BLM Seeks Public Input on Travel Management Plan for Idaho
Know it is short notice but it just came to attention……
BLM SEEKS PUBLIC INPUT ON TRAVEL MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Salmon Field Office, is holding their second round of public meetings to gather input on a proposed travel plan and alternatives that would formally designate a system of roads and trails on public lands in the northern half of the Salmon Field Office Area. The public is invited to review the proposal and alternatives, provide comments and concerns, and let the BLM know what you think. This planning effort encompasses about 160,000 acres of public lands located within about a 20-mile radius of Salmon, Idaho.
The goal of this plan is to provide a broad range of motorized and non-motorized access while sustaining the health of our public land resources. The plan will result in the designation of over 550 miles of roads and trails as either open, open with limits, or closed to public use. Please try to attend one of the public meetings; dates, times and places are listed below.

Responsible use is key for maintaining motorized routes open; we need to police our own, or lose the priveledge. Report violators!
Second that and well said!!
