CONGRESSMEN PETITION BLM TO REOPEN CLEAR CREEK RECREATION AREA

 

 

COTTONWOOD, CA  (APRIL 7, 2022) -  OHV enthusiasts cheer two local congressional representatives  in Central California who sent a joint letter today to the BLM CA State Director, Karen Mouritsen, urging her to take administrative action to reopen the Clear Creek Recreation Area to managed OHV use.  Congressmen Jimmy Panetta and David Valadao said restoring public access would also benefit non-motorized recreation and address illegal uses.

 


Don Amador, President of Quiet Warrior Racing and Director of Government Affairs for AMA District 36, states, “The joint letter sent by Congressmen Panetta and Valadao petitioning the BLM to reopen Clear Creek is just the sort of good news the OHV community needs to hear.”

 

The letter also cited the field trip last year of Clear Creek as an important opportunity for local stakeholders and government representatives to learn about the risks associated with reopening the area, as well as for BLM to hear the concerns of the community that strongly supports reopening of the recreation area.



 

“I believe this joint letter will be the catalyst for starting an administrative planning process for reopening Clear Creek and reestablishing it as an important part of the OHV recreation land matrix to help address capacity challenges at other federal and state riding areas in California,” Amador concludes.
