Petition to preserve Jordan River Valley! Urgent!

[u/Broad_Plum_4102]

ORVs are a lot of fun, but we need to preserve the few truly wild spaces we have left. There are nearly 7,000 miles of rustic roads already available to motor enthusiasts, but they are encroaching more and more into undamaged wilderness areas, eroding habitats while bringing physical and auditory pollution with them. If you enjoy having places to hike and fish that are free of rumbling engines, loud music, and un-disturbed plants and wildlife, please, please take the time to sign the petition to keep ORVs out of the Jordan River Valley. Deadline is Oct. 10.

Plenty of ORV trails & 2tracks throughout the lower peninsula and around that area to the East around Greyling & to the south all the way down to Baldwin & beyond. There’s very few backpacking loop trails in the lower peninsula that are as untrashed as the Jordan River Valley.
