As should folks who hike, bike, backpack, camp, and otherwise recreate on public land.

The article from MSN discusses a controversial proposal by the U.S. Forest Service to require a special permit for recreational activities on public lands, including mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding. This initiative, aimed at managing the increasing number of visitors and their impact on natural resources, has sparked a debate about access to public lands. Critics argue that this could limit access for those who cannot afford the fees, potentially turning public lands into a pay-to-play scenario.

The article highlights the tension between preserving natural environments and ensuring public access, with various stakeholders like environmental groups, outdoor enthusiasts, and local communities weighing in on the implications of such a policy.
