ARIZONA BLM TRAVEL MANAGEMENT PLANNING COMMENT DEADLINE IS OCTOBER 31, 2010
Dear BRC members, supporters and action alert subscribers,
Bruce Spiers, President of the Havasu 4 Wheelers (www.havasu4wheelers.org), wanted to make sure BRC’s members in Arizona send comments in on an important Travel Plan. The Arizona Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Lake Havasu Field Office, has extended their Travel Management Planning comment deadline until October 31, 2010.
To assist members and the general public in writing and submitting effective comments to the BLM, the Havasu 4 Wheeler’s Public Lands Committee will be hosting a comment letter writing clinic at the Mohave County Library as follows:
- Monday October 18, 2010, 5:00 to 9:00 PM
- Please note that the training day is broken up into 50-minute sessions starting every hour on the hour. Pick a time that works for you – no appointment required.
I have pasted Bruce’s email below; please take a minute to read it over.
Please pass this on to your friends, family and anyone who you think might be able to help.
Thanks in advance for your involvement,
Ric Foster

RE: BLM CLOSURE ALERT
For the past 6 weeks the Havasu 4 wheelers, a club of 150 families, have been documenting the impact of proposed route closures on off road tracks or trails in the area. Just one small route closure can cut off access to an entire trail or area.
WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE HELP. TIME IS SHORT, WITH THE COMMENT DEADLINE OCTOBER 31, 2010. PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR MEMBERS TO ACCESS OUR WEBSITE.
REVIEW THE CLUB DOCUMENTATION AND WRITE COMMENT LETTERS SUPPORTING BLM MAP D, WITH NOTED CHANGES.
Our cover page, and accompanying information, documents the impact of the BLM recommended Map C closures on the Havasu Unit area immediately around Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
The web site also contains instructions on how to access the BLM maps and documentation and the BLM Comment form that can be downloaded. Letters and emails to the Lake Havasu BLM office are also acceptable. A list of sample comments is also shown on the web site. Your personal thoughts and experiences should be voiced.
PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND CONTACT THE LAKE HAVASU BLM WITH YOUR CONCERNS.
Public land closure to off highway vehicle use is increasing across the nation. Your efforts will help keep Havasu Trails open for everyone’s use and may help stop closures in the future.
Thank you for your action
