IRS990/Desc0CITIZENS FOR BALANCED USE (CBU) IS CELEBRATING OUR 18TH YEAR IN 2022 OF PRESERVING ACCESS FOR MULTIPLE USE ON OUR FEDERALLY MANAGED PUBLIC LANDS. WE APPRECIATE ALL THE SUPPORT WE RECEIVE FROM THE THOUSANDS OF OUR MEMBERS AND THEIR HELP, BOTH FINANCIALLY AND THROUGH ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR FEDERAL LAND MANAGERS. 2022 WAS A CHALLENGE WITH COVID AND THE MANY MEETINGS BEING HELD VIRTUALLY RATHER THAN FACE TO FACE. OUR MEMBERS ARE DIVERSE IN THEIR PHYSICAL ABILITIES AND AGENCIES NEED TO MEET FACE TO FACE TO SEE THE PASSION OF ACCESS THEY SHOW. VIRTUAL MEETINGS PREVENT OUR FEDERAL LAND MANAGERS FROM GETTING TO KNOW THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE AND REALLY MEET THE NEEDS OF THE MAJORITY OF THE PUBLIC.IN JANUARY THE CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST WAS SCHEDULED TO RELEASE THEIR NEW FOREST PLAN. CBU OBJECTED TO THIS PLAN AS IT WAS PROPOSED TO REMOVE ALL MOTORIZED AND MECHANIZED USE IN AREAS THE FOREST SERVICE DESIGNATED AS RECOMMENDED WILDERNESS AREAS. (RWAS) CBU PARTICIPATED IN THE OBJECTION HEARING WHICH OUR OBJECTION FELL ON DEAF EARS. WHILE THE FOREST SERVICE CLAIMED THEIR ACTION DID NOT FORMALLY DESIGNATE WILDERNESS, AN ACTION LEFT ONLY TO THE U.S. CONGRESS, IT DID TREAT THESE AREAS AS A FORMALLY DESIGNATED WILDERNESS. THE PLAN WOULD REMOVE THE HISTORIC AND CURRENT USE OF THESE AREAS BY MOTORIZED AND MECHANIZED USE WITHIN 2 YEARS OF ADOPTION OF THE PLAN. THE CREATION OF DEFACTO WILDERNESS BY THE CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST IS COMMON THROUGHOUT REGION 1. THE DECISION ON THE NEW CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST WAS SIGNED ON JANUARY 28, 2022. THE ONLY OPTION FOR CBU TO CHALLENGE THIS ACTION WAS THROUGH LITIGATION. PAST LITIGATION THROUGH THE LIBERAL COURTS, WHO GIVE DEFERENCE TO THE AGENCY, HAVE PROVED FRUITLESS AND EXPENSIVE. IT WAS THE CBU BOARD'S DECISION TO REFRAIN FROM LITIGATION IN THIS MATTER.CBU IS CURRENTLY A MEMBER OF 2 COLLABORATIVE GROUPS. CBU IS A MEMBER OF THE CUSTER GALLATIN WORKING GROUP (CGWG) WHICH WAS FORMED BY 9 COUNTIES AFFECTED BY THE ACTIONS AND PROJECTS OF THE CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST. THE CGWG PROVIDED SOME COMMENTS DURING THE FOREST PLAN REVISION ON GRAZING AND FOREST HEALTH BUT REFRAINED FROM COMMENTING ON ACCESS FOR RECREATION. 3 MEMBERS OF THE CGWG REPRESENTING ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS WENT OUTSIDE THE CGWG AND FORMULATED THEIR OWN ANTI ACCESS PLAN TO PRESENT TO THE CUSTER GALLATIN FOREST SUPERVISOR. CLAIMING THEIR PLAN WAS A COLLABORATIVE OF MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS, IT WAS IN FACT A PLAN WRITTEN BY WILDERNESS ADVOCATES. THE SUPERVISOR OF THE CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST ADOPTED THEIR PLAN OF CREATING MORE AREAS OF RECOMMENDED WILDERNESS AND WITH THE REGION 1 POLICY OF REMOVING BOTH MOTORIZED AND MECHANIZED USE IN THESE AREAS, THE MAJORITY OF RECREATIONAL USERS IN THE CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST LOST MORE RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES.THIS ACTION OF REMOVING BOTH MOTORIZED AND MECHANIZED USE OF OUR FEDERALLY MANAGED PUBLIC LAND HAS BECOME THE NORM IN MUCH OF THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. CBU IS CONTACTED WEEKLY BY INDIVIDUALS IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES SEEKING ASSISTANCE IN DEALING WITH PROPOSED CLOSURES BY THE BLM AND FOREST SERVICE IN THEIR AREA. CBU PROVIDES THEM WITH THE BEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE SCIENCE AND REGULATIONS OF NEPA. WE HELP PEOPLE FORM LOCAL CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS AND EDUCATE THEM ON THE 2012 PLANNING RULE AND HOW TO ENGAGE WITH THEIR FEDERAL LAND MANAGERS. CBU ALSO IS A MEMBER OF THE BIG ELK DIVIDE RESTORATION COMMITTEE. (BEDRC) THIS COLLABORATIVE WORKS WITH THE FOREST SERVICE ON ACTIONS AND PROJECTS IN THE LEWIS AND CLARK NATIONAL FOREST. (LCNF) THE BEDRC MEETS MONTHLY TO RECEIVE UPDATES AND PROVIDE COMMENTS ON SPECIFIC PROJECTS PROPOSED IN THE LCNF. THE LCNF HAS SEVERAL FUEL REDUCTION PROJECTS UNDERWAY AND PROPOSED WHICH ARE REVIEWED BY THE BEDRC. CBU PROVIDES COMMENTS ON INCREASING RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR MULTIPLE USE. THE FOREST SERVICE HAS BEEN SLOW TO REACT TO THE INCREASED NEED FOR CAMPGROUNDS AND TRAILS OPEN TO MULTIPLE USE. WE CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR ADDITIONAL FACILITI

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0IN MARCH WE ALSO MET WITH REPRESENTATIVE ROSENDALE TO DISCUSS THE SAME ISSUES ABOUT THE FEDERAL LAND MANAGERS CLOSING ACCESS TO OUR PUBLIC LAND. MONTANA IS NEARLY 40% FEDERALLY MANAGED PUBLIC LANDS. COUNTIES WITH FEDERALLY MANAGED PUBLIC LAND RECEIVE NO PROPERTY TAX FOR THESE LANDS BUT RELY ON "PAYMENTS IN LEU OF TAXES OR PILT. PILT FUNDS ARE A MERE PITTANCE OF WHAT PROPERTY TAXES WOULD COLLECT ON THESE PRODUCTIVE LANDS AND COUNTIES RELY SOLELY ON PROPERTY TAXES TO FUND THE SERVICES COUNTIES PROVIDE TO THEIR RESIDENTS INCLUDING FUNDING OF SCHOOLS. PROPER MANAGEMENT OF THESE LANDS ARE CRITICAL FOR THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE CITIZENS. THE LACK OF PROPER MANAGEMENT OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS HAS INCREASED THE SEVERITY OF FIRES, PUT BUSINESSES AND PROPERTY AT RISK, AND COST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FIRE SUPPRESSION COST. CBU PROMOTES ACTIVE FOREST MANAGEMENT AND TRIES TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE BENEFITS OF ACTIVE FOREST MANAGEMENT.CBU ATTENDED OUR MONTHLY MARCH CGWG AND BEDRC COLLABORATIVE MEETINGS. WE EXPRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF INCREASING ACCESS TO THESE PUBLIC LANDS AND OFFERED SUGGESTIONS ON HOW THE PROPOSED PROJECTS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES WHILE IMPROVING FOREST HEALTH. WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE DURING THE CGWG ON THE BRIDGER INFRASTRUCTURE SUB-COMMITTEE PROJECT. CBU SECURED 9 TRAIL COUNTERS FROM THE GALLATIN VALLEY SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION TO ASSIST HEADWATERS ECONOMICS IN THEIR TRAIL SURVEY PROJECT.CBU RECEIVED AN APPOINTMENT TO A POSITION ON THE OHV COMMITTEE BY GOVERNOR GIANFORTE. THIS COMMITTEE REVIEWS GRANT PROPOSALS FOR THE TRAIL STEWARDSHIP GRANT PROGRAM ADMINISTERED THROUGH MONTANA FISH WILDLIFE PARKS AND RECREATION. THIS COMMITTEE MEETS TWICE EACH YEAR TO REVIEW AND RECOMMEND FUNDING FOR THE GRANT PROPOSALS. WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO SERVE ON THIS COMMITTEE. THE COMMITTEE MET IN APRIL TO REVIEW THE GRANT PROPOSALS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.CBU ALSO ATTENDED THE STATE TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (STAC) MEETING TO COMMENT ON THE GRANT PROPOSALS THIS COMMITTEE IS CHARGED WITH REVIEWING. CBU REMAINS ACTIVE IN THE STAC AS THESE GRANTS HELP MAINTAIN ACCESS TO AND ON OUR PUBLIC LANDS.CBU IS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE GALLATIN VALLEY SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION (GVSA) AND HAS A MEMBER OF CBU SERVING ON THE GVSA GROOMING COMMITTEE. SNOWMOBILING IN THE AREA BETWEEN BOZEMAN AND WEST YELLOWSTONE IS ONE OF THE MOST USED SNOWMOBILE AREAS IN MONTANA BRINGING IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF DIRECT SPENDING EVERY WINTER. SNOWMOBILING HAS THE LEAST IMPACT ON THE RESOURCE OVER ANY OTHER RECREATIONAL USE. CBU SUPPORTS GVSA AND MANY OTHER SNOWMOBILE CLUBS IN MONTANA AND ACROSS THE WEST. WE SUPPORT AVALANCHE TRAINING FOR BOTH MOTORIZED AND NON-MOTORIZED CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS. ONE OF THE PREMIER SNOWMOBILE TRAILS IN THIS AREA OF THE CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST IS THE BIG SKY SNOWMOBILE TRAIL. THIS TRAIL IS LISTED ON THE HISTORIC REGISTER AND STRETCHES FROM BOZEMAN TO WEST YELLOWSTONE. LISTED ON THE REGISTER IN THE MID-1980S AND ONCE HOSTED THE BIG SKY SNOWMOBILE RACE, THIS TRAIL TRAVERSES SOME OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR AREAS OF THIS FOREST. MOUNTAIN PEAKS, OPEN MEADOWS, AND DEEP POWDER PROVIDE ENJOYMENT FOR EVERYONE. CBU MEMBERS DONATE HOURS OF TIME EACH YEAR TO CLEAR AND MAINTAIN THIS HISTORIC TRAIL.AT THE END OF APRIL CBU MET WITH THE FOREST SERVICE TO PLAN OUR TRAIL AND WEED SPRAY PROJECT IN LITTLE BEAR. CBU RECEIVED A GRANT FOR TRAIL MAINTENANCE, SIGNAGE, AND WEED CONTROL MEASURES IN LITTLE BEAR. LITTLE BEAR IS SOUTH OF BOZEMAN AND PART OF THE CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST. THIS AREA IS A VERY POPULAR PLACE FOR MULTIPLE USE RECREATION WITH HUNDREDS OF MILES OF TRAIL OPEN TO ALL USES. ONCE HEAVILY LOGGED WITH MANY OLD ROADS THAT HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO TRAILS IT IS IMPORTANT TO HELP THE FOREST SERVICE MAINTAIN THIS AREA. CBU RECEIVED $75,000 FROM THE MOTORIZED TRAIL GRANT TO DO THIS 3-YEAR PROJECT. WE ARE SCHEDULED TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT IN 2024.MAY WAS A BUSY MONTH FOR CBU AS OUR ANNUAL
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0OUR GRANT FROM THE MOTORIZED TRAIL PASS FUNDS WERE USED FOR MATERIALS AND CBH CONTRACTED WITH A SPRAY COMPANY FOR WEED TREATMENT IN THE LITTLE BEAR AREA OVER A 3-YEAR PERIOD. MONTANA SPRAY BEGAN SPRAYING WEEDS IN THE AREA IN AUGUST. WE ALSO USED THE GRANT FUNDS TO HIRE BO TRAILS TO REPAIR DAMAGED TRAILS IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. WATER BARS WERE INSTALLED AND DRAINAGE DIPS WERE CREATED TO HELP REMOVE WATER FROM THE TRAIL TO KEEP THESE TRAILS IN BETTER CONDITION OVER TIME. CBU FILED THE REQUIRED REPORT WITH FWP INCLUDING PICTURES AND COSTS. MORE WEED TREATMENTS WILL BE COMPLETED IN 2023 AND 2024. THE FOREST SERVICE INSPECTED THE SIGN INSTALLATION, TRAIL MAINTENANCE, AND WEED TREATMENT AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED.CBU WAS CONTACTED IN SEPTEMBER ON A BRIDGE THAT WASHED OUT ON THE MCCARTY ROAD FROM BOULDER TO ELKHORN IN THE BEAVERHEAD DEERLODGE NATIONAL FOREST. WE INSPECTED THE DAMAGE TO THE BRIDGE OVER THE CREEK CROSSING AND MET WITH THE JEFFERSON COUNTY COMMISSION TO WORK WITH THEM TO REPAIR THE BRIDGE. WORK TO REPAIR THE BRIDGE CROSSING WAS COMPLETED LATER IN SEPTEMBER.CBU ATTENDED OUR SEPTEMBER MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH THE BEDRC, CGWG, AND TSRA. WE ALSO TOOK A REPRESENTATIVE FROM FWP TO INSPECT THE 5 BRIDGES WE COMPLETED IN NORTH MEADOW CREEK. CBU MEMBERS ALSO PROVIDED GVSA WITH HELP CLEARING TRAILS IN THE CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST ON TRAILS THEY GROOM DURING THE WINTER.CBU CONTINUES THEIR WORK ON THE BRIDGER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT, FINALIZING LOCATIONS AND SIGN DESIGN TO BE INSTALLED LATER. WE RECEIVED THE TRAIL SURVEY RESULTS FROM HEADWATERS ECONOMICS AT THE CGWG MEETING. IT WAS DISAPPOINTING THAT HEADWATERS ECONOMICS INFLATED THE TRAIL COUNT NUMBERS BY NOT UNDERSTANDING THEIR COUNTS INCLUDED INGRESS AND EGRESS USE WHICH DOUBLED THE VISITOR COUNTS. CBU BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF HEADWATERS ECONOMICS BUT THEY NEVER CORRECTED THIS ERROR. DOUBLING THE VISITOR COUNTS HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE VALIDITY OF THEIR SURVEY. CBU WILL CONTINUE TO EXPOSE FALSE REPORTING, SURVEY RESULTS, OR POLLING NUMBERS WHENEVER WE SEE PROBLEMS.ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF FAULTY POLLING DATA WE SAW IN 2022 WAS A POLL COMPLETED BY WILD MONTANA. THE POLL QUESTION ASKED WAS: "DO YOU SUPPORT A VISION FOR SOUTHWEST MONTANA THAT DESIGNATES NEW WILDERNESS, PROTECTS WATER QUALITY, AND HELPS KEEP WORKING LANDS AND FAMILY RANCHES INTACT?" THIS QUESTION WAS SUPPORTED BY OVER 70% OF THE RESPONDENTS. CLEARLY THE QUESTION IS MISLEADING AS WHO WOULD NOT BE IN FAVOR OF CLEAN WATER AND KEEPING WORKING RANCHES. BY COLLATING CLEAN WATER WITH WILDERNESS, THE PUBLIC ANSWERED THE QUESTION SUPPORTING THE AGENDA OF WILD MONTANA WHICH PROMOTES MORE WILDERNESS. ANOTHER POLL CONDUCTED BY 47 NORTH ASKED THE PUBLIC A MORE TARGETED AND FAIR QUESTION WHICH WAS: "KNOWING THAT WILDERNESS AREAS PROHIBIT BOTH MOTORIZED AND MECHANIZED USE, WOULD YOU SUPPORT CREATING MORE WILDERNESS AREAS IN MONTANA?" OVER 58% OF THE RESPONDENTS IN THIS POLL INDICATED THEY OPPOSED CREATION OF ADDITIONAL WILDERNESS IN MONTANA. CBU CONTINUES TO SEE POLLS FROM ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS THAT MISLEAD THE PUBLIC WITH QUESTIONS THAT COMPEL THE PUBLIC INTO ANSWERS THAT SUPPORT THEIR ANTI-ACCESS AGENDA. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DISCREDIT THESE RESULTS AS MEDIA OUTLETS FOCUS ON THE RESULTS RATHER THAN THE QUESTIONS. THE WILD MONTANA POLL WAS CONDUCTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA WHICH GAVE CREDITABILITY TO THE POLL BUT THE POLL QUESTIONS WERE FORMULATED BY WILD MONTANA AND NOT THE UNIVERSITY. THE 58% OPPOSED TO NEW WILDERNESS IN MONTANA COMPLETED BY 47 NORTH HAS CEDITABILITY SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE QUESTION ASKED BECAUSE THE QUESTION WAS SINGULAR IN FORM. NOT CONNECTED TO ADDITIONAL SUBJECT CAUSING CONFUSION TO THE PUBLIC. CBU URGES THE PUBLIC TO LOOK AT POLL QUESTIONS WHEN CONSIDERING POLL RESULTS.CBU HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN TRAVEL PLANNING IN EASTERN OREGON OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. WE HELPED FORM FOREST ACCESS FOR ALL (FAFA) BASED IN BAKER CITY OREGON DURING THE LAST ATTEMPT BY THE FOREST SERVICE TO CLOSE THIS FOREST TO OP
