HQ Western States Alert - Sage Grouse Meetings Start Today


The Recreation HQ wants to send out a quick update today regarding a federal planning effort related to the Sage Grouse. HQ believes it could be the rangeland version of the Northern Spotted Owl controversy that shut down the lumber industry during the Timber Wars (circa 1990-2000).

HQ believes it is critically important for OHV users to get engaged in this process since the potential impact to OHV use -- particularly OHV events -- is huge.

Be assured HQ will be monitoring this issue.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.
