What's Wrong with Off-Road Vehicles?

Off-road vehicles scar the land and harass wildlife
Off-road vehicles are noisy -- they drown out the peace and quiet of nature
Off-road vehicle abuse and trespass violates the rights of other forest users and private land owners
Two-stroke engines are inefficient and polluting, dumping up to 30 percent of their unburned fuel onto the landscape and into the air and water
Off-road vehicle use causes soil displacement and compaction, erosion, stream sedimentation, increased wildlife mortality, habitat disturbance, and more
Sensitive streams, riparian areas, and desert ecosystems are often targeted by motorized recreationists.

Wildlands CPR seeks to prevent the motorized abuse of public lands -- lands that make our lives richer and are our children's birthright.
