“Blueribbon's mission is to conserve public lands and keep trails open for recreation for all modes of travel. Brc is a non-profit advocacy organization which works with local and national governing bodies, the interior department, forest service and bureau of land management to influence public lands' recreational planning. In addition, we serve the public through our website, magazine, and public meetings - educating them on public land-use issues. We provide legal intercession when legal remedies are needed to keep public lands open. We are a watchdog group which scrutinizes agency planning activities, offering them options which will keep public lands open for recreation. We work with other conservation groups to protect the lands and waters that belong to the american people and collaboratively work with different user groups to create a sustainable environmental policy that protects public lands for recreation.”

“Brc actively and directly engages in those planning processes on behalf of its members. Within the legal confines of the irs 501(c)(3) regulations, brc lobbies on behalf of its members on legislative initiatives affecting recreational funding, recreational access, and other similar issues having an impact on access to public lands and waters.”
