Important Notice – New ORBDR Tracks with changes available for download titled “ORBDR-August2023”
We have made a few important updates to the ORBDR tracks as follows:
“We continue to deal with BDR riders trespassing around gates to gain access to Barnhardy Road, which contains a fragile wet meadow. Functioning meadows are a critical habitat component for sagebrush dependent wildlife and illegal use by BDR riders continue to damage this critical resource. Continued illegal trespass and resource damage by BDR could lead to permanent closure of the roads.
Lastly, we are now in Public Use Restrictions which include, among other fire mitigation and prevention measures, that all motorized vehicles (including motorcycles) carry water or fire extinguisher, shovel, and Pulaski while on Hart Mountain NAR or Sheldon NWR. This is enforceable under refuge regulations.
We ask BDR to work with us and respect the unique qualities of Hart Mountain NAR and preserve its importance to the fragile sagebrush ecosystem.”
