Save our State Parks - Ask the members of Senate Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure to vote NO on SB 711

URGENT! Contact the Senate Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure

Your advocacy two years ago helped secure an important protection for our WV State Parks and other public lands:

No new motorized trails in our State Parks, Forests, Wildlife Management Areas, and other state public lands!

Now, SB 711 threatens your hard work and threatens our State Parks and other public lands.

SB 711 removes the prohibition against new motorized trails in our state parks.

Just imagine - ATVs on the rim of Blackwater Falls, hunters and anglers no longer able to enjoy Wildlife Management Areas - the list goes on and on.

Off-road vehicles impact our air, water, and public lands. The trails are expensive to build and expensive to maintain.

Motorized trails are simply not a good fit in our WV public lands.

We need your help NOW. Please tell the members of the Senate Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure to Reject SB 711 and the committee substitute. Tell the Committee to please protect our State Parks from motorized vehicles.

Let the Senate Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure know you love our WV State Parks and our public lands -- with no motorized trails!

We just need few pieces of information to connect you with your representatives. We encourage you to personalize your comment to make an even greater impact.

Members of WV Senate Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure

Subject: Protect our State Parks - Please vote no SB 711

Message:

I love our West Virginia State Parks and other public lands. SB 711 would remove the safeguards against motorized trails in our state's public lands. Our State Parks are unique lands, set aside and conserved to preserve irreplaceable ecosystems and views, and our West Virginia history and culture. Our Forests are managed to ensure healthy timber for generations to come. Our Wildlife Management Areas preserve habitat for wildlife for hunting and fishing. Our Rail Trails and other state public lands provide recreational opportunities and economic development and also deserve protection. SB 711 opens ALL these lands to offroad vehicles, from dark skies in Watoga and scenic vistas at Blackwater Falls to every forest and wildlife management area. Motorized trails are expensive to build and maintain - off-road vehicles cause soil erosion, noise pollution, and other disruptions to our public lands and waters - and are not compatible with the purposes of our public lands. Please protect our State Parks and all state public lands from off-road vehicles and vote NO on the committee substitute and SB 711.
