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.

Payette, National Forest in Idaho is considering many new projects in the East Fork, South Fork Salmon River area. BRC appreciates all the work that the local Idaho groups have done on this management plan and we have seen a lot of local activity to submit comments and stand up for recreation access. We support these groups in their effort and wanted to add our comment to all the others that people have been sending in.

Many permanent roads and trails are being proposed after the USFS was sued for not including unauthorized routes. They also are considering decommissioning roads to improve watersheds. BRC believes with proactive management solutions can be found without closures. Management through closures it not responsible management.
