BLM Planning Process Did you get your comments in on the proposed BLM Draft Resource Management Plan (DRMP)? Comments were due by February 8. It’s understandable if you didn’t. Looking at the four-inch thick monster of a document, even the most hearty feel totally helpless. It’s just easier to drop the whole thing and say, “It’s just not worth it!” BLM’s planning process is far to complex for we mere mortals to understand, let alone make sensible comments on. What is happening is not fair. The interests who oppose us have money and as many lawyers as it takes to review and comment on all these plans at once. What can we do? Write to your congressmen, senators, and representatives. Tell them how you feel. For the names and addresses of our legislators, go here. You will also find information on writing and properly addressing your letters.
SPEAR Needs You! Okay, so you've taken the first step & joined SPEAR. Be assured, your $20 will go a long way towards our goal of fighting for public access rights.

We Need Your Help Did you know that there are some out there who would like nothing more than to take away our rights to enjoy our public lands? It's true! If they had it their way, every off road vehicle trail in San Juan County, Utah would be closed. You say you don't believe they can get away with it? Well they are getting away with it. Just look around other parts of the state of Utah and nation-wide. It is important to note that SPEAR is not just about ATV’s. We are about everyone’s right to access our public lands. Whether you enjoy hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, 4-wheeling, bicycling, or a picnic with your family, you are a public land user, and we want to represent your interests. But we need your help. For just $20 per year you and your household will be members of an important organization. An organization that is being heard county wide. An organization that will stand with you and against special interest groups that want to take away your rights to enjoy our public lands.
