Since 2001, BlueRibbon Coalition, along with various states, have been fighting the implementation of the Roadless Rule, which essentially designated 59 million acres of national forests as de facto wilderness through a regulation instead of an act of Congress. The USDA has proposed to rescind the rule and are now accepting comments. BRC strongly supports its rescission. Add your support below by September 19th!
The Bridger-Teton National Forest is beginning the process to revise its management plan.

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.
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,”...
This regulation was born out of the 1970s era regulatory wave when public land agencies were handed sweeping authority to manage off-road vehicle (ORV) use in the name of environmental protection. Codified in 43 CFR § 8341.2, this rule allows the Bureau of Land...
