Ok, let’s not play a game since OHV access is serious business!

The subscription is FREE; our continued OHV access is NOT!!!

“Information Is Power”, so how about helping to empower others here and else where by getting involved, subscribing, posting up and spreading the word?

PostSubject: George Washington NF Prepares to Revise Access, Roadless Area & Wilderness Management   Let's Play a Game! EmptyWed Mar 24, 2010 6:19 am

March 10, 2010 – George Washington National Forest in Virginia and West Virginia has published a notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and revised Resource Management Plan (RMP). Some of the major issues to be included in the RMP revision are access, roadless area and wilderness management. Proposed actions relating to these issues include: 1) identifying one new area and three additions to existing wilderness areas that comprise about 20,400 acres as recommended wilderness study areas; 2) expanding the current remote backcountry management area allocation to include more of the Inventoried Roadless Areas and update the management direction for these remote backcountry areas; 3) providing that areas in the potential wilderness area inventory that are actively managed and are not recommended for wilderness study, would remain in active management; & 4) revaluate road access needs.

Comments of the scope of the RMP revision will be accepted until May 7, 2010. Comments may be submitted by email to: comments-southern-georgewashingtonjefferson@fs.fed.us with “GW Plan Revision” in the subject line or by mail to:

George Washington Plan Revision
George Washington & Jefferson National Forests
5162 Valleypointe Parkway
Roanoke, VA 24019-3050

The editors of a local paper calls for county to take action to save the Clear Creek OHV area.
Editorial: Local push could help save Clear Creek
http://hollisterfreelance.com/opinion/264184-editorial-local-push-could-help-sav e-clear-creek

“Clear Creek, operating for 35 years, is "among the top five most popular areas cited by California (off-highway vehicle) users" in a 1990 study from the California Department of Parks and Recreation. There were about 35,000 visitors per year before its closure, according to the BLM's Web site.”

“That is a whole lot less vehicle traffic traveling through Hollister stopping to get gas, buy beer, eat dinner and whatever else might rouse drivers' interests. The local economy already has taken the hit, and the impact with a closure would merely add another structural strain on attempts to revive the flow of business in San Benito County.”

They don't SPAM you for donations, to join or give out your email address to anyone. They just send very informative stuff like this which affects us all but maybe you specifically.

OUTRAGE ON THE OUACHITA – UPDATE
FS Chief Tom Tidwell and Senator Blanche Lincoln tour ATV trails slated for closure on Ouachita NF
http://www.hotsr.com/news/Hot-Springs-FYI/2010/04/01/ohv-access-takes-spotlight-36.php
(registration required for whole story)

Tim Kiser from Tim's Yamaha and Polaris in Mena, Arkansas, sent us word that the meeting with Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell and Senator Blanche Lincoln was positive. At the meeting, Tim and the local OHV clubs stressed that they wanted to work with the Forest Service on the issues at hand and proceed in a positive direction towards keeping the roads and trails open for public use.

In addition to Senator Lincoln, Tim made sure to thank the Ouachita ATV Club, Mena Chamber of Commerce, Congressman Ross and Senator Pryor for all their help.

BRC is proud to have assisted the local folks in writing an appeal to the Ouachita's Travel Plan, which was so poorly written we dubbed it “The Outrage on the Ouachita.” View our appeal here: http://www.sharetrails.org/uploads/Ouachita-NF-Appeal/

Yes, Robert, they do.

Just a suggestion if you can spare five minutes once in a while.

Help your fellow OHV bothers by taking a minute to subscribe to the BRC's Action Alerts and BRC's Recreation News, then post up new topics in this sub-forum that are a good fit for your area and you folks!
