Land Use/Access Challenge

All the diverse 4x4, OHV & Sportsman groups need to get over our differences, find common ground so that we can unite as a stronger & more powerfull voice in keeping our trails open. This would also help educate users on proper & responsible use of our public lands not just for us but for our future generations.

So please join all the access groups you can afford to join, "Blue Ribbon Coalition, Tread Lightly & United Four Wheel Drive Association" they need our help financially and as volunteers. If you disagree how they operate or positions they take get involved/volunteer and make a difference from within.

Numbers of organizations as well as individual memberships make a difference - one of the questions I usually get when interacting with government agencies & politicos is how many orgs & constituents do you represent.

Give us some ideas on how we can add our voices to the cause and what we can do to help. Yes, there are some differences I have seen and they run rather deep, but you are very correct about uniting for our collective good.

I belong to numerous clubs, forums, & groups like Tread Lighty, UFWDA, BRC.

I attend meetings & conferences that are great for meeting & establishing relationships with those in BLM, USFS, State Parks, Planners, groups that represent other users of our public lands like the equestrians ect.

Some of my best days on the trails have been while having people from the aforementioned list riding shotgun while learning about each others needs, wants & challenges.
