The Caja del Rio Protection Act would create new federal designations across 85,000 New Mexico acres with a built-in mandate to decommission roads not listed on a map that does not yet exist. BRC opposes the bill because these designations have a proven track record of eliminating motorized access over time. Send your comment today and urge your representatives to vote no.
The BLM’s Conservation and Landscape Health Rule is gone, and BRC has been working to kill it since the day it was proposed. Over three years, BRC mobilized members, submitted formal comments, worked with Congress, took meetings at the highest levels of the Administration, met with agency officials and monitored BLM offices for conservation lease applications. This is what sustained advocacy with help from our supporters looks like.
The Bureau of Land Management has finalized the rescission of the 2024 “Public Lands Rule,” restoring the 1976 multiple-use mandate. This decision follows opposition from the BlueRibbon Coalition, which argued the rule exceeded legal authority and favored privatization disguised as “conservation.” The rescission aims to ensure lawful and transparent management of public lands, maintaining access for recreational activities.
Hundreds of miles of OHV routes in Utah’s San Rafael Swell and San Rafael Desert may be reopened under a new BLM alternative. BRC has been fighting these closures in court since 2025, and now the agency wants to hear from riders. Submit your comment in support of reopening these routes by June 8.
The legal fight over 2,200 miles of closed OHV routes in the Western Mojave has moved to the Ninth Circuit, and BRC filed to intervene to represent the voice of riders. If this precedent stands, it will not stay in California. Learn how this differs from our previous legal action and how you can help below.

A Nevada land bill would hand thousands of acres of public land to county and state control while locking another 12,392 acres as Wilderness, closing it to motorized use forever. This bill isn’t getting any attention and we wonder why. Tell your representatives to oppose the Douglas County Economic Development and Conservation Act.
Agencies are quietly eliminating free, dispersed camping across the West. The SR9 decision outside Zion is the most recent example of a strategy designed to end it permanently. Here’s how they do it and what you can do about it.
The BLM has approved the SR9 Camping Management Plan, closing dispersed campsites near Zion and replacing them with a controlled campground system that may never fully be built. The agency appears to be leaning on a SUWA-commissioned literature to justify the decision, not actual field data from the SR9 corridor. Tell the BLM State Director this is not acceptable and recreation policy must reflect the public interest.
