THE TOLL OF OFF-ROADING
Re “Kicking Up Sand,” [Jan. 10]:
The continued popularity of off-road vehicles (ORVs) such as side-by-sides poses crushing problems for land managers and natural areas across America. Not only do these machines cause damage to the soil, plants and wildlife, the racket of their engines carries for miles and ruins the outdoor experience for people who visit quietly.
