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 remote East-Central Idaho, the Salmon-Challis National Forest contains some of Idaho's wildest and most pristine gems. Idaho's largest peak, Mt. Borah, rises to more than 12,600 feet. Portions of the Boulder-White Cloud Mountains and many recommended wilderness areas are also present in this spectacular basin and range country. The Forest is also home for bighorn sheep, salmon, steelhead, and sage-grouse.

The Salmon-Challis National Forest is beginning a process to designate specific roads, trails, and areas for use by dirt bikes, ATVs, and other off-road vehicles. The Forest Service has warned that unmanaged off-road vehicle use is one of the top four threats facing public lands due to its impact on the land, water, wildlife, ecosystem functionality, and other forest recreationists.

Send the Forest Service your letter today to help protect the Salmon-Challis forest and its wildlands, sensitive ecosystems and wildlife habitat, and quiet recreation opportunities from unmanaged dirt bikes, ATVs, and other off-road vehicles.
