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 Department of Interior is in the process of creating the American Conservation and Stewardship Atlas. From our understanding, the Atlas will be used to track which lands and waters qualify to meet the objectives of the 30X30 initiative and set a road map for future areas that need more designations. Every square inch of federal and state lands already have layers of protections such as the FLPMA, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, NEPA, Antiquities Act, and the Endangered Species Act just to name a few.

30X30 is an initiative put in place by President Biden to “protect” 30% of America’s lands and waters by the year 2030. This is not legislation and is simply a marketing campaign supported by conservation groups who want to restrict access on public lands. Most of the Western United States have more than 30% of their lands and waters already crippled with multiple layers of protections. BlueRibbon believes that the Atlas needs to correctly identify that all public land already has ample protections in place and this Atlas should not be used in order to justify more restrictions and designations that would limit more use.

Public comments regarding the Atlas are accepted until March 7th. You can read the information provided from the Department of Interior here. Please add your voice to ours using the tool below by clicking “Take Action”.

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.
