Extractions: Invasive species impact a wide range of recreational activities, among them biking, hiking, camping, and horseback riding. Invasives interfere with these activities by degrading the ecological environment and lowering the aesthetic value of some popular places to bike, hike, camp, and ride. Also, some invaders are toxic, so recreationists have to be careful to avoid harmful plants such as giant hogweed or insects like imported fire ants.

Extractions: This national park features the greatest concentration of natural stone arches in the world. To date, over 2,000 arches have been found and roads and trails in the park lead to many of them. The park is open year-round, and a 21 mile paved road leads visitors to major points of interest like the Window Section, Balanced Rock, Park Avenue and Wolfe Ranch. A graded dirt road goes to Klondike Bluffs. Just off the main road, many short trails lead to dramatic arches, including a 3-mile round trip to famed Delicate Arch, the arch on the Utah Centennial license plate. Ranger-guided hikes are conducted through the Fiery Furnace section during the summer (fee required). Entrance fees are collected. The visitor center, located at the entrance to the park is open year-round. Located 25 miles south of I-70 just off U.S. 191 and 5 miles north of Moab.

Isn't recreation the use we want to encourage? It depends what we mean by recreation. Under the guise of promoting recreation, the Forest Service and other federal land-management agencies, along with their private corporate partners and encouraged by some members of Congress, have been advancing what could be an equally serious threat to our lands. Industrial-strength recreation The center of controversy is the Demonstration Recreation Fee Program ("Fee Demo"). In 1996 Congress authorized the four major federal land-management agencies (Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and Fish and Wildlife Service) to "implement a fee program to demonstrate the feasibility of user-generated cost recovery for the operation and maintenance of recreation areas or sites . . . on Federal Lands". Fee Demo is the most systematic attempt yet to establish commercial recreation on federal lands.

Extractions: DEP Commissioner Campbell Announces Off-Road Vehicle Policy Reinforces Ban on Public Lands; Seeks Maximum Fines, Additional Sanctions for Illegal Use (02/95) TRENTON -New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Bradley M. Campbell today announced a new policy regarding Off Road Vehicle (ORV) activities on DEP-administered lands that calls for strict enforcement of laws prohibiting ORV use on state property and seeks the maximum $1,000 penalty for all potential violators. "Public safety and natural resource protection continue to be at risk as a result of rampant, unlawful ORV use in our parks, forests and wilderness areas," said Commissioner Campbell. "This policy reinforces the DEP's zero tolerance for illegal ORV use. It also directs the department to work cooperatively with the state Department of Transportation to establish new regulations and sanctions to deter ORV violators."
Extractions: Sunset Lake Park opened on February 11, 2000 with a dedication and grand opening event that showcased this one of a kind park located between the shores of Nueces Bay and Corpus Christi Bay between Portland and Corpus Christi. It is an ecologically rich wetland and saltwater lake habitat designed and operated to provide a broad range of outdoor recreational opportunities. Unique to Sunset Lake Park is a two (2) mile hike and bike trail constructed on an old roadway that transects one of the most diverse coastal marsh and wetland habitats anywhere along the Texas Coast. Nature interpretation boardwalks provide naturalists a view of hundreds of species of birdlife, roosting, nesting and feeding in diverse coastal marsh. Outdoors enthusiasts can fish, swim, canoe, kayak, sail, hike, bike or enjoy birdwatching. The project fulfills a City of Portland vision, where habitat protection and public use are cooperatively planned to improve the outdoor experience, while maintaining our pristine coastal resources.
Extractions: ALTERNATIVE E INTRODUCTION In this alternative, some areas would have routes designated for motorized travel, while other areas would be closed to these uses, emphasizing access by foot or on horseback. To accommodate current and expected visitation, signs and facilities such as developed campgrounds, picnic areas, and interpretive sites would be focused in the more developed areas and along major access routes. Other uses, including utility lines and other rights-of-way, commercial operations, fuelwood cutting, and competitive events, would be managed under permit or other systems to ensure resource protection. Consistent with the focus on recreation and the visitor experience, recreation activities would generally take precedence over all other permitted land uses in the event that irreconcilable conflicts develop. In carrying out research projects, researchers would be subject to the access criteria established for the various zones; only limited exceptions for significant research opportunities would be made. Research would be prioritized by zone, with the highest priority placed on researching highly disturbed areas. Priority would also be given to projects with an outreach and education component aimed at promoting stewardship of Monument resources.

Extractions: Recreation Plan will deny ATV access to the entire Region 7 Feb 28, 2002 is the deadline for public comment on a plan by DEC which will ban the development of ATV trails on state reforestation areas within Region 7. Region 7 Draft Recreation Plan (PDF 752kb) Link to sample letter text The draft Recreation Plan for Region 7 was released in December 2001, and contains a proposal ban to trails from being developed on state lands for ATVs and off-highway motorcycles. This is a the states ironic reaction to overwhelming requests for ATV access to be developed on state lands and is an outgrowth of the denial of the Treaty Line ATV Trail proposal denied in 2001 . TLUMP was a close call for those in state government and anti-access groups who opposed state land ATV trails, and likely drove the lock-down in the proposed Rec. Plan.

Extractions: Motorized recreation can take a variety of forms including winter or summer, trail-based, off-trail or cross-country travel, utility travel for another activity such as hunting, and intensive use or play areas. These different use types have varying potential ecological impacts including soil erosion, plant and wildlife disturbance, transport of non-native invasive species, noise and exhaust emissions. Depending on the design and level of use, winter trail based motorized recreation tends to have the least ecological impact. If motorized recreation continues to increase these negative ecological impacts will be expected. These impacts can be minimized through proper trail planning, user education, increased law enforcement, increased maintenance and decreased densities on any given location. Economic Many northern Wisconsin communities have recognized motorized recreation as a significant positive economic factor, particularly with national recognition of snowmobiling in Wisconsin. Some view motorized recreation as an opportunity to diversify local economies with new users who will spend money on services such as restaurants and motels. In areas where economies may be strongly based on the existing non-motorized recreational users, increasing motorized recreation may result in a decrease in the attraction to other users. Motorized users tend to spend more on their recreation than other outdoor users but have lower spending near their recreation site than other users. This is likely due to the high cost of their machines that are often purchased close to the users place of residence.

Extractions: National Coalition of Motorcyclists (NCOM) FEDS ENDORSE HEALTH CARE DISCRIMINATION For the past several years, motorcyclists have rightfully believed that we had won the federally protected right to medical benefits from our health care providers in the event of an accident. But now, over four years since bikers from across the country successfully lobbied Congress to ban health insurance discrimination against motorcycle riders, new regulations released recently may actually have the opposite effect. The original intent of the legislation, the Health Insurance Portability Act of 1996, was to protect employees from being discriminated against by being denied coverage ''due to their participation in activities such as motorcycling, snowmobiling, all-terrain vehicle riding, horseback riding, skiing and other similar activities,'' according to the Congressional Record from that time.
