We Fight For Your Access To Public Lands!

Nobody in the United States has the ability to engage public land users in defense of motorized access, like we do! We make it easy to engage in policy proposals that affect motorized access, dispersed camping, and water in Arizona.

Sedona

Sedona City Officials are pressuring the Coconino National Forest to prohibit dispersed camping and initiate a permit system on populair forest roads around Sedona.

Anti access groups are claiming that OHVs are destroying the natural landscape and petroglyphs by kicking up large dust clouds. In addition to motorized restrictions, the City is attempting to regulate OHV businesses like adult sex shops.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION!

The Apache Trail

Arizona’s most iconic and scenic road is closed, and we need your help re-opening this national treasure.

Three years ago, the Woodbury Wildfire cause significant damage to the surrounding National Forest. Shortly after, a large tropical storm ripped through the area, causing a rockfall on Fish Creek Hill. Since that time, ADOT has indefinitely closed a 7 mile section between Fish Creek Hill to Apache Lake Marina.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION!

The landowners are proposing an alternate route around the resort. If approved, this plan will forfeit a long-standing RS 2477 Right-Of-Way that is protected under state and federal law.
