Action Alert – Public Comment Needed for New Trails in the Umpqua National Forest

Categories: Action Alert | ATV | Dirt Bike | Oregon | State | SXS

Why you should submit here, even if you already have elsewhere!

We keep them honest. If everyone only comments through the government/agency site, we have to take their word on how many comments were received. By submitting through BRC, we create an independent record of our community’s response that can’t be buried or under-reported.

We protect your voice. If this fight ends up in court, having our own record of submitted comments means we don’t have to wait a year or more for a government agency to turn over documents. We can move quickly with proof that thousands of you spoke up.
We keep you in the loop. When you comment through our site, we can send you updates on what comes next. If you only use the government/agency site, you’re depending on them to tell you what happens next — and they won’t.

Double coverage matters. Even if you’ve already commented through the government/agency site, submitting through ours makes your voice count twice — once in their system, and once in ours. That way they know the OHV community is watching and tracking every move.

For years, BRC has been trusted to run action alerts like this. Thousands of members and supporters have used this system effectively to defend access to public lands. This isn’t about collecting your info — it’s about building the strongest, most transparent record possible to hold agencies accountable.

The Umpqua Land Trail Riders Association has been working with the Umpqua National Forest to develop a plan to create a series of new trails in the forest. These will be dedicated trails for ATV, dirt bike, and SXS. When groups like this get great projects into the works we need support them. We also need to send a signal to the land managers that projects like this are popular, and that the public wants them completed.

We created a quick action alert in our Action Center for this project, so anyone can submit a comment to District Ranger Sherri Chambers. All you need to do is fill in your information. You can use our comment text, or you are welcome to add your own feedback. After you submit your comment, you can also easily share the alert to other users. If you live near Roseburg, Oregon or recreate in this area, we also added the feature that allows you to submit a quick letter to the editor to the local papers. The process will only take a few minutes, which is a small way you can help those who have spent countless hours getting this project this far.

Appreciate What We Do?

It takes a team of people to investigate, review, advocate and litigate in order to protect your rights to public lands. Please consider donating today so we can defend your ground.
