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 communityโ€™s response that canโ€™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 donโ€™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, youโ€™re depending on them to tell you what happens next โ€” and they wonโ€™t.

Double coverage matters. Even if youโ€™ve already commented through the government/agency site, submitting through ours makes your voice count twice โ€” 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 isnโ€™t about collecting your info โ€” itโ€™s about building the strongest, most transparent record possible to hold agencies accountable.

The Bureau of Land Management in Oregon is proposing a forest management project that will help the forest be healthier and prevent wildfire through commercial thinning, harvest and other treatments. The Aloha Trout Forest Management Project is located just west of Eugene and Corvallis, Oregon. Along with the forest proposals, the BLM will need to do road maintenance and construct 7 new miles of roads. It isn’t every day that land management agencies propose new routes. It is still unclear whether the proposed new roads will be open to public access. BRC needs help submitting comments to the BLM in support of this project and also to advocate the additional roads be open for public use. Roads are better maintained if open to the public and these roads will aid in forest treatments, emergency response and preventing wildfire. Submit your comment by November 12, 2024
