Off-road vehicles have been running rampant in southwestern New Mexico, tearing up streams, crushing vegetation and ruining habitat for fish and wildlife. Right now, you have an opportunity to tell the Gila National Forest what you think of its new off-road vehicle plan.

Last month the Forest Service held a series of meetings to educate the public about the new plan. Center supporters showed up to learn about the plan and speak up for Mexican gray wolves, Southwestern willow flycatchers and imperiled native fish. The Gila National Forest needs to hear your comments on the plan by March 7; even if you weren't able to attend the meetings in January, we’ve made it easy for you to get involved.

Join us in letting the Forest Service know that we value quiet forests, clean water and protecting wildlife habitat, and that we don't want places like the San Francisco River turned into motorized playgrounds.
