyond are going to 7/30/2017 8:23 PM make the Teanaway more overcrowded which is a significant concern. Not only will there be more people, they will tend towards being overly entitled REI types and clueless tailgaters who don't understand deer will jump out and total their fancy SUV. I was excited about the Teanaway Community Forest at first and attended the early meetings. But I now realize that for those of us who live here and know it, the Teanaway would have been far better off without having gone public and having the masses "discover" it. 409 Na 7/30/2017 6:57 PM 410 As a post baby boomer, I feel your limitations to motorized vehicles is disenfranchisement persons 7/30/2017 5:56 PM of our age. We cannot hike anymore but certainly do enjoy being in the forest.
411 Please try to keep motorized vehicles to a minimum. 7/30/2017 3:56 PM 412 Open the established road system to properly permitted vehicles. 7/30/2017 3:45 PM
109 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
413 Keep some trails that are non-motorized so that hikers and horseback riders are able to enjoy their 7/30/2017 1:20 PM experience exclusively. 414 Keep it open to snowmobiles!! 7/30/2017 11:49 AM 415 It would be good for wildlife and nature watching to restrict motorized use (especially during mating 7/30/2017 10:12 AM and nesting seasons). 416 no 7/30/2017 9:28 AM 417 Ensure public access to all public land. 7/30/2017 8:58 AM 418 Do not limit use to favor one recreation group over another. Respect existing uses of upper T 7/30/2017 8:49 AM basin trails that provide for challenging motorcycle riding. Do not convey to visitors that they can access the upper T basin trails while expecting a wilderness like experience. Educate them instead to be aware of existing use of trails that include motorcycles. 419 No mote riled access beyond what is allowed now. 7/30/2017 7:00 AM 420 Want trails open to atv use 7/30/2017 6:41 AM 421 Thank you for asking for input 7/30/2017 12:05 AM 422 Don't ruin it by allowing people to drive all over the place, I enjoy not seeing litter all over the 7/29/2017 11:23 PM backroads. Easy parking access and lifging eill attract people who don't really card for nature l.
423 Please make it easy for school groups and youth groups to have camping and backcountry 7/29/2017 10:26 PM experiences. (permits , group backcountry sites, ect)
424 Please leave it as natural as possible! 7/29/2017 6:05 PM
425 You can't have all types of recreation in one area. Think about use and vegetation/habitat for 7/29/2017 5:58 PM wildlife over people. We don't want public areas "loved to death!" The higher our population and a designated area with many amenities, the more people will come. Please try to keep the area so people will wish to visit and the Teanaway Community Forest is not over run.
426 Eventually there will be a need for overnight campground reservations as the population explodes. 7/29/2017 5:39 PM Warning signs to hikers during the hunting season. Many are oblivious.
427 Please keep a majority of the trail system non motorized. Nothing against motorized users but they 7/29/2017 5:02 PM definitely change the experience for the non motorized users when we have to share.
428 Please make this a roadless area that prohibits the use of motorized vehicles, OHVs etc. 7/29/2017 3:52 PM
429 Keep the Wilderness Wild... 7/29/2017 12:34 PM
430 Prefer non motorized use only 7/29/2017 10:37 AM
431 No more limiting regulations !! 7/29/2017 8:24 AM
432 As a frequent Teanaway visitor from Roslyn, I love the outdoor opportunities currently available. 7/29/2017 8:07 AM My hope is the old trail system (old logging roads, single track, hiking trails...) is maintained and/or improved. 433 Develop a Jeep trail system that allows older folks who can't hike, bike, or horse, to have equal 7/29/2017 7:25 AM access that forest. 434 Please keep motorized vehicles out! 7/29/2017 6:29 AM 435 Allow for trails inaccessible by car for the use of moderate 4x4 users to enjoy the area. (Logging 7/28/2017 9:32 PM roads are still discernable for use with limited maintenance if closed during off-season) 436 I have been camping at the Teanaway River since I was a child. I still like going b/c it hasn't 7/28/2017 7:19 PM changed. Hoping it doesn't get paved/become fee area/small designated spots. 437 Orv use, keeps and motorcycles should absolutely be permitted. It shouldn't be called a 7/28/2017 6:25 PM community forest when the feelings of some outway the rights of others. It's a restricted forest with limited access as is. The bulk of locals want access and they've been pushed out by overzealous regulations 438 Try to keep it as natural as possible. Accessibility to the masses should be somewhat limited, so it 7/28/2017 6:19 PM doesn't become over-used. 439 When I retire back to Upper County in a few years, I hope that I will make time to volunteer and 7/28/2017 5:03 PM care for trails. The Teanaway area holds my best memories.
110 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
440 enjoy volunteer trail work when I retire. 7/28/2017 2:05 PM 441 Keep it non-motorized. Motorized trails lead to cross-country use, increased erosion, and wildlife 7/28/2017 11:38 AM disturbances. Noise infringes on my enjoyment of the area. 442 enforcement is an issue, when trying to enjoy the tranquility of areas that are off limits to motorized 7/28/2017 11:33 AM vehicles just to have a gang of motorcyclists fly by is very disheartening. 443 need to expand Indian camp horse camping area &install a manure dumping area I the Oregon 7/28/2017 11:13 AM horse camps. 444 The geology of the area is interesting. Information signs, if added, could include geologic 7/28/2017 11:07 AM information about the rock types, ages and structure. 445 Need ATV areas 7/28/2017 10:29 AM 446 Please don't exclude some motorized single track for Dualsport access from town into the upper 7/28/2017 8:13 AM Teanaway and a motorized loop trail in the TCF. 447 Almost all of Kittitas County is heavily motorized. Let's please keep the Teanaway non-motorized 7/28/2017 6:34 AM 448 Personally, I would like to keep this area as wild as possible. It's one of the few areas in the state 7/28/2017 6:12 AM that is readily accessible, but completely wild a few feet from the road. Adding lots of improvements i.e. Off road parking at trail heads and more connector trails will increase usage, but to the detriment of the forest. I'm all for adding pit toilets and dumpsters;make it easy for people to get rid of their waste responsibly. I don't believe that this area would benefit from increased usage. What makes it unique is the fact that there are limited options for getting into most area. Please keep this area remote! 449 Please do not allow hunting/guns, or off road motorized vehicles! 7/28/2017 6:04 AM
450 No 7/27/2017 11:36 PM
451 would like to see dirtbike accessible roads & trails 7/27/2017 10:56 PM
452 Motorized vehicles on hiking trails ruins the experience and is unsafe. 7/27/2017 10:53 PM
453 As a hiker and a mountain biker who owns a motorcycles and a snowmobile. I am asking you to 7/27/2017 9:48 PM keep the TCF a place of conservation and solitude that supports hikers, mountain bikers and horse back riders. All of these groups will avoid the TCF if motorized are allowed, just as we avoid, tanem, fishhook flats, table mountain, north Ridge and numerous other recreation areas. I would rather pay a fee to access TCF to prevent motorized use. Please, please protect this special place. It should be protected and conserved. 454 I feel that because of the limited size of the forest and the sensitive nature of the Geological 7/27/2017 8:57 PM features as well as biological diversity in the forest, prohibiting use of ORV, ATV's and motorcycles within the forest is imperative. If motorized use is approved it should be mandator to have Forest Rangers patrolling and enforcing regulations.
455 I have been keeping the trails open since 1967 and have reopened cow and elk trails for horse 7/27/2017 8:50 PM use. To allow motorized use in the Teanaway would DESTROY this beautiful area. We love the peace and quiet and to be able to view the many species of wildlife there via horseback 456 I don't know who got the Community Forest set up, but I wish I could thank them. 7/27/2017 8:50 PM 457 There already appears to be an environmentalist movement to make it a "tree hugger only" 7/27/2017 7:51 PM paradise. I have lived here all my life and believe that opportunities should include every user group. This land was formerly managed for timber harvest by Boise Cascade. When that company dissolved it was managed by American Forest Resources. It was then acquired by an east coast individual who planned extensive development. He subsequently sold it to the State. It should be available for all to enjoy. Unfortunately the current Commissioner of Public Lands was the former CEO of Futurewise. A well funded, Westside environmental organization. This group has used the courts to gain their preferred outcomes. They have filed lawsuits against every county in the State to fulfill their agenda. I guess only time will tell.
458 Would be happy to volunteer to work on trails except I live in the Vancouver, WA area, belong to a 7/27/2017 7:28 PM BCHW group down here and work on trails in the Gifford Pinchot forest and Mount St. Helens Monument. 459 More motorized recreation 7/27/2017 7:02 PM
460 It does not seem like there are going to be many options for OHV use. There are National Forest 7/27/2017 6:58 PM trails for OHV's that tie into the state land. Will I still be able to access them?
111 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
461 Don't let western Wa take over with their idiot ideas ! 7/27/2017 6:48 PM 462 It seems DNR is very against horse camping due to signage in restrooms. Unfortunate for us!!! 7/27/2017 6:47 PM 463 Would be nice to have a separate horse camp with ample parking, pull through sites, and small 7/27/2017 5:53 PM corrals at each camp site. Most horse camps in Oregon are set up this way and they are fantastic. Keep the ORV's in Manastash please. 464 I would love to volunteer but am 70 years old with a bum arm and shoulder 7/27/2017 5:32 PM 465 Our family loves the Teanaway Forest. I'd like to see it preserved for our future generations to 7/27/2017 5:22 PM enjoy! 466 This survey makes me very excited for the area! 7/27/2017 5:06 PM 467 Much more forest health work. FULL time WCC crew engaged in RX Fire, Fuels reduction, and 7/27/2017 5:00 PM Rex work. More WCC equals more jobs and opportunities for local young adults. Furthermore the cost benifits of a full time crew can not be matched any where else. 468 Please don't allow open access for all vehicle types. The current split use of hikers/horses in some 7/27/2017 5:00 PM areas and wheeled vehicles, motorized and nonmotorized, in others is the safest for all. 469 I look forward to hear more about facilities for recreation in this lovely area! 7/27/2017 4:50 PM 470 I do not support expanding the motorized trail system in the Teanaway beyond the 3 trails that are 7/27/2017 3:26 PM currently open. These lands were acquired to protect and restore the watersheds for fisheries and clean water. ORV use runs counter to this primary purpose. This area also provides important habitat for wolves, wolverine, spotted owls, elk and other critters that are sensitive to noise and ORV use and impacts. I enjoy the quiet for hiking, hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, and berry picking - primary activities in which I engage. There is abundant ORV use opportunity south of I- 90. 471 The TCF is one of the only wilderness areas that is so close and convenience 7/27/2017 3:06 PM
472 More area for equestrian camping 7/27/2017 3:04 PM
473 No motorized vehicles or bikes on sensitive back country and high country trails 7/27/2017 2:43 PM
474 Please keep ORV use to the FS roads only. There are very few front country places for hikers, bird 7/27/2017 2:41 PM watchers and horseback riders without ORVs. They ruin trails, the scare off wildlife ( spotted owls, wolves and birds) and destroy streams.
475 Make it more and more wild, so that recreation, wildlife study, hunting and local residents can live 7/27/2017 2:38 PM peacefuly together.
476 There should be no expansion of motorized trail use beyond the status quo. 7/27/2017 2:31 PM
477 Forest Service budgets have been slashed. Logging is what has mostly paid for road maintenance 7/27/2017 2:21 PM in the past. What is the community forest doing to share costs on road maintenance?
478 More orv trails for quads!!!!!! 7/27/2017 2:10 PM
479 Shooting range would be nice 7/27/2017 1:35 PM 480 There is a lot of room for all kinds of trail difficulties, styles and user groups. I think user groups 7/27/2017 1:35 PM should have certain trails that they maintain and use. As a mountain bike and motorcycle rider we already maintain trails as we can't climb over dead fall like a hiker. As a hiker I prefer a hiking trail but if the hiking/horse and moto/bike trails all arrive at the same look out then I think it would be fine and maybe even open up positive communication between user groups. We all can get along. There are lots of hiking only areas in the state and this area has been heavily ridden by motos for 50 years so please don't take it away. Thank you. 481 I am against opening up the Teanaway to motorized recreation, due to noise and destruction of the 7/27/2017 1:34 PM environment. 482 I prefer less motorized use. 7/27/2017 1:10 PM 483 Keep it pristine and non motorized 7/27/2017 1:04 PM
484 Keep motors out completely. Focus on hiking and hikers, by far the largest user group. Do not 7/27/2017 12:03 PM cater to or appease mountain bikers or give them hiker trails.
112 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
485 You'll get a lot of people that say the forest is for hiking only. This is not true. The forest belongs to 7/27/2017 11:09 AM everyone, and everyone deserves to enjoy it- regardless of how they enjoy it, or any difficulties or limitations they may have. 486 Please keep motorized vehicles/ORV's out of the teanaway forest! 7/27/2017 11:05 AM 487 Don't ruin what makes the Teanaway great for the sake of tourism. The less motorized options the 7/27/2017 10:54 AM better. 488 Multi use is very important in upper county.motirized access needs to better 7/27/2017 10:44 AM 489 thanks for having this community forest available 7/27/2017 10:22 AM 490 Don't let it become what we see in other places, "loved to death." Garbage, rutted landscapes, 7/27/2017 10:13 AM signs everywhere, noise pollution are not positive recreational experiences. 491 We have been camping at the campground on the West Fork (near Bible Rock) for about 50 years 7/27/2017 10:04 AM (when it was owned by logging companies!) Sometimes, noisy groups can be an annoyance. Perhaps having a "host" would address this problem. I don't know. More likely, a camping fee would; consequently, I we would be in favor of a fee. Incidentally, we often stayed with friends, the Crosettos, who have sold their property to a land trust so that it will, I think, be available to the public. Robert Dunshee 206 322 8846 [email protected] 492 Open all F.S. roads to All motorized vehicles. 7/27/2017 9:46 AM 493 Quit planting wolves and grizzlies, decrease the number of cougar and black bear! Hound Hunting 7/27/2017 8:57 AM keeps their numbers in check and helps them be afraid of man .... spend some time out from behind your desk with kids and their dog! Camp in the area ...
494 limit off road motorized use and much more patrols to enforce all camping and user groups 7/27/2017 8:26 AM
495 Keep up the great work. The area is a gem and the improvements to this point have been 7/27/2017 8:18 AM awesome. More trails, more access and I'll spend more money in the area.
496 There is room for all uses in the TCF. Management is clearly important but please don't allow one 7/27/2017 8:04 AM interest group to exclude another because they don't approve of a particular recreation type. (i.e. Motorized use).
497 Thanks for presenting this survey opportunity 7/27/2017 7:14 AM
498 Equal access for motorized and non-motorized users is key. This is public land owned by our 7/27/2017 7:02 AM government. It's bad enough the governement allowed the Nature Conservancy to hijack so much land in the area with an uncertain futures. It's wrong for the government to lock out all motorized use from TCF. Plenty of room to give all user groups areas to recreate. I understand managing that is a difficult task but it can and should be done. Thanks for listening
499 Keep the motorized visiters out! Terrain, wildlife, floral, fauna and those who visit who love peace 7/27/2017 6:40 AM and quiet are harmed.
500 I feel it is very important to strive to preserve the forest and to educate those whom do not recreate 7/27/2017 6:31 AM in the forest often how to do it gently and respectfully. 501 I grew up in this area and would love for it to stay as open to all activities as possible. Would love to 7/27/2017 5:26 AM volunteer but I don't live in the area currently. 502 Motorized use is not a crime. Snowmobiles and motorcycles should continue to be allowed. There 7/27/2017 5:13 AM is plenty of wilderness area close by for those that want non motorized trails. 503 All recreational opportunities need to remain available to taxpayers, motorized and non motorized. 7/27/2017 4:42 AM All need to coexist with respect for rules, environment, and each other. 504 Please find a way to allow some motorized dirtbike and ATV use. Thank you 7/27/2017 4:32 AM 505 keep it non-motorized 7/27/2017 3:46 AM 506 It's a "community" property. All people should be allowed to use it with proper permits and 7/27/2017 1:24 AM designated trails and roads for the vehicles allowed. Not just hikers and horses but everyone . " Community" means everyone!
113 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
507 Please consider carefully the issues of allowing expansion of motorized activity in the TCF. 7/26/2017 11:58 PM Currently, there is a surplus of motorized trails and facilities in the upper basin - it is not necessary in the TCF and would go against the main reason the TCF was protected: watershed restoration and protection. Not to mention developing and maintaining trails to hold up to that type of use is very expensive - who has that kind of money? The TCF has been operating on a shoestring as it is. We need to restore the watershed, protect the land for wildlife, allow some reasonable quiet recreation, and focus on directing limited resources to making sure there are some great hikes to great vistas. 508 Please, please keep the Teanaway motor free. It is one of the beautiful things about the 7/26/2017 11:21 PM Community Forest area. Most other recreational opportunities for mountain bikes in the area have to contend with the noise, speed and destruction from motorized off-road vehicles. Thank you. 509 Motorized trail use should only be on the 3 existing USFS trails. Need some place that quiet for 7/26/2017 11:11 PM wildlife and people. 510 I would appreciate continued orienteering access to the entire Teanaway valley, and better parking 7/26/2017 10:54 PM near the area just north of Lick Creek off of the North Teanaway road. 511 This area is centrally located in the State and as such, it's a good destination for those who camp 7/26/2017 10:35 PM with stock. As a member of Back Country Horsemen we want to work with equestrian users to practice LNT to preserve our right to use the community forest. Creating facilities to help manage this would greatly enhance everyone's experience.
512 Would love to see continued access for orienteering. This is one of the best locations in the state 7/26/2017 9:54 PM for orienteering, with a variety of relatively open terrain.
513 No 7/26/2017 9:08 PM
514 Utv trails with this much acreage and I know lots of utv and side by side ethuiesit that want more 7/26/2017 9:07 PM rideable area and would volunteer for trail brush clearing and maintaing also with debris litter clean up
515 The traditional open use that existed prior to pur base by the state should be expanded and 7/26/2017 8:57 PM encouraged. The entire forest should be open to all users with no restricted areas. If any type of user abuses the forest there should penalties but notarized users should not be penalized before they even get to the forest. No more restrictions on ATV's either.
516 Open up the roads for recreational driving and limited ORV 7/26/2017 8:49 PM
517 I believe there are a few improvements that would be helpful, however, there are fine trails in use 7/26/2017 8:04 PM already. Maintenance is all that is needed
518 Please preserve these lands in public ownership. Provide recreational (non-motorized) and forest 7/26/2017 7:53 PM production opportunities. Providing these sorts of activities on our lands only makes sence. Tiger Mountain State Forest is a good example of land management. It is both recreational and does have forest timber production. It would be great to have more land preserved in that approach.
519 The Teanaway is a wonderful opportunity and location for recreational uses such as horseback 7/26/2017 7:39 PM riding. It always has been, and we'd like to see this opportunity expanded and not reduced. 520 need more access for motorized recreation 7/26/2017 7:32 PM 521 I would like to be able to ride my atv on trails in the Teanaway community forest. 7/26/2017 7:22 PM 522 Allow motorized access. 7/26/2017 7:09 PM 523 I think we should strive to include all potential users of the TCF. Enforcement of rules and 7/26/2017 7:00 PM regulation will always be an issue as there is a very small percentage of each user group that becomes a problem. Somehow we need to find the funds for enforcement. 524 Allow group equestrian events (endurance ride) with sufficient space for parking with horses and 7/26/2017 6:39 PM trailers, for 50+ rigs 525 Traditional use single track ORV trails need to be opened back up. These trails have a fraction of 7/26/2017 6:33 PM the impact on water quality and wildlife of logging and life stock grazing, and in many instances pack animals. Minor rerouting in sensitive areas is all that is required.
114 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
526 The purchase of the Teanaway was sold to the public on a multiple use model. Active forest 7/26/2017 6:20 PM management and sustainable timber harvest should be used to generate revenue to fund any recreation improvements and maintenance of the road infrastructure. If such income is insufficient, a user fee system should be implemented. The accessory economic benefits of marginally increased recreation in the Community Forest (relative to use when the Teanaway was privately held) are not sufficient in and of themselves to justify the $90MM investment of public monies. 527 We have, on occasion packed out cases of other's discarded beer bottles. Not everyone 7/26/2017 6:18 PM appreciates how sacred our wilderness areas truly are. Nowadays, age and disability interfere with performing such voluntary tasks. 528 I hope sxs's are welcome and thought of for any developement. 7/26/2017 6:17 PM 529 All in all leave it as is. 7/26/2017 6:14 PM 530 Off-highway vehicle access is a must. It provides a legal and safe place for families to camp 7/26/2017 5:26 PM together outdoors and brings additional economic advantages to neighboring cities. 531 There are ample areas for moto sports in other forests. Their access should be limited but not 7/26/2017 5:25 PM banned. ADA access should accommodate some access for people who need to be driven in. 532 Provide motorized recreation away from hiking 7/26/2017 5:11 PM 533 The UTV/ATV community loves this area. More designated legal riding will result in more $$$ we 7/26/2017 5:07 PM Spend there and support from many riding groups in the form of volunteerism and $$.
534 I would like to see more roads available for use by any street legal vehicle (including street legal 7/26/2017 4:47 PM wheeled ATV's (side-by-sides).
535 Increase motorized users options. 7/26/2017 4:39 PM
536 ATV RIDEING .LESS DAMAGE THEN DIRT BIKES 7/26/2017 4:38 PM
537 Please bring ATV/UTV trails to the area! There are large groups of very respectful riders that love 7/26/2017 4:27 PM to enjoy the outdoors from their ATV/UTV. Many groups would organize trail cleanup and improvement projects!
538 As part of a family that has private property in the forest, I have run into many motorized 7/26/2017 3:45 PM recreators on my property because they were the fastest trails to get to public land. Please stop promoting and allowing motorized recreation as the damage they do to the trails, riparian areas, vegetation, and wildlife is much worse than the "fun" for the few.
539 I would not like it to be over controlled but I think designated campsites might make sense. 7/26/2017 3:32 PM
540 To really insure that I would come to TCF, I would have to have designated large horse trailer 7/26/2017 3:25 PM parking spot with high line poles in place. Roads that will accommodate large living quarters / horse trailers.
541 This is a great area for orienteering, which is mainly what I do there. Please keep open access for 7/26/2017 3:10 PM this low impact sport.
542 please preserve the horseback opportunities in this beautiful area 7/26/2017 2:51 PM 543 I appreciate the opportunity to answer these questions about one of my favorite spring climbing 7/26/2017 2:24 PM areas! 544 There is an old logging railroad present in the forest. If information boards are provided some local 7/26/2017 2:16 PM history of this railroad is desired. 545 The only reason I don't use the area more is that it is too far for day visits usually for me. I live in 7/26/2017 2:07 PM Yelm but will always go to riding areas further away from Yelm when I have longer than a day. 546 It is such a unique opportunity, I hope generations hence will look back and be thankful for the 7/26/2017 1:57 PM decisions we are making today. 547 Keep it wild. Little if any motorized vehicle access. 7/26/2017 1:53 PM 548 It is a well loved area, hopefully lots of restrictions are not in the plans. Could use more 7/26/2017 1:44 PM informational signage about exactly where is OK to camp and methods of LNT horsecamping. Many people are uninformed.
115 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
549 I own a dirt bike and thoroughly enjoy motorized recreation. However, this Community Forest could 7/26/2017 1:35 PM be one of the few quiet, easily accessible valleys where families can recreate on public land without having to contend with the noise and damage to the habitat that motorcycles inevitably cause. If the primary purpose of the Community Forest is to protect watersheds and habitat, the motorized vehicle community has proven, through continued illegal use of the area, that they are not to be trusted with the responsibility of complying with the rules needed to create a healthy Community Forest. 550 I support using these lands not just for what humans can get out of them, but also for the value 7/26/2017 1:34 PM they provide to wildlife and the non-human world. Humans have plenty, and always want more. Perhaps we can conduct ourselves so to respect habitat, wildlife, etc. I am firmly against motorized take-over of these lands. 551 We are in Back Country Horseman and volunteer to be able to keep trails open for stock use. An 7/26/2017 1:11 PM equine camp host would be a huge help to keep a limited few folks from ruining the camping experience for those of us who practice LNT. Having the horse camp adopted by a chapter of BCHW would go a long way to improving the facilities for all equine users. Thank you. 552 The cattle and the fencing seems at odds with habitat enhancement and recreation accces. And a 7/26/2017 1:08 PM very unwise use of public funds. 553 I hope ATV/motorcycle access to the TCF does not become a priority. I think there is too much 7/26/2017 12:58 PM potential for damage to the environment and wildlife with this type of use.
554 thank you for the work to protect this gorgeous area that we love! 7/26/2017 12:52 PM
555 more access for motorized activities please. 7/26/2017 12:51 PM
556 We need more motorized access to let all the public have access not just the few. 7/26/2017 12:34 PM
557 Needs to be reopened for dirt bike riding. It went on for 5 decades without any problems before the 7/26/2017 12:30 PM state bought the land. I have been riding up there for over 30 years. I've personally cleared more trail than all other user groups combined. Not fair to shut out the primary user group while the bureaucrats "study". At 53, I don't have a lot of time for people to decide what to do, I have a few good years of riding left, then I will be too old. Open it please!!!!! (yes, I am pleading at this point).
558 My main interest is in the First Creek section of the TCF. I would like to make sure there is still 7/26/2017 12:20 PM some sort of rude pathway thru that section connecting hwy 97 to the Forest Service Road 3506 for emergency fire evacuation. I would also be interested in volunteering for trail development and maintenance in that area.
559 Better parking off of N Teanaway Road, just north of Lick Creek, please. 7/26/2017 11:36 AM
560 Lots of potential for hiking within the TCF, but right now my impression is that much of it is for 7/26/2017 11:26 AM motorized vehicles so I avoid it and go up to Forest Service land in the Teanaway basin.
561 I really enjoy orienteering in the area. It is beautiful terrain and challenging courses being in a 7/26/2017 11:18 AM forest!
562 The goal should not be to attract more people to the forest, because it will increase fire danger 7/26/2017 11:13 AM and ruin the experience 563 limit motorized use! 7/26/2017 11:12 AM 564 More motorized access for dirt bikes! 7/26/2017 10:58 AM 565 Ban dirt bikes completely and entirely. Kittitas County gave access to licensed dirt bikes to transit 7/26/2017 10:55 AM TCF on county roads to the 3 trail-heads into the USFS lands. They should repeal that access. If not, that's the ONLY access that should ever be made available. 566 My willingness to volunteer with my family will be directly linked to ongoing support of winter 7/26/2017 10:49 AM motorized access. 567 We love the teanaway. Especially the rustic nature and the lower volumes of people. The ease of 7/26/2017 10:38 AM access is great too. Protect the wildness and animals please.
568 The Teanaway use to be a beautiful area. There is already too much motorized camping and a 7/26/2017 10:24 AM lack of enforcement or control to maintain vegetation, roads, etc. I support a fee system that will go towards restoration if this is too continue. Enforcement is key and fees should help with hiring enforcement to maintain peace and quiet...and maintain the landscapes and rivers. Thanks.
116 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
569 Rising human populations, especially in the Seattle metro area, has resulted in dramatic increases 7/26/2017 10:20 AM in use of the Teanaway region. Improving and managing recreation on the TCF is critical. In particular, motorized use should be limited and non-motorized us expanded as the non-motorized hiking/backpacking/tent camping communities, while not as outspoken and organized as motorized groups or equestrian and bike groups, comprises the largest component of outdoor recreation. Many thanks to the agencies and groups that nurtured the TCF and are now working on long-term planning and management. 570 This is a beautiful place for bringing family to enjoy horseback riding and fishing. Camping here is 7/26/2017 10:09 AM great now and could be made better. The idea that we will not be able to ride our horses or mules is not one that I would like too see gone. 571 Let the people enjoy the area.My boys were raised in this area. I would not like to see my Grand 7/26/2017 9:54 AM children enjoy it. 572 Please keep watershed health as the top priority. 7/26/2017 9:37 AM 573 This is public land and access should be shared by all. It is ridiculous that motorized access (dirt 7/26/2017 9:23 AM bikes) has all but disappeared in the area. There are many trails that were made by dirt bikes and ridden for years. But now they are hiking only. Please explain how that is fair. Do you know of any public land that does not allow hiking on dirt bike trails? Plenty of area for us all to enjoy the public land so lets work together. 574 My visiting and camping in the TCF is going to result from access being provided to motorized 7/26/2017 9:18 AM trails. There are a lot of folks with 4x4, ATV and Dirt Bike families who would love to (once again) come over to Cle Elum from the Seattle side and recreate as they have for so many years in the past. Words like "the coal piles" or "Bull Frog Flats" mean a lot to them and their kids who were raised there and are now adults. Please once again provide motorized access. Thank you!
575 Please remember this is supposed to remain a WORKING forest as well as a place to recreate! 7/26/2017 9:12 AM Healthy forests don't just happen, management is needed!
576 Please don't allow motorized vehicles into the TCF and allow money to rule that decision. I see 7/26/2017 9:08 AM loss of wildlife viewing, difficulty with grazing cattle, no money to repair the damage (erosion) caused by motorized vehicles. The TCF will no longer be a place to view wildlife and enjoy the peace and quiet. I have seen first hand what has happened when motorized vehicles were allowed into an area. Tahuya is a good example of an area that has been taken over by motorized vehicles and for that reason you see a limited number of other users. It actually became dangerous to hike, bike or ride there. If you want to see the damage that motorized vehicles cause, go up to Buck Meadows in the Manastash. There are roads that are inaccessible to all other users because of the damage and erosion, plus meadows where mudding has occurred. You can't police areas to prevent this from happening. We recently visited Joe Watt and enjoyed seeing deer along the trail, but it was short lived when we could hear a loud motorbike all the way across the other canyon. We enjoy seeing the wildlife who peacefully watch us go by, we enjoy seeing cattle resting under the trees. We enjoy navigating trails and roads that have not been rutted and eroded by motorized use. I want to see the TCF remain an area "protected" from motorized vehicles. 577 Opportunities for motorcycles need to be made available on this taxpayer purchased land. 7/26/2017 9:05 AM 578 Please do not allow motorized vehicle use in the TCF. Motorcycles and ATV damage the trails 7/26/2017 9:00 AM and disturb the peace. Also recreational target practice with firearms is rampant and should not be allowed. It's dangerous for hikers and horseback riders. It too disturbs the peace. 579 Central WA forests provide excellent recreational opportunities and should remain available to the 7/26/2017 9:00 AM public. 580 I have unlimited non-motorized opportunities in the cascades and around the TCF, but we need 7/26/2017 8:56 AM motorized recreation on this gov purchased land. 581 Do not allow motorized use of the TCF. They already are using the TCF illegally and pushing the 7/26/2017 8:56 AM grazing cows and wildlife away. They already have other areas to destroy. 582 We would prefer to see the heaviest use be non-motorized, however... respectful trail use by all 7/26/2017 8:05 AM with an understanding for the different users interests and safety would be ideal. We'd like to see more trail use etiquette education. ie: share, safely and politely...
583 Key to successful use of this area is the enforcement of the rules! Will there be a consequence for 7/26/2017 7:59 AM the breaking of them that is consistent, fair, and enforceable?

584 Would love to see motorized (motorcycles and ATV) riding opportunities return to the forest. It was 7/26/2017 7:44 AM one of the few lower elevation areas to open for riding in the spring 585 Wonderful place to horseback ride with a lot of trails and beautiful views. 7/26/2017 7:41 AM 586 We are okay with summer motorizes vehicles being very limited, but snowmobiles need to 7/26/2017 7:20 AM maintain broad access because of they're tiny environmental and social impact. Thanks! 587 Would prefer no motorized activities in the Teanaway Community Forest. If allowed keep areas 7/26/2017 7:19 AM restricted and separate from hiking/skiing/snowshoe areas. 588 Please eliminate motorized off road use. It disrupts wildlife and the peaceful natural environment 7/26/2017 7:18 AM for others. 589 Would like to see toilets, tables and fire pits if required 7/26/2017 7:02 AM 590 Orienteering is my favorite activity in the area; please work with Cascade Orienteering Club and 7/26/2017 6:34 AM others to allow as much orienteering as possible each year. 591 I would like to see multi use trails throughout. I am an avid outdoorsman that enjoys motorized and 7/26/2017 6:29 AM non motorized recreation. Myself, friends and family spend a tremendous amount of time and money in the area. Should we start to see more land and trail closures we will leave the community. Thank you 592 The TCF needs to opened to all members of the community. Current rules/regulations discriminate 7/26/2017 5:49 AM against persons with disabilities that cannot hike or fly fish. The forest should be open to all with less restrictions.
593 Keep it wild! 7/26/2017 5:07 AM
594 I would love to keep as much of the area as possible open for orienteering (off-trail running). It 7/26/2017 4:48 AM would be a bonus to have the option for (non-tent) accommodation and refreshments nearby.
595 Please restrict motorized recreation 7/26/2017 3:49 AM
596 We should limit the ability for private ownership and mining claim to be by grandfather clause only. 7/25/2017 11:34 PM No further parcels should be sold. It would be good to have a buy back program for existing claims and private land parcels.
597 Ban motorized use, with exception of snow machines in designated areas in winter. Too 7/25/2017 10:41 PM dangerous.
598 This area is ideal for family oriented motorized uses such as trail motorcycle riding and 7/25/2017 10:29 PM snowmobiling. It should be managed for those uses before all other uses.
599 We had hoped to take part in an organized endurance ride this year utilizing existing trails and 7/25/2017 9:44 PM roads but that did not occur. I would like to see sanctioning of an event such as that available in the future as the area is beautiful and conducive to equestrian use and enjoyment.
600 I want access for orienteering activities throughout the entire Teanaway Valley. Better parking just 7/25/2017 9:39 PM north of Lick Creek on the North Teanaway Road. 601 Heavy fines for littering and shooting in non designated areas. Manure pits for equestrians. 7/25/2017 9:36 PM 602 Not s fan of the cows grazing in the summer. 7/25/2017 9:32 PM 603 We are too old to get to the area with motorized vehicles including atvs and quads....we will have 7/25/2017 9:29 PM our favorite place in the world eliminated from our life if we can't use them year round. 604 This survey largely excludes potential infrastructure for offroad, single track motorcycle trails and 7/25/2017 9:26 PM related camping. Most dirt bikers are enthusiasts that participate in trail maintenance and caring for the areas we ride in. There are great single track moto trails in the basin because of the USFS lands, but there is huge opportunity for a larger network that could also be used by hikers, horses, and hunters. We can co-exist. 605 Opportunities for motorized recreation areas would be great! 7/25/2017 9:03 PM 606 You are doing a great job of keeping the community forest accessible. Keep up the good work and 7/25/2017 9:00 PM THANKS.
607 Keep it simple and how it is no need to attract more people it's the only place the locals have left 7/25/2017 8:58 PM 608 I strongly oppose any increase in allowing motorized use of the TCF 7/25/2017 8:58 PM
118 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
609 I would like to see a balance of designated facilities and opportunities to explore the wild 7/25/2017 8:37 PM unimproved areas 610 Leave it alone. The uniqueness of the Teanaway is because it has remained somewhat secret for 7/25/2017 8:28 PM so many years. This area is fragile and not large enough to sustain the traffic that promoting it will bring. 611 I like that the Teanaway is not crawling with people. I like that it's a place I can enjoy without 7/25/2017 8:22 PM running into someone very often. It's nice and private. I think providing more accommodations like lodging or even marked trails, could take away from it's serenity. 612 I'd like to see it non motorized 7/25/2017 8:12 PM 613 Designated trails and areas for motorized and non motorized activities would be best. Horses and 7/25/2017 8:07 PM motor bikes don't mix well. Motor bikes cannot hear horse travellers and disaster often ensues when motor bikes are traveling fat around corners. 614 No Motorcycles! 7/25/2017 8:04 PM 615 Motorized recreation areas are available in other nearby locations. The TCF should be reserved 7/25/2017 7:57 PM for non-motorized recreation to protect habitat and wildlife. 616 Keep local residents in the planning and discussions 7/25/2017 7:40 PM 617 Motorized use of the Teanaway area has long been a tradition and should remain so. 7/25/2017 7:21 PM 618 I would like to be able to attend organized leave no trace trail runs and horseback riding events 7/25/2017 7:21 PM like endurance rides or competitive trail that would allow for camping.
619 Motorcycle riders bring money. Remember the slags ? 7/25/2017 7:17 PM
620 Please keep available for horseback riding. 7/25/2017 7:14 PM
621 Need more horse trails 7/25/2017 7:14 PM
622 I believe that there is room for all the different user groups to peacefully co-recreate in the 7/25/2017 7:00 PM Teanaway Community Forest.
623 The person in charge of authorizing use by equestrians seems to be very anti-horse! A friend tried 7/25/2017 6:56 PM very hard to get permission to hold an equestrian endurance ride--was met by negativity in all fronts--no, you cannot use the open area on the Middle Fork for a ride camp--it had previously been used for a fire camp the summer before, would not interfere with campers in nearby camp grounds--No, you cannot used the camp ground that had a few camping spots for horses, even though she had agreed to pick up manure following the event--Yes, you could use the camping area on the North Fork--Indian camp??--when it was patently too small for the number of horse rigs expected--and not well connected to the existing trail system--something the camping area on the Middle Fork was connected to. It appeared to me, and I was acting in an advisory position to this person, having managed endurance rides since 1990 in the National Forest, State Parks, and even on the Yakima Training Center--that the person she was applying to had absolutely zero interest in allowing any horse activity in that area. She even had the backing of the BOD of the Teanaway Community Forest -- NOT connected to the DNR. I suggest you revisit you policy regarding horse use in this area--the horsemen have just as much right to an enjoyable recreation event as any other user group. 624 I want to reiterate the need for quality designated equestrian camping facilities. Equestrians are 7/25/2017 6:40 PM key to trail and facility maintenance. 625 Allow orienteering access to the entire Teanaway valley, and better parking near the area just 7/25/2017 6:38 PM north of Lick Creek off of the North Teanaway road. 626 Must include motorized use! 7/25/2017 6:37 PM 627 Campgrounds in the TCF are overrun There needs to be more inforcment on existing rules. 7/25/2017 6:35 PM Examples: building rock fire rings, over crouded sites, noise, speeding, camping outside designated areas.
628 The use of motorcycles by responsible users is a very valuable attribute of the Community Forest. 7/25/2017 6:35 PM I frequently take my family and our motorcycles into the forest and enjoy that time. I see some other motorcycle riders but very rarely, if at all, do I see anyone misusing this privalge. I am proud of this and proud that the Community values these responsible riders. 629 Reconsider the placement of tables and campfire rings in designated campsites. There was 7/25/2017 6:28 PM obvious poor planing in that regard!!
119 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
630 The TCF is important wildlife habitat, and provides critically-important winter and spring habitat for 7/25/2017 6:16 PM wildlife. I am opposed to any recreation development, especially motorized recreation, that compromises use of the area by wildlife. There are numerous other places available for motorized recreation. Keep the TCF quiet! 631 Please understand that 'off road motorcycling is a very family oriented outing that needs more 7/25/2017 6:12 PM trails with less restrictions. A good example is Capitol Forest in Thurston county. 632 Kittitas county has unlimited motorized use in the LT Murray wildlife areas, Clockum Wildlife 7/25/2017 6:00 PM Refuge, upper Taneum/Manastash, and parts of the Liberty area. Use has increased in recent years, rules are not being followed by many, damage to trails and open areas is prevalent, enforcement of regulations seems non existent. Additional motorized use in the Teanaway Community forest would be at odds with the preservaton of wildlife, watersheds, and natural ecosystems. 633 We have had a very difficult time trying to get an endurance ride put on in the Teanaway. Being 7/25/2017 5:58 PM told that the gates must stay locked, for example, prevents the ability to bring in a horse trailer should someone be in trouble out on the trail, or to bring water tubs out to set out on the course. I would ask that the forest managers consider allowing the endurance ride to have these options We are great stewards of the land and have had tremendous cooperation in the forests around Sand Canyon outside of Spokane, as well as other parts of Washington state. I hope this can be said of the Teanaway. 634 My families created many wonderful memories since the very early 1900's in the Teanaway. I hope 7/25/2017 5:58 PM it doesn't change...
635 Please develop opportunities for mountain biking trails and better river access. 7/25/2017 5:56 PM
636 I hope it can be kept pristine. It's a wonderful area. 7/25/2017 5:53 PM
637 None 7/25/2017 5:51 PM
638 Allowing motorized vehicles in the Teanaway Forest would be the biggest mistake you can make. 7/25/2017 5:50 PM Having ridden horses in areas where they are allowed I have seen how destructive their presents can be. You can't keep motorcycles out of there now and they are already tearing up the trails, roads,littering and destroying the caves with graffiti.
639 Plowing of roads was incredibly improved this year (thank you) last year was awful. I'd like to see 7/25/2017 5:37 PM designated horse riding trails, or horse areas. Two factors for this, with the cattle to poop on the lower areas is bad enough, add the horse poo and hiking on the lower areas gets tough- I realize sharing but trails desingated for horses would be wonderful. Plus, I hike with dogs and sometimes the though of crossing a trail lane with horses and the choas kind of takes away from the experience. I'd hate for my dogs to startle a horse and rider but sometimes I just am too busy looking down to pay attention to what's ahead (checking my footing). I've had NO issues with wolves either, but pretty much stay to the lower basins with my dogs. Have seen footprints in the dead of winter though.
640 We left the Teanaway campground today. Over the last weekend, two of the 'trails' to the river had 7/25/2017 5:35 PM tents (several tents as a matter of fact) blocking the route to the river (groups were outside of the designated campground). I saw a ranger visit one group asking about 'noise' the previous night. I wish he had instructed the folks to move their sites. Access to the river is limited in the campground and these groups were 'claiming' their river sites and blocking access to others (their tents were right in the trail) 641 Stop the motorized vehicle use. Stop the dirt bike use completely!!! These people are out of 7/25/2017 5:20 PM control. 642 Thanks for the opportunity to comment! 7/25/2017 5:04 PM 643 Please ensure continued orienteering access with minimal use fees. 7/25/2017 4:58 PM 644 Great to have a lower key area to visit (without needing reservations or having to arrive by 8am to 7/25/2017 4:45 PM find parking). Also nice to have non-motorized areas, both summer and winter. Thanks! 645 There is a A fantastic volunteer base in Kittitas county for motorized recreation. The DNR should 7/25/2017 4:41 PM tap into that to help maintain any motorized trail systems
646 Would still like to see you add the use of packstock instead of equestrian - people with other 7/25/2017 4:40 PM packstock feel diminished by equestrian signs - if a horse can use a trail any other packstock is allowed and therefore the signs should say horse/packstock trail, or camp, etc.
120 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
647 No 7/25/2017 4:37 PM 648 Restrict bicycles and other vehicles to paved roads!!!!! 7/25/2017 4:36 PM 649 Comment No. 23: I have a bad back! Will help in other ways, including money if you need it. I 7/25/2017 4:36 PM really think we have beat up the TCF with poor logging practices as well as allowing "civilization" to creep over Cle Elum Ridge. We don't need rich people staring down at us mere mortals from mansions on the ridge. In addition, opportunities for motorized recreation on existing and retired logging roads should be retained so we can keep dirt bikes off the trails. Because snow machines are not nearly as destructive, the dirt bikers should be encouraged to buy some down and gore-tex and take up snow machining. DNR and WDFW, thank you so much for your stewardship of the Teanaway Community Forest! 650 Promote non-motorized use. No motorized use. 7/25/2017 4:27 PM 651 JUST BE FAIR IN YOUR SPREADING OUT THE USES 7/25/2017 4:25 PM 652 Thanks to the Community Coalition for all of your current efforts and you thoughtful forethought. 7/25/2017 4:24 PM That land is precious. 653 motorized access to areas of stable soil Teanaway forest should be a impottant to a serious and 7/25/2017 4:17 PM sustainable plan 654 I just want to be able to ride from ronald into teanaway legally with a off road motorcycle. 7/25/2017 4:17 PM 655 Extremely important to maintain access to existing motorcycle trails and to open new trails for 7/25/2017 4:14 PM beginners. For example, the road downstream of Indian Camp should be opened. The same for the currently closed road connecting MF and WF. Community forest is nearly perfect as-is. Attracting additional people to the area will significantly increase fire danger and negatively impact wildlife and the outdoor experience. Let's attract people to Suncadia/Roslyn area and keep the Teanaway preserved with less development and traffic.
656 Keep motor access limited and away from TNC lands. There is currently a lot of unauthorized 7/25/2017 4:11 PM motor access coming from TCF to TNC properties.
657 Please follow the intent of the acquisition of the Teanaway Community Forest and restrict 7/25/2017 4:09 PM recreational activities to best allow for watershed restoration to improve water quality and quantity for people, fish, and wildlife.
658 Please work with the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance. It seems that almost everything they 7/25/2017 4:03 PM work on and design turns to gold. Good balance of family friendly trails to challenging technical trails that shed water and don't get as beat up over the years.
659 Myself being disabled can't walk very well or very far so camping sites that I could drive my motor 7/25/2017 3:44 PM home to would really be my only option. Preferably reseravable .
660 Please save some motorized access to this area. Thanks. 7/25/2017 3:21 PM
661 The off-road motorcycling community has a long and trusted history of working with the DNR in 7/25/2017 3:18 PM other State Forests regarding trail maintenance and other land management decisions. This positive track record, in conjunction with proper trail planning and design, indicates off-road motorcycling would be an excellent recreation opportunity to provide in the Teanaway Community Forest. 662 Even though I don't do motorized recreation I still think it is VERY important for them to have 7/25/2017 3:10 PM access also. 663 Minimize motorbike, snowmobile roads, trails. 7/25/2017 3:09 PM 664 Keep our existing dirt bike motorized trails open that we have traditionally used. 7/25/2017 3:04 PM 665 Please consider 2 wheeled ORV as a first class citizen. 7/25/2017 3:02 PM 666 Please do not allow motorized use in the forest. It will cause damage to the land and wildlife, 7/25/2017 2:56 PM pollution and fire hazard. There are plenty of motorized trails in the area. 667 Focus should be to maintain the current trail system for all the current users. 7/25/2017 2:54 PM
668 I'm pretty much a "motorized " use of these areas, Motorized recreation use is very important, 7/25/2017 2:52 PM 669 Pit toilet s at Indian camp are full and filthy. 7/25/2017 2:47 PM
121 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
670 Please don't allow motorized vehicles on any additional lands than what is already allowed. Horse 7/25/2017 2:40 PM camping choices are getting fewer and fewer. Some horse camping are now allowing noon horse people to come in and camp, talking away space for horse rigs. There tends to be no control over the rules laid out and it can be a liability. Please save as much as possible our horse Locations and trails. 671 The most important improvement needed is the road in Teanaway campground. I would also pay a 7/25/2017 2:35 PM fee to camp if it would pay to maintain the road. 672 This is a beautiful part of the Cascade Range and we need to protect it. Thinning of the forest of 7/25/2017 2:34 PM damaged trees to keep the entire forest burning down could be done by volunteers. No mention of Lookout(s) either. Have reservations to stay in Lookouts for a fee. 673 I am partially disabled. I want to see better access for the disabled! 7/25/2017 2:20 PM 674 Positive directions written in larger print on camp entrances. Much confusion witnessed at Camp 7/25/2017 2:18 PM Teanaway June 19 - 24 due to poor signage and dirty toilet facilities. Trail to river should be relocated to avoid private property. 675 Appears that Seattle has taken over the valley. 7/25/2017 2:02 PM 676 very likely to volunteer if this becomes a true multi use area where every type of recreation is 7/25/2017 1:23 PM welcome and no single user group has more say. As it is right now it is motorized groups are being made to appear the bad guys. Each snowmobile or motorcycle needs a registration why not horses or their trailer. They erode the trails as well and leave waste with weeds behind causing an increase in weed eradication costs.
677 Depressing that it has come to this, go ahead, accommodate Seattle's $ 7/25/2017 12:46 PM
678 Thank you for thinking about and for the careful planning to protect, preserve, and allow limited use 7/25/2017 12:01 PM of this precious resource.
679 Please remember conservation goals when planning recreation. Please look at what open access 7/25/2017 11:26 AM to motorized has gone to other areas in our state: trail conditions, erosion, quality of experience. Opening this area to motorized will run off the other users, as it has in the entire area south of I 90, and will change the character of this area, from one of a lovely, quiet, clean outdoor experience, to one of trashed trails, pollution, and lack of conservation. Motorized users DO NOT care about quality of forest; they only care about the thrills of hill riding and going fast. As the current illegal tracks scattered over the TCF hillsides, straight up slopes, off trail everywhere, attest to. It is short-sighted to let them in, especially considering the lack of sufficient policing presence there. 680 this is a legacy; ; the volume and intensity of human use will only increase over time. Please limit 7/25/2017 11:10 AM motorized use within the forest
681 Non motorized user only. If conservation is the goal- they can not be allowed access to the forest. 7/25/2017 11:09 AM No matter how organized their efforts are , how much money they donate or how loud they are- the answer is no.
682 I'm unclear why any expanded motorized use outside of existing trails would be considered. There 7/25/2017 11:01 AM is a need for front country non-motorized recreation in Kittitas County, plenty of motorized use is available in the Liberty area and Manastash. I want a place that isn't dominated by that to enjoy. Also, this was preserved primarily for water so I want any system in balance with that including a reduced road system. 683 I think respecting the year round residents of the Teanaway should be the NUMBER ONE 7/25/2017 10:54 AM PRIORITY!!! Secondary to that is willingness to share the beauty of the valley with others, those guests need to be respectful, mindful, and maintain cleanliness, quietness, drive the speed limit, pick up after themselves, not drink and drive and act loud or rude in general. I would discourage permanent camping style structures only because it is likely to encourage and attract loitering and pests like bugs/rodents, etc. I would love for the Teanaway to be cultivated in a way that really leaves it exactly as it is now and just allows for more people to share the tremendous beauty and peace of this place, so they can experience the joy of just being in such an amazing place. 684 I have been using the Teanaway area for over 30 years. I would like to see more of it open to 7/25/2017 10:45 AM motorized vehicles like it used to be.
122 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
685 As a recreationalist and mountian biker, I have enjoyed the increible riding opportunities in the 7/25/2017 10:36 AM Teanaway. However, the massive damage caused by motorized use on trails (even non-motorized trails) and to a lesser--but still substantial--extent, equestrian usage really destroy the trails. In recent years I've watched beautiful trails become rutted with moto tracks that contribute to erosion to the extent that some of our favorite rides now have 24" deep ruts carved out due to water flowing through tracks during rains. As a mountain biker, I'm fine sharing trail with equestrians--I've had nothing but positive experiences in the Teanaway with them--but there really is just no room for moto in there. There are plenty of motorized trails surrounding the teanaway, and relatively few non-motorize or mountain bike specific in that same land swatch. Despite one of the areas I regularly ride being closed to motorized use, I have seen quads or dirtbikes on trail every time I've ridden in the past three years. 686 i woiuld not volunteer for anything that directly or indirectly will increase the number of people 7/25/2017 10:31 AM using the area because it willo both directly and indirectly impact the local birds; fish and anilmals. even though everyone says not there is enough stuff in or near the area to satify everyone as for as their needs go and provides way more access than is needed. 687 atv and utv 7/25/2017 9:55 AM 688 You did not include an option in your camping question for horse camping. You need more space 7/25/2017 9:36 AM and better water access for horse camping. 689 Summer motorized recreation should be expanded within the TCF. Connectors, loops and scenic 7/25/2017 8:37 AM vistas should be included.
690 I am concerned with the motorized recreation question above, especially in the summer in this 7/25/2017 8:28 AM area. The community forest was set aside primarily as part of a water supply plan that also speaks to the huge need for water quality in the area as well. Utilization of the community forest is important, but since all use in the landscape will impact the landscapes ability to hold and clean water it would seem that the actions allowed in the community forest should be designed with this in mind (meaning strong limitations and controls of all recreation along riparian areas) and allowing motorized use on existing roadways but not creation of new motorized trails (including no adoption of the user created trail system in the forest as it is). 691 would like to see the teanaway butte road opened up, middle fork 7/25/2017 8:04 AM
692 Do not restrict fishing and hunting in any way. Sportsmen and Sportswomen contribute the most 7/25/2017 8:03 AM out of all user groups to conservation and fish and wildlife. Do not limit or restrict fishing or hunting use or access in any way, but rather promote it and make areas more accessible for these uses.
693 Do not disable roads/trails like you did till you know who is using them! The Lick creek area work, 7/25/2017 7:14 AM while needed for erosion control needlessly destroyed a neighborhood favorite trail for horseback, biking and hiking.
694 At this time I'm caring for my parents but I would gladly volunteer to help in the future 7/25/2017 6:37 AM
695 Very happy the Community Forest is protected. Let's keep it healthy and ecologically sound. 7/25/2017 5:29 AM
696 I like the forest the way it is. I camp in a living quarters horse trailer. It would be nice to continue to 7/24/2017 11:41 PM be able to access water for my horse. Don't want the forest to be over run with too many people. 697 Really enjoy riding horses here, thank you! 7/24/2017 11:15 PM 698 Please keep the Teanaway Community Forest free from any more motorized use on the trails. 7/24/2017 11:06 PM When we recently camped there, we went hiking (with children) in a non motorized area and were almost ran over by motorcycle riders who did not even stop! Very upsetting... 699 This area needs horse corrals and better signage about where the trails go. Keep this area 7/24/2017 10:20 PM separate from ATV's 700 ORVs and dirt bikes really should be limited to roads developed for motorized vehicles - not trails. 7/24/2017 10:17 PM 701 There are many areas in the Teanaway that are gated off. Allow some access to motorized travel. 7/24/2017 10:10 PM The roads are already there. 702 I do not want to see any expansion of motorized use. There are many other areas where this type 7/24/2017 9:53 PM of recreation dominates. It is very hard on the environment and ruins the experience for hikers and mountain bikers.
703 Campgrounds and restrooms need much improvement. Signs need to be on all roads whether 7/24/2017 9:37 PM closed or not. Names of campgrounds need to be on Kiosk at entrance to campground

704 No motorized vehicle access! Limit the number of large user groups and the frequency of events 7/24/2017 9:36 PM 705 The TCF should remain non-motorized. There are HUNDREDS of miles of motorized trails in the 7/24/2017 8:50 PM upper county and very few biking/hiking only trails. 706 I would like to see the TCF remain non-motorized. 7/24/2017 8:45 PM 707 Were not all 20 year olds. There are us who can't walk 10 or more miles a day we need to have 7/24/2017 8:39 PM access 708 Think very carefully about allowing dispersed camping! Typically on the USFS lands campers 7/24/2017 8:23 PM leave poop so dogs find it and eat/roll in it. Toilet paper everywhere. Then there is the campfires. 709 It would be great to have better signs on the campground clean up expectations. A lot of horse 7/24/2017 8:19 PM people are willing to pick up better but I think they lack knowledge. Signs would help. Many of us really value riding areas. 710 I think motorized use in the forest should be severely restricted. My experience with ORV users is 7/24/2017 8:19 PM that they do not respect the rules, destroy meadows, throw trash around and have no respect for private property. They are noisy, polluting, disrespectful, and harmful to wildlife and the natural peace in the forest. 711 I love the opportunity to be able to go horseback riding in this amazing area. I would like to see 7/24/2017 8:13 PM horse camping areas developed & I am happy to wirk with any groups to make sure we all use this amazing area responsibly & respectfully.
712 Please keep trails and camping available to equestrian. 7/24/2017 8:08 PM
713 The TCF advisory committee appears to be dragging its feet on the hot issue of whether or not or 7/24/2017 8:01 PM to what extent to allow motorized access to the forest. It's time for the committee to bite the bullet and get to work on a recommendation to the agencies on the issue of whether or not, or to what extent to allow motorized travel on the forest. My view is that the management guidelines for the forest, set forth by the legislature, will make it difficult to justify allowing motorized travel on the forest. In fact, the guidelines may mean that other travel types, i.e. bikes, horses, even foot travel, may need to be curtailed in some areas to protect watershed and habitat. 714 I have ridden there off and on since the 70' s and just enjoy putting around on the game trails and 7/24/2017 7:45 PM doing cross country in and out of little draws and valleys. The idea of having trails I have to stay on does not appeal. I will stay on regular trails but every so often heading off across country is the beauty of the area. If you just set it aside and went off and left the area alone except places to park safely and camp (tent,trailer, or what ever portable system) I think it would be the the best. Not so much organizing after you get off the pavement. 715 My preference would be no motorized vehicles allowed and also no big events such as bicycle 7/24/2017 7:41 PM races or running triathlons.
716 Quiet. No loud music. No loud parties. 7/24/2017 7:07 PM
717 Try a few things for a year,reevaluate, adjust 7/24/2017 7:03 PM
718 Please consider keeping ORV out!!! They ruin the peacefulness of the forest!! 7/24/2017 6:58 PM 719 Open up more motorized trails 7/24/2017 6:53 PM 720 Your taking the Teanaway away from the salt of the earth and giving it to the Seattle REI crowd. 7/24/2017 6:49 PM You should be ashamed. 721 For horse camping, several manure collection sites would be appreciated; compost would be 7/24/2017 6:31 PM useful for native plants 722 Keep it wild, exclude motorcycles and grazing. 7/24/2017 6:22 PM 723 No motorized access!! Not on gated roads or trails. Hate the noise, trail damage, and frightening 7/24/2017 5:56 PM the wildlife. Safety hazard. No target shooting. Hate the noise and mess. 724 Priority should be given to protection of natural resources. Human activities should not interfere 7/24/2017 5:52 PM with that. I'm willing to forego recreational experiences in favor of protecting the fish, wildlife and flora of the community forest.
725 How will you control the wolf population when they permiate these areas? I would recommend ed 7/24/2017 5:49 PM signs on what to do, store food, prevent attacks an carry sidearm
124 / 171 Teanaway Community Forest Recreation Survey
726 Don't let ATVs or dirt bikes ruin it like they did around Sky Meadows. Too many unauthorized trails 7/24/2017 5:46 PM ruin it for everyone. 727 I would like to see all those roads that are now closed reopened to all types of vehicles so one has 7/24/2017 5:46 PM more access to the total forest. Not all of us can hike 25 miles a day. 728 The biggest challenge will be to keep recreation areas clean and orderly, reduce impacts of 7/24/2017 5:11 PM camping near the river on the riparian zone. 729 Quietude is grand. Motorcycles and ORV noise = evil. 7/24/2017 5:06 PM 730 Strongly emphasize non-motorized use in the TCF. 7/24/2017 4:58 PM 731 Stop making it difficult or impossible for older people, handicapped folks or those of limited walking 7/24/2017 4:52 PM ability to enjoy OUR forests! Everyone will reach these points at sometime! 732 Much has been said about horse use/camping. Yes horses need some special amenities. There 7/24/2017 4:41 PM needs to be a method for handing manure. Either corrals or properly designed high lines. Leave No Trace educational signage. 733 Don't close the woods down for hunting and dirt bikes. 7/24/2017 4:33 PM 734 Please do not close access to motorized vehicles. This would eliminate an entire demographic that 7/24/2017 4:22 PM deserves to enjoy the forest. 735 None 7/24/2017 4:09 PM
736 Have a bigger fine for people using motor vehicles where not permitted. Maybe designate a 7/24/2017 4:04 PM shooting area. People just shoot at random not worrying what's on the other side of the target.
737 motorcycle riders have really abused this area, making illegal trails throughout for years. 7/24/2017 4:02 PM Therefore, this recreation plan should favor non-motorized recreation users, at least for the next decade or two until damaged areas are restored.
738 Please allow for motorcycle trails. 7/24/2017 4:01 PM
739 I feel we are publising and over using this great area wildlife is being pushed out we need to limit 7/24/2017 3:57 PM the times of year hikers and people in general use the area as hunters we pay and use the forest mostly certain times of the year the rest of the public is over using our forest they should have to pay as much as us hunters do they probably would stay home and walk in the park.
740 Don't let hunting get pushed out by the other non-hunting user groups (from Seattle). 7/24/2017 3:54 PM
741 Please let us keep horse sites open! I help clean after others when I'm there. 7/24/2017 2:33 PM
742 In short I see no reason for this Community Forrest to ever use a pay system for camping. I'm 7/24/2017 2:07 PM already annoyed that the discover pass is required in some areas. If the idea was to provide for more recreational and land for mitigation efforts why force the community to spend more money.
743 If I lived closer I would volunteer, but I live 4 hours away. 7/24/2017 2:01 PM
