The Historic Roadways Protection Act is being voted on in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on February 4th. This crucial legislation, supported by BRC, would help protect hundreds of miles of closed Utah routes while courts decide ongoing R.S. 2477 right-of-way disputes. Tell your Senators to support by February 4th!
Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife is taking public comment on a proposal to permanently close Little Parke Creek Road to motorized use, a move that would cut off access to a larger network of routes and set a troubling precedent for future closures. The SEPA process skipped reasonable alternatives and moved forward without meaningful motorized-user involvement. Urge WDFW to reconsider by February 5, 2026.
The Wambaw Trail Riders are a volunteer organization in South Carolina that helps maintain some of the last remaining legal dirt bike trails on federal land. When Hurricane Helene struck in 2024, the trails were heavily damaged—and their volunteer agreements with the U.S. Forest Service were disrupted. With support from the BlueRibbon Coalition, they’ve received promising news, but they still need help! Learn how you can support their efforts below.
In their final days the outgoing administration finalized a Resource Management Plan for 1.87 million–acres of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument that dramatically restricts long-standing recreation and traditional uses. Congress is now pursuing a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn the plan, and on January 15, 2026, the Government Accountability Office confirmed the RMP qualifies as a “rule” subject to CRA submission requirements. Urge your members of Congress to support the review and disapproval of the RMP to restore access for southern Utah’s rural communities and public land recreationists.
The Bureau of Reclamation has released its long-awaited draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Post-2026 Colorado River Operational Guidelines, which will shape how the system is managed through 2060. The analysis lays out several alternatives and also recognizes BlueRibbon Coalition’s recreation-focused “Path to 3588’” proposal. We summarize the different alternatives below. You can weigh in on the decision that will define the region’s water future via our form below. Comments are open until March 2, 2026.
The U.S. Forest Service is taking public comment on a proposal to create a nationwide Environmental Assessment regarding post-wildfire recovery work. Right now, NEPA delays can stretch for years, leaving dangerous trees, erosion, damaged roads/trails, and burned timber to worsen while communities lose access and local economies take the hit. Canada often moves far more quickly after fires, and changes would help bring the U.S. closer to that more effective model. Comments are open through January 26. Add your voice below.

New Endangered Species Act regulations are poised to shape what happens next at Oceano Dunes—one of the only remaining places in California where the public can legally ride OHVs on the beach and dunes. BRC supports a modified version of Alternative 2 because it reflects how the Endangered Species Act is intended to be administered and it will allow for continued and/or expanded OHV access on Oceano Dunes. Public comments are accepted through January 23, 2026!
