The Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public
Lands of the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources has scheduled a
hearing on October 1 to consider H.R. 1925, America's Red Rock
Wilderness Act of 2009. This legislation -- which will ban off-highway
vehicle (OHV) access to public lands to those who live and recreate in
Utah -- was introduced by New York Representative Maurice Hinchey.

However, not a single Representative from Utah is supporting H.R.
1925.
Specifically, H.R. 1925 would designate more than nine million more
acres as federally protected "Wilderness," and directly affect the
Moab, San Rafael Swell and Chimney Rock areas (to name a few) in Utah.
These popular OHV areas represent some of the most important remaining
OHV recreation areas in Utah, and are some of the most popular with
responsible OHV riders. The proposed Wilderness designation would also
make the land off limits to ATV riders, mountain bikers and horseback
riders.
Coming on the heels of the recently enacted Omnibus Public Land
Management Act, which closed 2 million acres of public lands, this
vast Wilderness bill will take away additional recreation
opportunities currently enjoyed by local residents and visitors alike.
