Save the new Billings Canyon Four Wheel Drive Trail
From the Grand Mesa Jeep Club
Recently the Grand Mesa Jeep Club and the BLM signed an adopt-a-trail agreement to construct a new four-wheel drive trail south of Grand Junction. Anti-access activists have since then organized a campaign to urge Ann Morgan, the Colorado State Director of the BLM, to reverse the Grand Junction field office's decision to allow this trail.
We need YOU to send a letter supporting the field office's decision, the adopt-a-trail agreement, and the trail to Ann Morgan. Even if you are not a 4WD enthusiast, you need to send a letter because the issue of additional recreational opportunities being added to meet the burgeoning demand is an important one for all types of OHV users--including ATVers, motorcyclists, and snowmobilers!
Important: the deadline is Sunday, December 16, 2001, so your letter MUST be in the mail on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2001, in order to be POSTMARKED before the deadline because the post office is closed on Sunday.
Instructions
Copy and paste the sample letter below into your word processor.
Add your name and address to the top.
Make any changes to personalize your letter.
Print out and sign the letter.
Mail on or before Saturday, December 15, 2001.
Sample Letter
December 5, 2001
Your Name and Address
Ann Morgan, State Director
Colorado State Office
Bureau of Land Management
2815 Youngfield Street
Lakewood, CO 80215
Dear Director Morgan:
This letter is in support of Catherine Robertson's decision to allow a new four-wheel drive trail in a portion of Billings Canyon. This trail would replace the unique four-wheel drive opportunities that were lost when Bangs Canyon Management Plan was implemented.
This is an ideal canyon to have the trail in because no new access routes are needed, it is in a steep sided canyon, and it is mostly sandstone and boulders. This would keep the environmental impact to a minimum.
New trail construction is allowed for in the Bangs Canyon Management Plan and the Grand Mesa Jeep Club has followed all of BLM's processes and procedures to get approval to build this trail.
I urge you to support Catherine Robertson's decision to allow this project to continue.
Sincerely,
Your Signature
