The comments are in response to the Environmental Assessment for the Ft. Pierce Trail Designation on behalf of our 2,500 members who use our public lands for a variety of purposes. Overall, we believe that the Trail represents a development that is in conflict with the Warner Ridge/Fort Pearce ACEC. We firmly believe that an OHV designated trail adjacent to and near a riparian habitat will have long-term negative impacts to riparian recovery and degradation. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the ACEC for the BLM to choose the no action alternative.
