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 Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Uncompahgre Field Office is currently seeking public input on its Naturita Travel Management Plan, which will guide the management of public land in Colorado’s Southwest District. This plan encompasses diverse landscapes, including river systems, red rock deserts, and piñon-juniper woodlands, offering a variety of recreational opportunities. Comments will be accepted through March 18, 2025.

The BLM is evaluating travel routes within the area to designate as open, closed or limited. If there are routes missing from the inventory or needed new routes for different modalities, now is the time to address those concerns and needs for the future. It is also important at this stage to document the different uses for each route.

It’s crucial that the motorized community participate in this process to ensure that the needs of the off-highway vehicle (OHV) community are considered. Your input can help maintain access to existing routes and potentially open new areas for motorized recreation. If you’re looking for a new place to explore, you should consider adding this area to your list to improve your understanding of the area.

If you have on the ground information of this area it is essential you submit that information using the tool below. Let’s work together to ensure that our community’s needs are represented in the Naturita Travel Management Plan.
