The Forest Service has identified unmanaged motorized recreation as one of the top four threats to national forests. Federal land management agencies have only recently begun to respond to this trend by revising their plans and how they manage HV use but they face constrained budgetary and staff resources and other competing management priorities the report says. Most officials from the Forest Service Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service said HV-related environmental impacts occur on less than 20 percent of their lands although a few said such impacts occur on 80 percent or more of their lands the report says. The most widespread impacts were soil erosion damage to vegetation wildlife habitat fragmentation and the spread of invasive species. About 110 HV-related deaths occurred nationwide per year on public lands from fiscal 2004 through 2008 about 570 total according to data provided by field unit officials. The most often reported social and safety impacts were conflicts between HV and nonmotorized users displacement of nonmotorized users conflicts with private landowners and irresponsible HV operation.
