Send a fax before September 13 to the Forest Service about its proposed off-road vehicle rule. The future of our National Forests and the values they represent are threatened by growing and uncontrolled use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles (ORVs), also known as off-highway vehicles (OHVs). On July 7 the U.S. Forest Service announced plans to specify which roads and trails are open to off-highway vehicles. As written, the proposed rules will not protect our National Forests. Please ask the Forest Service to improve its proposed off-road vehicle rule, to better protect public lands and wildlife.

In many of America's National Forests, off-road vehicles are able to drive almost anywhere. The Forest Service reports that more than 273,000 miles of roads and other routes are open to various off-road vehicles. In some forests, ATVs and dirt bikes can travel virtually without limit across hundreds of thousands -- even millions -- of acres. Our National Forests are threatened by growing and uncontrolled use of ATVs, dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles. Your comments can help ensure that meaningful regulations are adopted.

Remember, the comment period ends on September 13 and the Forest Service will not accept comments after that time.

Thank you for helping us protect the environment for future generations.

Sincerely,

Lillian Miller
