In addition, HQ salutes the 70 outdoor recreation groups who also sent a recent letter to the Chief of the Forest Service asking him to promote and protect multiple-use recreation on Forest Service System lands.

The General appreciates the various OHV groups such as AMA, MIC, SVIA, ARRA, BRC, NOHVCC and many others who signed this important letter. HQ asks you to review who signed this letter and send them a thank you.
As some of you know, there is a lot of hard work (often behind the scenes) underway by a number of OHV groups and individuals to promote and protect responsible OHV recreation on public lands. Much of this work goes unnoticed and underappreciated.
The General is taking special note of the above work and is sending several thank you notes today. HQ hopes you do the same.

Historically, federal land use planning was guided by a multiple-use concept that had a recreation tenet. The new planning regulations appear to focus on global warming and “restoration” (an enviro code word for ripping roads/trails) with motorized recreation potentially being tossed in the land-use basement. I know this is a late notice and the comment period ends today, but please take time to send in a letter now.
Send this alert to your email network!
