2024-03-01 10:00 - 2024-03-02 20:00 | Mountain America Expo Center, 9575 State St, Sandy, Utah, 84070
The Salt Lake Off-Road & Outdoor Expo is more than just the largest exhibition of the latest in everything you need to equip your outdoor living lifestyle, it is an awesome source of information on recreating in Utah and surrounding states, and helping you stay informed about what you can do to keep our public lands accessible.

Writing Effective Comments to Keep Our Trails Open Training
2024-02-29 | Mountain America Expo Center, 9575 State St, Sandy, Utah, 84070
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) plays a pivotal role by requiring federal agencies to assess the impact of their proposed actions. One crucial aspect of the NEPA process is the public comment period, during which concerned individuals and organizations can provide feedback on proposed projects. Writing effective comments is a critical step in preserving access for all users to our public lands. UPLA together with BlueRibbon Coalition and Salt Lake Offroad Expo (SLOREX) are partnering to bring you a training seminar on how to write effective comments in NEPA actions.
Understanding NEPA and Public Participation: NEPA, enacted in 1970, aims to integrate environmental considerations into federal decision-making processes. It mandates that federal agencies assess the environmental impact of proposed projects and involve the public in the decision-making process. Public participation is a cornerstone of NEPA, as it recognizes the diverse perspectives and expertise that the public can bring to the table.
The Importance of Effective Comments: Effective comments play a vital role in influencing the outcome of NEPA actions. Agencies are required to consider and respond to substantive comments during the decision-making process, making it crucial for comments to be well-reasoned, fact-based, and relevant to the environmental analysis. Well-crafted comments can highlight potential environmental concerns, propose alternatives, and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the project’s impact.
Challenges in Comment Writing: Despite the importance of public participation, many individuals and organizations face challenges in writing effective comments for NEPA actions. Common issues include a lack of understanding of the NEPA process, technical complexities in project documentation, and difficulties in navigating regulatory language. As a result, comments may not effectively convey concerns, suggestions, or alternative solutions.
The Solution: UPLA, BlueRibbon, and SLOREX will be offering free training at the Mountain America Expo Center on February 29, the day before SLOREX opens. The session will be recorded and professionally edited as a valuable online resource we can use in the future.
Save the Date for now and Watch for more information about attending the session.

2023-09-16 08:00 - 17:00
Join us for an evening of food, fun, and prizes. We will be giving away a CanAm 570 OHV, multiple firearms, and many other great prizes. A delicious meal will be catered by The Main Event. We expect this year’s even to be better than ever. As always, all proceeds from this event go directly to benefit the Paiute Trail System.
The Paiute Trail Committee is a group of volunteers comprised of OHV enthusiasts and members from the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, Utah State Department of Natural Resources, and State Department of Parks and Recreation who work to maintain, preserve and improve our trail system. You may have eaten at one of the many picnic tables we put up around the mountains or used a map at one of the trailhead kiosks we helped build. We supply helmets to law enforcement personnel to give out free of charge to kids who need one and would otherwise be without. We also work with our various land management partners to maintain the trails, keep the current trail structure in place, and add new trails we feel will improve the system.
We gladly volunteer our time to keep the trail system we love up and going. The Friends of the Paiute Trail Banquet is an excellent way for all of us to share in that effort. Please join us for this very fun evening!
