The plan is good news for off-road riders as the plan will open up 50,000 acres for off-road use within the area. The Dunes are a popular off-road riding area that stretches some 40 miles with an average with of 5 miles.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The plan includes measures to provide recreation opportunities for thousands of visitors by making nearly 180,000 acres (about 84% of the planning area) available for off-highway vehicle (OHV) use, while protecting critical habitat for the threatened Peirson???s Milkvetch by closing the plant???s habitat in the recreation area (about 11,670 acres) to off-highway vehicle use. &#8230;.Per the court order, all injunctive relief, including the closures, will remain in effect for 90 days after the date the BLM signs and issues the Record of Decision. &#8230; Once the injunction is removed, the BLM will manage the area pursuant to the approved Recreation Area Management Plan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a title=\"BLM Issues New Plan for Popular Dune Area\" href=\"http:\/\/holtvilletribune.com\/2013\/06\/25\/blm-issues-final-plan-for-imperial-sand-dunes-recreation-area\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more: ??Holtvilletribune.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>??Comment:<\/strong>?? This is good news not only for off-road riders but dealers and manufacturers as well. The more off-road riding opportunities that are available the better it is for the industry as a whole, especially if they can balance recreation and environmental concerns. The West and Southwest US are a particular hot bed for off-road riding in sandy terrain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has issued a final management plan for the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area in California.
