ARRA Adds New Feature!
Get ARRA and our partners involved in your local Forest decision-making process.
ARRA is collaborating with the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council, the American Motorcyclist Association, the BlueRibbon Coalition and United Four Wheel Drive Associations to provide a website that you can use to let us know where our groups need to focus attention. Please visit the new LAND Database <https://online2.svia.org/Land/> to keep us abreast of all that is happening with regard to the OHV route designation rule on your local Forest.
Forums a Venue to Discuss Recreational Opportunities A series of Recreation Forums convened by the American Recreation Coalition (ARC) and the National Forest Foundation in conjunction with the US Forest Service and other agencies and partners will be held throughout the country this Spring. Regional Forums will be conducted in Golden, Co, Marietta, GA, Los Angeles, CA, Portland, OR and Chicago, IL. The Regional Forums will produce information and a listing of suggestions and recommendations for a national Recreation Forum in Washington, DC, in April 2007. Please attend the regional forum in your area to provide input about your chosen form of recreation. The forums are free, anyone can register to speak and all written comments will be accepted. These forums are an opportunity to communicate how important continued access for OHVs, snowmobiles, powerboats, horseback riders or other forms of recreation is to you. Additional information can be obtained from the American Recreation Coalition website <http://www.funoutdoors.com/recreationforums> . It is important to note that anyone who wishes to have an opportunity to speak at the Forums will have to register in advance. We will provide you with information on how to register when it becomes available. Save the date for the Regional Forum in your area. If you do not live near any of these forums you may still participate by submitting written comments. A website is being constructed to accept comments and we will notify you when it is complete.
