Sign Petition to Help Keep Motorcycle ATV and OHV Areas Open

Filed in archive ATV , Legislation/Environment News , Motorcycle , News , Off-Road , OHV Areas on June 1, 2007

The 2007 Boxer California Wild Heritage Bill S-493 wants to add 36 Wilderness areas totaling over 1.1 million acres

* It includes three inappropriate Wilderness additions in the Sequoia, which would close 46 existing trails to multiple use.
* Motorized groups have adopted at least 7 trails within the area proposed to be closed to them
* None of these volunteer groups were contacted to ask if they thought these Wilderness proposals were appropriate
* None of these areas were recommended for Wilderness by the Sequoia National Forest

There is an online petition trying to stop the addition of more Wilderness areas that close that land to use by us. Voting will likely take place by the end of this year. Sign the petition and contact your legislator (see below) http://www.petitiononline.com/boxer/petition.html
