The Cabin Butte Vegetation Management Project closure south of Bend will remain in effect until at least April 30, 2027—extending restrictions by another year.

Access is prohibited throughout the more than 32-thousand-acre project area while crews conduct hazardous fuels reduction, prescribed burns, and habitat restoration.

Some forest service roads are open, but all major recreation sites and most trails are closed.

Violators risk significant fines or jail time.
