Trump Moves to Open National Forest Trails to Off-Road Vehicles
Original: Trump Aims to Open Nearly All National Forest Trails to Dirt Bikes and ATVs
The Trump administration is proposing to open nearly all trails in US national forests to dirt bikes, ATVs and other off-road vehicles, a sharp reversal of longstanding limits on motorised use in federal wilderness areas. Environmental groups are expected to oppose the plan, arguing it would damage habitats, disturb wildlife and degrade quiet recreation on public lands.
Why now: A newly announced policy shift on public land use has drawn attention from both outdoor recreation advocates and environmental critics.
