This is the site for the Blue Ribbon Coalation, which is group of people who defend against unfair land closures, and try to educate the owners of motorized off-road vehicles of the vitures of Treading Lightly and respect for the environment and other people who use the trails.
I think that it's very important for the off-road community to remember that many people also use the trails to hike, horseback ride, etc. Wanton destruction of land for a few cheap "thrills" will not only anger the radical environmentalists who want to keep everyone out, but gives the sport a bad name.
You might be interested in the article I wrote about "What not to do when Off-Roading in the Pine Barrens", with photo courtesy of Bob M. I posted this.
It also has a thread on JeepsUnlimited.com where I tried to educate some of the off-road community of the virtues of respecting the land.
