[Impact Report] The road less traveled needs protection

The hidden rule standing between order and chaos on the trails.

Dear Momoko,

Whether you're spending the summer hiking in the wilderness, riding your favorite bike trail, camping with family or simply enjoying the peace of public lands, a little-known U.S. Forest Service safeguard called the Travel Management Rule (TMR) likely helped make that experience possible.

Most people have never heard of it. When it's working, that's exactly the point. Learn more about the Travel Management Rule >>

The Travel Management Rule helps protect the places you love.

Public lands are big enough for many types of recreation, and the TMR sets clear rules for motorized travel across different landscapes. It provides consistent guidance on how and where off-road vehicles can travel to protect wildlife, cultural sites and the overall outdoor experience. It also balances recreation with visitor safety and conservation, so that current and future generations can continue to enjoy the places we've come to love and depend on.

The administration is planning to scrap it.

Even as millions of Americans head outdoors this summer, the administration is moving to repeal the TMR as part of a broader effort to weaken protections for our public lands.

If that happens, the places we love could soon become more confusing to navigate, more vulnerable to damage, less safe, and less able to protect the wildlife, habitats and cultural sites that make these landscapes so special. Learn more about how the administration is working to overturn this rule and what it could mean for you and the public lands you love >>

Here's how you can help:

The Wilderness Society is working to defend critical safeguards like the Travel Management Rule and make sure folks know what's at stake. Get the facts about the TMR and help spread the word >>

The wild places we love don't stay protected by accident—they stay protected because public lands champions like you step up to defend them. Thank you for everything you do to stand up for our natural world.

Sincerely,

The Wilderness Society

P.S. Every trail hiked, campsite enjoyed and wild landscape explored depends on protections that keep public lands healthy and accessible. Make a tax-deductible gift today to help defend critical safeguards like the TMR so wildlife can thrive, people can continue to experience the freedom to explore and future generations can inherit the same remarkable public lands we cherish today.

Insight Panel: Extreme heat and wildfires

Share your experience & strengthen our advocacy >>

Hi Momoko,

We recently reached out to ask how you're weathering this summer's wildfires and extreme heat.

If you haven't had a chance yet, please let us know. Whether you've been directly affected or you've been watching from a distance, your stories help us bring lived experiences to decision-makers and strengthen our efforts fighting actions that weaken our nation's ability to prevent, prepare for and respond to wildfires and other extreme weather events.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

With appreciation,

Andrea O’Brien
