Hey Roksliders,
got this from onX yesterday. Very detailed report. Some of you are hoping they never solve this problem, I know, but it is alarming how much publicly-owned country can't be accessed without landowner permission. Link is below the executive summary:
In a report released this morning, it was found that 6.35 million acres of Western state lands are entirely landlocked by private lands.
onX, a Montana-based tech company, in collaboration with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership released an in-depth study highlighting the accessibility of Western state lands. While many of America’s public outdoor recreation opportunities are found on national forests, national wildlife refuges, or BLM lands, the 2019 report focuses on lands managed by individual states.
Here is the executive summary:
There’s an interesting story here about how technology is revolutionizing how we use public lands. Modern mapping technologies are making it easier for sportsmen and women to identify areas of isolated or unmarked public lands. Nonetheless, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that many of the Western state lands are landlocked with no permanent public legal access. The report also reveals pockets of land in our country that remain untouched and pristine.
