The BLM is AGAIN proposing to designate ten backco The BLM is AGAIN proposing to designate ten backcountry airstrips for private aircraft use in the Moab and Monticello areas. Several are located in remote, ecologically sensitive landscapes near Gemini Bridges/Labyrinth Canyon, Canyonlands National Park, and the original boundaries of Bears Ears National Monument. 

COMMENTS DUE THIS THURSDAY SEPT 3!

These areas support bighorn sheep, burrowing owls, ferruginous hawks, and other wildlife, and the BLM acknowledges that aircraft noise and visual intrusions would diminish natural soundscapes and solitude.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched a process to significantly revise its Travel Management Rule, which guides where motorized vehicles are and are not allowed on almost 200 million acres of national forests and grasslands. 

The USDA is proposing to flip the U.S. Forest Service’s longstanding approach to travel management on its head, forcing local forests to allow motorized vehicles everywhere except for places that are specifically closed. The current rule requires motorized vehicles to stay on a designated system of roads, trails and areas in national forests and grasslands and is an essential policy for wildlife conservation, balanced recreation and public safety. 

This comes directly on the heels of the USDA’s proposed repeal of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which would make 45 million acres of remote backcountry forests available for clearcut logging, road-building and other development, unleashing back-to-back blows to our national forests. Combined, these actions are part of the administration’s systematic dismantling of the rules and safeguards that keep national forests safe, accessible, and managed for everyone.
