Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit WildAlert.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Nestled in the southeast corner of Oregon, Steens Mountain towers one vertical mile above the high desert.  Here, one can explore glaciated valleys replete with majestic bighorn sheep, stands of quaking aspen, and alpine meadows where golden eagles soar high above.  Steens is an ideal place for quiet backcountry recreation and experiences, and is a jewel in our National Landscape Conservation System.

The Bureau of Land Management is beginning to plan where motorized vehicles will be allowed on Steens.  What the BLM is considering could seriously undermine the very qualities that make Steens special, by dramatically increasing off-road vehicle (ORV) use and officially permitting ORVs in currently protected Wilderness and Wilderness Study Areas!  Let's nip this in the bud before the BLM formalizes its proposal. Please add your own thoughts to our letter, below, then click on Send This Message.
