Managing Off-Highway Vehicles
http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/ohv/
The U.S. Forest
Service is announcing its draft proposal for
public comment regarding
a national approach
to govern OHV and other motor vehicle use on
national forests
and grasslands.
The
proposed rule would allow the agency to
improve how it manages this use by balancing
the public's enjoyment of using OHVs with
ensuring the best possible care of the
land.
