The U.S. Forest Service has released a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Taos Canyon Wildfire Resilience and Habitat Improvement Project in the Carson National Forest of New Mexico. In 2024 BRC sounded the alarm on the potential impacts...

Just months after the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) shut down 665 miles of motorized routes in the San Rafael Swell through its travel management plan, many of which led to popular dispersed camping sites, it is now seeking public input on a plan that will...
The move by the current administration to secure dams in the northwest must also be extended to secure the Glen Canyon Dam. Radical environmentalists have increased their efforts to dismantle the dam and drain Lake Powell— which provides clean, renewable energy to six states, supplies critical water to cities and farms throughout the southwest, and supports recreation and tourism critical to rural communities. We have prepared a letter at the bottom of this article to send to the White House, Department of Interior and your local representatives. Your support is needed!
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is currently considering the Miller Mountain Land Exchange in Wyoming, which proposes to trade away 1,802 acres of pristine mountain riverfront public land to a private corporation in exchange for lower quality desert lands along a separate river. On top of that, BLM will be paying the private corporation to acquire the pristine public land. This proposal raises serious concerns for the outdoor recreation community.
We are asking the public to comment against this against proposal, which can be done with the form at the end of this article. While the proposal began in 2015, BLM seems to have recently acted in haste to get this proposal approved. As such, the comment period closes this Wednesday, June 11th! So, don’t delay in submitting comments below.
A proposal initiated by the U.S. Forest Service in Montana to reduce wildfire risks while improving recreation and habitat has been met with frivolous lawsuits by environmentalist groups to stall the project. USFS has released a new assessment to address lawsuit concerns and we need your voice to ensure this project gets pushed forward! Below you will find a brief history of the project and why BlueRibbon Coalition supports the USFS proposal.
CFRs are being abused to permanently close roads and trails. The Department of Interior is seeking public input on which CFRs to close. We have quite a few for consideration, and we need your voice to make them heard.
At BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC), we champion responsible access to public lands for all recreationists. As federal land managers evaluate policies surrounding electric bikes (e-bikes) in this new administration, we believe that pedal-assisted e-bikes should be allowed...
For decades, 43 CFR § 8342.1 has quietly dictated how the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) designates off-road vehicle (OHV) access on public lands. On its face, the rule appears neutral, tasking land managers with determining whether lands are “open,”...
