Listen "Episode 51: Yuma East Travel Plan Could Close 500 Miles of Off-road Trails in Arizona"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Ben and Simone discuss the Yuma East travel management plan in Southwestern Arizona. They explain the different alternatives proposed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the potential impact on off-roading routes. They highlight the importance of understanding the terms 'OHV limited' and 'administrative use only' when evaluating the proposed closures. They also discuss the presence of wilderness areas and lands with wilderness characteristics in the plan and the implications for road closures. Ben and Simone emphasize the need for public comments and potential litigation to challenge the BLM's interpretation of public land management laws.
