Tell NOAA: California Coastal Management Program Is Draining the Colorado River
California has spent twenty years blocking ocean desalination while pulling more water from the Colorado River instead, pushing the shortage onto everyone downstream and threatening the livelihoods of 40 million people. NOAA’s federal review is a rare opening to put that failure on the record. Submit your comment before August 22 and speak up for the reservoirs, fisheries, and recreation economy at stake.
Blue Mountains Forest Plan Revision to Shape Access on 5 Million Acres – Add Your Voice
Oregon’s Blue Mountains forests are being rewritten for the first time since the 1990s, and one alternative would recommend 34,000 new wilderness acres and lock in 722,000 roadless acres where OHVs and mechanized use are banned outright. The choice between access and closure is on the table right now. Use the form below to submit your comment and stand up for access.
BREAKING: Trump Reduces Bears Ears and Grand Staircase National Monuments, Reopening 3M Acres to Public Access
Trump reduced two sprawling Utah national monuments, a win for the ranchers, riders, and rural communities harmed by decades of Antiquities Act overreach. BRC is pairing the reduction with legal precedent so a future administration cannot simply redraw the lines. Donate to the Legal Fund and add your voice today to help make this win last.
Tell Washington: Abuse of Antiquities Act and Oversized National Monuments Must Be Reined In
Oversized national monuments have locked up millions of acres of public land and set the stage for road closures, OHV restrictions, and lost access. A June 2026 court ruling in a case BRC helped bring confirmed these designations can now be challenged and reduced. Take action today and tell Congress, the Administration, and the courts to bring these boundaries back in line with the law.
Forest Service Over-Snow Vehicle Rule Restricts Snowmobile Access: Tell the Agency to Rescind 36 CFR Part 212 Subpart C
Snowmobilers rode National Forests for decades until Subpart C turned winter access into a paperwork permission system where riding outside lines on a map is prohibited. Congress never ordered this rule, and the agency already has full authority to close areas where actual damage occurs. Sign BRC’s action alert telling the Forest Service to rescind Subpart C and restore common-sense winter access.
Rio Grande National Forest Draft EIS Will Decide Over-Snow Vehicle Access on 1.84M Acres
The Rio Grande National Forest is deciding where snowmobiles can ride across 1.84 million acres in southern Colorado, and the lines drawn now will be permanent. BRC supports Alternative 3 with key route additions from Alternative 4, but the draft plan contains wilderness buffer zones, arbitrary snow depth rules, and a contradictory preferred alternative that need fixing. Submit your comment before July 29 and tell the Forest Service to keep this terrain open.
