Support an Open-Access, Active Management Alternative in Oregon’s Blue Mountains Forest Plan Revision

Aug 25, 2025

For the first time in 35 years, USFS is updating the management plans for the Blue Mountains region in Oregon and Washington. Initial plans propose to stop issuing recreation residence tract permits, consider over 700,000 acres for Roadless Areas, and only maintain a fraction of the already-established roads. Your voice is needed to ensure that we protect recreation access to this popular forest.

Once-In-A-Generation Opportunity: Help Expand Recreational Access in Bridger-Teton National Forest

Aug 15, 2025

The Bridger-Teton National Forest is beginning the process to revise its management plan. With the recent Congressional Acts and Executive Orders that call to protect and expand recreation, we have a generational opportunity expand access within one of the most popular national forests in the States. We present our recommendations and need your support for their consideration via the form below.

Valles Caldera General Management Plan to Continue to Restrict Access to Recreation Users

Aug 13, 2025

The newly released General Management Plan for Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico continues to restrict access. However, the affected areas are not primitive nor remote by federal land management standards. Plus, they contain already well-established roads. Valles Caldera is a unique landscape that should be shared broadly with the public. The current GMP risks locking away too much from everyday Americans. BRC will challenge arbitrary restrictions and push for a management approach that keeps this public land open and accessible for all. We request your support via the form below.

Help Save Free, Dispersed Camping Near Capitol Reef National Park

Aug 11, 2025

After closing 612 miles of routes near Capitol Reef National Park that led to countless free, dispersed campsites, the Bureau of Land Management is now proposing to build a large developed campground. While BRC is not opposed to developed campgrounds, they should be in addition to— not instead of— dispersed camping experiences. BLM is taking public comments on the plan, so let’s make our voices heard via the form below.

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument

Save Access to Grand Staircase-Escalante by Telling Congress to Fund the 2020 RMP, Not the 2025 Land Grab

Aug 5, 2025

The 11th-hour approval of a rushed 2025 update to plans for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument dramatically restricted motorized access and dispersed camping. Congress has proposed to only fund the 2020 version of the plan which still protects natural resources while maintaining multiple-use access. Urge your representatives to support this proposal via the form below.

Support BLM Proposal to allow E-Bikes on Lamoille Summit Trails Near Elko, Nevada

Aug 1, 2025

BLM is proposing to allow Class 1 e-bikes on the non-motorized Lamoille Summit Trail System in Nevada. BRC supports this as Class 1 e-bikes are only pedal assist, thus, expanding access to trails while maintaining the spirit of non-motorized trail use. Add your support in the form below.

Western Solar Plan: 31 Million Acres of Public Land Fast-Tracked For Sale

Jul 31, 2025

With 700,000 acres of public land already approved for sale, including another 31 million acres fast-tracked for disposal, the Western Solar Plan, approved in 2024, represents one of the largest privatizations of public land in history. We are calling on Congress to rescind this plan, which adversely affects recreation, and need your voice for support in the form below.

Save Moab Update: Tell the BLM to Comply with the EXPLORE Act and Reopen Trails

Jul 24, 2025

Since the closure of over 317 miles of trails in Moab in 2023, BRC continues our legal challenge in federal court. With the passage of the EXPLORE Act and new executive orders, BRC believe the BLM is no longer in compliance. We need your voice in the form below to petition the BLM to comply with new orders and reopen trails.

Tell the BLM to Keep Rollercoaster Trail Technically Challenging for Off-Roaders

Jul 15, 2025

We previously informed you of the North Idaho Trailblazers fight and recent win to keep one of the most popular trails in northern Idaho, the West Fork Pink Creek Trail, open. While that fight is still ongoing, there is an update from the BLM that could affect how the most beloved and technically challenging section of the trail, called the Rollercoaster, is maintained. We’re thrilled to see BLM offering an alternative to keep and maintain this section— but we need your voice to ensure this alternative is chosen. We’ve made it very easy to add your comments with the form below. Comments are due August 13th! Details and form below.

Support BLM Proposal to Allow Class 1 E-Bikes on Moab Biking Trails

Jul 9, 2025

E-bikes are a vital access tool for older riders, people with physical limitations, and families with young children who want to recreate together. These bikes expand access while maintaining the spirit of non-motorized trail use. Class 1 e-bikes are low-powered pedal-assist bikes with no throttle and limited speeds, making them appropriate for shared-use trails without degrading the user experience.
