Dear Alaska OHV Enthusiast:
The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) is a nonprofit 501c3 organization dedicated to creating a positive future for off-highway vehicle recreation. You can learn more at www.nohvcc.org. NOHVCC is working in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), to create an Alaska Statewide OHV Action Plan. To make this happen we need your assistance in learning how the BLM can better provide access to high quality OHV recreation experiences in the state of Alaska. In 2014 NOHVCC and the BLM partnered to develop a National Motorized Recreation Action Strategy designed to help the BLM develop individual state action plans for providing high quality OHV opportunities and develop partnerships to help maintain those opportunities. This process has created state specific OHV action plans in nine other states where the BLM manages public land. The strategies will be used to help guide future travel management and resource management decisions; however, the strategies are NOT part of a specific travel management plan. In developing these strategies, you as an enthusiast will have a chance to share your thoughts on the following topics: • What activities are taking place on BLM-managed lands in Alaska? • Where in general are these OHV activities taking place? • What experiences are you looking for on BLM-managed lands? • Where might these missing activities fit on BLM-managed lands in Alaska? • What could the land managers do better to enhance your recreation Alaska? Without your help and the help of other OHV recreationalists like you, we will not be able to answer the questions above and you could miss out on a chance to provide ideas that could lead to enhancements to the areas and trail systems you enjoy.
To help us gather this very important information, NOHVCC held a series of community listening sessions, and now will be conducting virtual sessions. These virtual listening sessions will be held December 3-4, 2024 at 6 PM Alaska Time and held on teams.
