Designed as a resource for public land management agency staff, law enforcement officials, and citizens groups, this document outlines Best Management Practices (BMPs) to aid land managers in travel planning or in any decision-making process related to off-road vehicle management on forested lands.

While many land management activities rely on established Best Management Practices, until now no BMPs have been developed to manage off-road vehicles on forestlands. These BMPs, based on the best available scientific knowledge, fill this gap of forestland off-road vehicle management, and covers the following topics: Laws and Regulations for off-road vehicles, Forest Soils, Vegetation, Wildlife, Special Ecosystems, Use Conflicts, and Research Needs.
