[QUOTE="Canadian Dave, post: 681483, member: 16102"] Alberta has be pulling things like this for years. A great deal of land was lost to Special Placing 2000. Last year the Bighorn area west of Rocky Mountain House i.e. the Nordeg area was under review. Over 99.9% of the land once open to off road riding in that area was closed. Much of what remains open to off road vehicles are nothing more than gavel roads. The Alberta government plans to review land use alone the Rockies right down to the US boarder in the coming years and unless the OHV riders in Alberta can make their case heard we are all in big trouble. The Alberta Off-Highway Vehicle Association is working very hard to help ensure OHV owners have a voice in Alberta and help plug the flood gate of land that’s being closed to our use. Its ironic how many people I talk to about dirt biking in Alberta that scream and holler about land being lost but aren’t members of the AOHVA. If you’re not a member its time to join and become active in saving what land remains open. You can checkout their web page at [url]www.aohva.com[/url] Neil Wig you misunderstand the problem. A great deal of the problem lies with those who do not follow the rules of the road i.e. not sticking to existing trails, leaving piles of garbage behind, overly noisy bikes etc . and the fact the the government wont give OHV groups the resources they need to maintain the riding areas they use. How much of the money that you pay for your OHV registration goes bock to OHV groups and train maintenance . . zero. The Greens are putting a great deal of pressure on the Alberta government to put together a land use management plan for the area that would see zero motorized use. The really ironic thing about all of this is that the government has already said that this review will not affect existing industrial activities in the area. What do they have left to hand the green if oil field exploration and logging are untouched, you got it hand over the OHV owners. [/QUOTE]
