ShareTrails | Oppose The Owyhee Wilderness in Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho

Senator Wyden of Oregon has proposed a bill which will designate 1,134,292 acres as Wilderness completely restricted from motorized and mechanized use in the south eastern corner of Oregon and into Idaho. That is larger than the entire state of Rhode Island. This area already sees large amounts of wildfires and restrictive management will only exacerbate this issue. The resources they claim to want to protect are the most threatened because of wildfires.

Known for overlanding, off-roading, single track use and many forms of recreation this bill would be catastrophic to the current and future users and communities of this area.

We need your voice in opposing this legislation. Contact your members of Congress below and tell them to vote against this bill.
