BLM COMMENT PAGE

Remember to be polite and to be pro-active.  We want BLM to know that ORV use on BLM lands is important to Alaskan's as outdoor enthusiasts!  Suggest they work together with local riders, hunters, and sportsman to improve ORV use through unbiased / proactive decisions.  Not to cater to outside environmental groups and their agenda only.

As they improve trail conditions through trail maintenance, trail documentation, trail ORV use agreements, pro-active ORV plans that involve us ALASKAN'S that use these lands!  NOT ANTI ALASKA / ORV USE!
