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.

In Western Colorado we are seeing a surge of projects being proposed right now. Gunnison River is near Grand Junction and is a popular area for nonmotorized boats as well as dispersed camping as people float the river as it travels through the Dominguez Escalante National Conservation Area. The BLM is proposing to implement a reservation system and designated camp spots for overnight users.

Please submit a comment by Dec. 15th below to protect user access. You can also see the other projects BRC is engaged on and submit comments for them as well.
