Trump wants to open nearly all national forest trails to dirt bikes and ATVs
The Trump administration plans to reverse the current rule governing motorized access on national forest trails.
The Forest Service proposed keeping trails open to motorized vehicles unless officials specifically designate them as closed.
The proposal would prioritize motorized access on service roads, trails, and backcountry airfields, according to Grist.
Sportsmen, conservation groups, and nonmotorized recreation organizations oppose the proposal, while Kerry White says it would create more recreation opportunities.
