Our Project
MUD harnesses the power of photographs and field data to alert citizens to the alarming rise in illegal and unauthorized routes.
MUD empowers volunteers to defend the natural world with a non-confrontational approach.
MUD bridges the gap between various user groups to foster a sense of shared responsibility and ownership of public lands.
MUD informs the local community of the true cost of unauthorized routes, and challenges key decision makers, the media, and the public to take action and affect lasting change.
MUD alerts local ranger districts of problem areas, teams of volunteers work with federal and state agencies, and private land owners on projects that prevent future impacts and restore habitat. To date, Project MUD has constructed and installed vehicle- and erosion-control barriers and replanted hillsides in heavily impacted areas. Thanks to MUD volunteers, these areas are now on the mend.
