By now many of you have heard about the 9th
Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision that ruled in favor of a common sense travel
plan that had been created in an open public process. The 3-judge panel which
included retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor rejected the “arbitrary
and capricious claims” made by anti-access environmental groups against the
Beartooth Ranger District’s travel plan.
BRC Alert on 9th Circuit Decision (with
link to Decision)
HQ believes the OHV Gavel of Justice was used by the
court to dull the 40 year old “Nixon/Carter OHV Executive Order’s” blade so
often wielded in district courts by
hard-core green groups who want to “minimize” (or ban) public access to the FS
road and trail network.
HQ hopes this decision will help the agency get on
with its work of “managing the lands” instead of spending all of its time and
resources battling environmental groups and their attorneys in federal court. It should also make it easier for the agency
to bring historic mapped and signed routes into the system
Let the HQ know if you are unable to download the decision
and we will send you a copy.
