Preserve our Trails!
Friday, April 27th, 2007Legislation is continuously being passed that threatens the livelihood of our sport. Trails systems are being closed because of the perception that offroad vehicles are destroying the environment and that our sport is one made up of irresponsible hicks going out and destroying the forest. Help protect our vital trails by signing the petition below. Everything we can do helps!
By signing the Public Lands Petition you are advocating the following:
- “BackCountry Recreation Designation will promote greater biodiversity by allowing active management under the strictest regulations in the world.”
- “Support the creation of a federally legislated Semi Primitive BackCountry Recreation designation to preserve all existing Multiple Use lands for all existing forms of recreation & management.”
- “We are opposed to the creation of a pilot program of Wildland Restoration Areas, which propose to remove 6300 miles of backcountry roads without any public involvement.”

If you haven’t heard already, Al Gore has made a documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” on the causes and the effects of global warming. No matter what political persuasion you are, i urge everyone to go out and watch this movie. Form your own opinion about it. Comment on it here after you have watched it.
