COMMENTS DUE: Nearly 150,000 acres burned on the Kaibab Plateau in 2025. Trails and campgrounds are still blocked by fire-killed trees, and access has been closed for months. The Forest Service has a plan to fix it. The Kaibab Plateau Public and Firefighter Safety Project would clear hazard trees along 135 miles of roads and 22 miles of trails, and build fuel breaks that reduce the risk of the next large-scale closure. Tell the Forest Service you back the plan and want want safe open roads and hiking trails.

Comments close June 20. Submit through BRC so your voice is on the record. Link in BRC bio.

Edit: An earlier version of this post had “roads” in the headline when it should have read “trails.”

Mission Accomplished! Two Executive Orders used to close access to our public lands were rescinded. We now have a lot of work to do to make these changes endure through future administrations.

Comments Due! The BLM's High Desert Trail project would formally designate an 810-mile route across western Utah, using roads and trails already open to the public today. BRC supports the designation and the preferred Alternative B, the longer, more scenic route that brings the most economic benefit. Submit a comment backing Alternative B and tell the BLM to choose it. Link below!

We are all OHV users - even the purists who just want everyone to walk, still use OHVs to get to trailheads. What kind of OHV do you use to access public lands?

Thank you Representative Mike Kennedy for introducing the Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act in the House of Representatives! This is another big win from our trip to DC last week. The momentum is growing, and we need everyone to add their support for keeping our public lands open for all Americans. Check link in bio/comments to add your voice.

Today Department of the Interior launched a nationwide review of Wilderness Study Area policies. Finally! These areas have been studied long enough, and it is time to start managing our public lands in ways that they can be enjoyed by more of the public. This is a major win and something we have been pushing for in our numerous visits to Washington DC over the last 18 months.

BREAKING: One Step Closer to Permanently Repealing the Roadless Rule— the rule that locked up 58.5 million acres of National Forest land, blocking road maintenance, wildfire mitigation, and reasonable access for 25 years! S. 140, the Wildfire Reduction Act, just passed committee! H.R. 7695, its companion in the House, is up for a vote now.

If you've followed our 24-year fight against the Roadless Rule, you know why this matters. Last June, the USDA proposed to rescind the Rule and reopen nearly 59 million acres of National Forest. That was a big win in the right direction. It was also an administrative action, and administrative actions can be reversed by the next administration with the stroke of a pen.

We've lived that whiplash before. The only way to end the cycle is for Congress to repeal the rule by law and block any lookalike rule in the future. That's exactly what S. 140 and H.R. 7695 do.

Committee passage is real momentum. It is not the finish line. Both bills still need votes, and members of Congress review every constituent message when deciding where to stand. Anti-access groups are already pressuring them to kill these bills. Your representatives need to hear from the people who actually use these forests.

It takes two minutes. Fill out the form, and your message goes straight to your representatives asking them to support both bills and kill the Roadless Rule once and for all. Link below!

The Roadless Rule and litigation tactics are weaponized by anti-access orgs to stop the USFS from doing their job. This has resulted in catastrophic wildfires which destroys forests, homes and economies and can inhibit recreation for years. We joined the Western Caucus Foundation in D.C. last week to talk about this with Senator Tim Sheehy and Brian Fennessy, director of the U.S. Wildland Fire Service

Tim Sheehy is a U.S. Senator from Montana and the founder of Bridger Aerospace, one of the largest aerial firefighting companies in the country. Bridger has flown firefighting missions across 24 states and two Canadian provinces. A former Navy SEAL officer and combat veteran, Sheehy has translated his operational firefighting background into wildfire legislation.

Brian Fennessy began his career with the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, working as a hotshot crewmember, helitack captain, and crew superintendent. He then joined the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, where he rose to Chief, before leading the Orange County Fire Authority as Chief. He now serves as the inaugural Director of the United States Wildland Fire Service. Along the way, he spent roughly a decade representing the International Association of Fire Chiefs on the National Wildfire Coordinating Group Leadership Subcommittee.
