    Posted by · April 20, 2020 8:36 AM
    Two news stories about OHV patrolling related to the Morongo Basin appeared recently.

Through grant funding they have added a vehicle focused on patrolling illegal OHV hotspots and have increased staffing levels.

    BLM WEMO Land Use Plan Published

    Posted by · May 14, 2019 10:39 AM
    MBCA has offered information and advice to Morongo Basin residents for several years concerning WEMO, the West Mojave BLM Land Use Management plan related to off-highway vehicle use. A lot of focused effort and detailed research was conducted a year ago by MBCA Board members Pat Flanagan, Sarah Kennington, and Steve Bardwell, along with many other Basin residents, to advise the BLM in the prior comment period of dozens of OHV "routes" that were untenable. In the recently-released West Mojave Route Network Project Land Use Plan Amendment to the California Desert Conservation Area Plan and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS), the hard work seems to have paid off and many of the targeted routes no longer exist in the Plan. An assessment and links for this final review can be accessed at the Community ORV Watch website.
