Time Machine Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) The St. Anthony Dunes are managed by the BLM. The Idaho Falls office, under the direction of Shannon Bassista, is gathering input in preparation for developing a management plan for the St. Anthony Dunes. They are using an online survey as one means of gathering data. After taking the survey, some of us are concerned about the direction this plan may take. There are questions on guide services, increasing commercialization, limiting access and increasing non-motorized activities to name a few. It sounds like higher costs and more regulation. Here's the link to a BLM article that includes the survey link. The survey will be up until December 18. Take it if you'd like. Let them know how you feel. But, in the immortal words of Dalton, "Be Nice". Give them good explanations for why you feel the way you do. After the survey is completed there will probably be some public meetings. Then the data will be studied and a plan developed, probably within the next year. We're hoping to get some local folks involved in that process. http://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/prog/nepa_register/st_anthony_sand_dunes.html Edited December 5, 2015 by Time Machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadarRacing Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 There is nothing good about the BLM and their seizures of property. You would much rather have state control then BLM. The BLM is one of the worst ran organizations that I can think of. Especially the stuff they have done recently with ranchers in Nevada, Idaho and everything from shooting cattle, arson and all committed by the blm. Its beyond nuts of you look into it.

But here in Utah all the best places to ride are BLM land. And they pretty much leave everything alone, and open to riding. Most state owned stuff gates start going in. or they sell to developers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State would sell dunes to developer, then there'd be a fence around them. Riders need to get involved and keep working with BLM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
