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.
E-bikes are a vital access tool for older riders, people with physical limitations, and families with young children who want to recreate together. BLM Colorado River Valley Field Office is seeking public comment to allow Class 1 e-bikes to access designated MTB trails across most of the field office. BRC supports this and we think you should too. Comments are due March 25.
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.
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. This precedent puts all public land access at risk. Tell the Department of Justice to step in now and stop judicial overreach before these closures spread nationwide.
The Historic Roadways Protection Act is being voted on in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on February 4th. This crucial legislation, supported by BRC, would help protect hundreds of miles of closed Utah routes while courts decide ongoing R.S. 2477 right-of-way disputes. Tell your Senators to support by February 4th!
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.
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...
A long-running bill dubbed the ‘America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act’ would radically reshape how millions of acres of Utah’s public lands are managed. Disguised as conservation, it would ban most recreation, silence local communities, and hand control to distant special interests—learn what’s really at stake and take action before it’s too late via the form below.
While positioned as a compromise since anti-access organizations could not designate it as a national monument, the Dolores River National Conservation Area will restrict multiple use activities, especially motorized recreation. Tell your representatives not to support this misleading bill via the form below.
