Why you should submit here, even if you already have elsewhere!

We keep them honest. If everyone only comments through the government/agency site, we have to take their word on how many comments were received. By submitting through BRC, we create an independent record of our community’s response that can’t be buried or under-reported.

We protect your voice. If this fight ends up in court, having our own record of submitted comments means we don’t have to wait a year or more for a government agency to turn over documents. We can move quickly with proof that thousands of you spoke up.
We keep you in the loop. When you comment through our site, we can send you updates on what comes next. If you only use the government/agency site, you’re depending on them to tell you what happens next — and they won’t.

Double coverage matters. Even if you’ve already commented through the government/agency site, submitting through ours makes your voice count twice — once in their system, and once in ours. That way they know the OHV community is watching and tracking every move.

For years, BRC has been trusted to run action alerts like this. Thousands of members and supporters have used this system effectively to defend access to public lands. This isn’t about collecting your info — it’s about building the strongest, most transparent record possible to hold agencies accountable.

The Forest Service in the Lolo National Forest, the Superior North district located East of Missoula and near the town of Superior, is proposing several projects including vegetation and recreation management projects.

BRC supports vegetation projects that help maintain the forest to prevent wildfires that ultimately cause loss of access. However, we are concerned with the recreation management projects. There are several routes being proposed to decommission, change to non-motorized only or only allow seasonal access. There are many miles of new, nonmotorized trails being proposed but no new motorized trails. Land agencies consistently give preferential treatment to nonmotorized users. Not only will restriction of access hurt motorized users but also dispersed camping and other forms of recreation.

Below is also the proposed map for the vegetation projects:

You can read more about the specific projects on the Forest Service Planning website here.

Comments are accepted until Jan. 18th. Please use our action alert tool to stand up against the closures for motorized users. We always recommend you add in your own personal thoughts and comments to make your comment original.
