COUNTRY. OFFICIALS SAY THIS
ACT WILL CREATE 100,000 JOBS
DIRECTLY N INDIRECTLY WELL THE
CORONAVIRUS IS CHANGE THE WAY
WE DO SO MANY THINGS EVEN HOW
WE INTERACT WITH MOTHER
NATURE, A GYM, A COURT IS IN
ACTION TONIGHT OUT IN THE
QUIET SOCIALLY DISTANT HIKE
WITH SOME OF THE WAYS TIME IN
NATURE WILL BE JUST A LITTLE
DIFFERENT.
TODAY
WE'RE IN THE CLACKAMAS
RIVER RANGER DISTRICT AS THE
WEATHER GETS WARMER THE SUN
GETS HOTTER A LOT OF PEOPLE
LOOKING TO HIT THE TRAILS BUT
IT'S GOT TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF
THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SO WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS ARE
READY FOR SOME OF THOSE
CHANGES SO WE'RE OUT HERE WITH
DISTRICT RANGER, JACKIE AND
SHE'S GOING TO GIVE US JUST
SOME GENERAL DO'S AND DON'TS
MAKE SURE YOU GUYS HAVE THE
BEST I POSSIBLY CAN WHEN HE
HIT THE FOREST. SO WHAT ARE
SOME GENERAL THINGS THAT
PEOPLE CAN EXPECT TO BE
DIFFERENT THIS SUMMER WITH THE
PANDEMIC HAPPENING PEOPLE MAY
BE.
PREPARED TO ENCOUNTER
CROWDING AT OUR TRAILHEADS AND
SO YOU KNOW I ALWAYS CARRY MY
MASK WITH ME JUST IN CASE,
IT'S REALLY CROWDED AND WE
WANT TO MASK-UP BRING IT ALSO
FOR THE TRAIL IN CASE YOU WANT
TO MASK UP FOR THE YOU KNOW
PASSING OTHERS ON THE TRAILS.
WE'RE GOING ON THE
CLACKAMAS RIVER TRAIL STARTING
GROW FOREST RIGHT THAT'S WHAT
THIS COLUMN. YES.
WE HAVE LIMITED SERVICES
RIGHT NOW WE'RE TRYING TO OPEN
UP OUR RECREATION SITES. BUT
WE NOT HAVE THE FACILITIES
THAT PEOPLE ARE USED TO
ENCOUNTERING OUT ON THE
NATIONAL FOREST, WHAT CAN
PEOPLE DO TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY'RE READY FOR SOME OF
THOSE LIMITED SERVICE IS WELL
IF YOU CAME EXPECTING TO
ACCESS THE RESTROOM AND THERE
IS NOT ONE THAT YOU REALLY
WANT TO BE PREPARED TO FIND A
PLACE WHERE YOU CAN USE THE
RESTROOM BUT BE SURE TO BRING
YOUR OWN TOILET PAPER THINK
YOU BRING A BAG AND MAYBE EVEN
A SHOVEL IF I NEED THAT FOR
FOR DISPOSING OF YOUR WAYS YOU
KNOW WE DIDN'T REALLY ASK
PEOPLE TO PACK OUT WHAT THEY
HAVE BEEN.
SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
OLD GROWTH FOREST. WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN EXACTLY WELL THE
TERM MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO
DIFFERENT PEOPLE DEPENDING ON
YOUR RESOURCE SPECIALTY. WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THIS FOR US JILL
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT MANY OF THE
TREES ARE A REALLY LARGE AND
REALLY OLD AND WE HAVE A
HIGHLY DEVELOPED AND COMPLEX
UNDERSTORY AND WITHIN THIS
FOREST.
SO IF THE TREES ARE SO BIG.
WE HAVE A PROBLEM HUGGING
THEM IT'S PROBABLY AN OLD
GROWTH FOREST. THAT'S WHAT IT
SAYS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT IS
PRETTY UNIVERSAL REGARDLESS OF
WHICH WILDERNESS WHICH HIKE
YOU'RE DOING IS LEAVE NO TRACE
AND THAT'S. A SET OF
GUIDELINES TO MAKE SURE THAT
YOU LEAVE THE FOREST EITHER AS
YOU FOUND A OR BETTER THAN YOU
FOUND IT SO WHERE CAN PEOPLE
FIND RESOURCES LIKE BAD. 2
PREPARE THEMSELVES SEE TO HEAD
OUTSIDE RESPONSIBLY WELL I
THINK IT WOULD BE SAFE FOR
ANYONE WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE
INTERNET TO GOOGLE LEAVE NO
TRACE.
TO FIND OUT MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT THOSE
PRACTICES AND THE IMPORTANCE
OF PACKING OUT WHAT YOU PACK
IN.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE
LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES.
WELL REALLY IF YOU THINK ABOUT
IT. WE'RE IN A NATIONAL
FOREST. AND THIS FOREST IS
HERE FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY SO
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT AND
RECREATE AND ENJOY THE FOREST
THAT YOU LEAVE IT IN GOOD
CONDITION FOR EVERYONE.
SO PRETTY IT'S SO GREEN, NO
MATTER WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR.
A BEAUTIFUL YOU CAN VISIT.
A GREAT THING ABOUT WHERE
WE LIVE IS THERE SO MANY
TRAILS AND WHERE THERE'S ONE
TRAIL THERE'S PROBABLY 3 OTHER
US SO WE CAN DO SOME EXTRA
PLANNING AND MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE BEING COGNIZANT OF.
OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE
WE'RE GOING AND EVERYTHING
MIGHT BE IN STORE WE CAN
ARRIVE HOME SAFELY AND AND
RELIEVE THAT BURDEN ON OUR
PART.
