BLM Releases WEMO Plan

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released their long-awaited West Mojave Plan (WEMO) which increases the number of routes that can be used by off-road-vehicles and places those routes in a way that invites trespass on private lands and public lands including Wilderness Areas, Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) and National Parks.
