what is the value of untrammelled lands? lands impacted by OHV recreation. Lands used as habitat by rare wildlife on our planet?

There can be no $ value put on the worth of our natural lands and the wildlife that depend on it.

A house can be bought and sold. It has value and probably was insured in the cases you mention.

nature is priceless.

When you hike you leave a trail. Ride a horse ever?
By your statements above, NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWDED IN TO THE FOREST OR DESERTS CORRECT?

The destruction of these properties only hurt us (you included). ELF has burned hundreds of thousands of acres to stop logging trucks.
