A fast-moving bill in the Minnesota Legislature could close 4.2 million acres of state forest to snowmobiles, ATVs, and motorized vehicles, dismantling one of the country’s best trail networks through litigation, petitions, and sweeping restrictions. SF 1245 is not just an OHV issue; it puts every user’s access at risk. Contact Minnesota legislators now and tell them to oppose SF 1245 today.
Resolution in Congress would overturn the GSENM travel management plan that closed more than 1.2 million acres to motorized recreation and raised broader concerns about presidential abuse of the Antiquities Act.
A recent federal court ruling will close more than 2,200 miles of designated OHV routes in the Mojave Desert via an expansive judicial interpretation of BLM’s minimization criteria. FLPMA requires the Bureau of Land Management to balance multiple-use recreation while preventing unnecessary degradation, yet the current application turns minimization into a default closure mandate that overrides Congress’s intent. BlueRibbon Coalition is calling on the Department of the Interior to immediately rescind or revise this framework—contact your representatives via the form below and tell them to support balanced public land management.
Government Wash at Lake Mead in Nevada is a case study in a land management agency noticing that management is failing, admitting why it’s failing, and doing the hard work to improve access and recreation.
A federal judge has ordered the closure of 2,200 miles of legally designated OHV routes and vast swaths of the Mojave Desert—imposing land-use policy from the bench without Congress, community input, or accountability.

The U.S. Forest Service is taking public comment on a proposal to create a nationwide Environmental Assessment regarding post-wildfire recovery work. Right now, NEPA delays can stretch for years, leaving dangerous trees, erosion, damaged roads/trails, and burned timber to worsen while communities lose access and local economies take the hit. Canada often moves far more quickly after fires, and changes would help bring the U.S. closer to that more effective model. Comments are open through January 26. Add your voice below.
The U.S. Forest Service is proposing the Silver Branch Vegetation Management Project in the Ottawa National Forest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The public can submit comments on the draft environmental assessment though January 21, 2026. This is a vegetation...
Earlier this year, we shared an infographic which illustrated how unbalanced public land restrictions have become. There are 640 million acres of public lands, and when you add up the acreage amounts of all the restrictive land designations, our multiple use lands...
Montana legislators are proposing to release 3 of the 44 Wilderness Study Areas which have been in place since 1977. As one of the States with the most restricted land in the country, releasing the highly-restrictive, never-ending WSA is long overdue. Tell your representatives you support the Montana congresspersons giving public land back to the people.
