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 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cottonwood Field Office is proposing to re-designate approximately 3.93 miles of trails, specifically BLM trails 150B (3.25 miles) and a portion of 149B (0.68 miles), from non-motorized to motorized single-track use. These trails are located about 10 miles east of Riggins, Idaho. 

Why BRC Supports This Proposal:

  • Enhanced Trail Connectivity: Linking these BLM trails with adjacent motorized Forest Service trails (115 and 373) would establish a continuous loop, improving access and recreational opportunities for motorized users.​
  • Improved Maintenance Efficiency: Motorized access would facilitate easier maintenance of trails 150B and 149B, ensuring they remain in good condition and are more accessible for upkeep activities.​
  • Support for Local Recreation Economy: Expanding motorized trail options can attract a broader range of outdoor enthusiasts, potentially boosting local tourism and associated economic benefits.​
  • Support all recreation: This will allow dirt bikes, e-bikes and mountain bikes to use these routes.

This proposal is currently in the scoping phase and the BLM will prepare an Environmental Assessment to further evaluate the proposed action. The only two alternatives are Alt. A which keeps the trails as non-motorized and the proposal, which is to re-designate the routes as motorized single-track.

Fill out the form below to submit a comment to the BLM supporting this re-designation in Idaho through April 30, 2025.
