For those that don't subscribe to the BRC email, here it is reposted. Lots of great news here!
Today's Land Use Update was a blast to write. There are a lot of really great things happening to protect your recreational access.
Among the items is news that the House passed the provision offered by Congressman Paul Cook that would save the Johnson Valley OHV Area (A.K.A the Hammers). The provision now moves to the Senate. (Cook served as an Marine infantry officer, and during his time in combat, he was awarded the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts)
Also in this update are two items of legal sweetness. Sweetness in the form of a federal court slap-down of foundation funded anti-recreation lawyers! Love it!! We also have an update on our lawsuit challenging the U.S. Forest Service's new planning regulations. DO NOT miss those items.
We also have news that the notorious anti-recreation activists at the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) have decided to participate in a collaborative effort to formulate a federal land bill for eastern Utah. We speculate below that SUWA might well play the role of the spoiler, participating only long enough to find a reason to bolt from the process and then appeal to President Obama to unilaterally impose SUWA's long sought plans for a Greater Canyonlands National Monument. With OHV trails near Moab and the San Rafael Swell in the cross-hairs, you won't want to miss this important update!
And finally, we've included a bit of Shameless Self Promotion via CNN's Anderson Cooper.
As always, please feel free to call or email if you have any questions or comments.
