Yet another example of anti-OHV forces using the courts to try to stop motorized recreation,” said Wayne Allard.
“It’s interesting to note that these anti-OHV groups are also challenging five other land management plans in the courts,” Allard said. “The six plans involve about 11 million acres in Utah, which is almost the same amount of land that the groups would prefer to be designated as Wilderness - and then would be off-limits to OHVs - under legislation in Congress called America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act.
“That legislation was introduced by New Jersey U.S. Rep. Rush Holt in the House of Representatives and Illinois U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin in the Senate, and is opposed by Utah’s congressional delegation,” Allard said. “So it’s clear that anti-OHV groups take overlapping approaches in their attempts to get what they want, hoping to succeed one way or another.”
NULLIFICATION! NOW!
