How will cross-country motorized travel change following the publishing of the MVUM?
A. Following the publication of the MVUM, cross-country travel will be prohibited. The Willamette National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan will be amended to prohibit motorized travel off of a designated system of routes and zones in Management Areas where cross-country travel is currently allowed. Cross-country motorized travel is not a common activity on the Willamette National Forest, as it is limited by the steep terrain and dense vegetation. The Forest Plan amendment will not greatly change the opportunities currently available on the Forest for cross-country travel.
