Assemblyman Jones Releases Statement Supporting "Open

Riding" in Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area

Jennifer Bell (916) 319-2071

SANTEE, CA– Assemblyman Jones (R-Santee) issued the following statement after

sending a letter to the State Parks Department encouraging “open riding” in Ocotillo Wells

State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) in response to legal action filed by Public

Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) and the Desert Protective Council

(DPC):

“Many of my constituents enjoy recreating in the Ocotillo Wells SVRA, which is why this

lawsuit is very troubling. This area has been used for OHV recreation for over 50 years

and has always been designated as an open riding area, meaning that users in the park are

not required to stay on designated trails,” Jones said. “I strongly encourage the

Department to carefully and scientifically investigate the veracity of allegations with

respect to trail maintenance and environmental protection.”

The State Parks Department has since forwarded this matter to the California Attorney

General’s office where further action will be taken.

Assemblyman Brian Jones represents the 71

st Assembly District, which includes the

communities of eastern San Diego County, including Alpine, Borrego Springs, Casa de

Oro - Mount Helix, El Cajon, Lakeside, Ramona, Rancho San Diego, Santee and Spring

Valley; and southern Riverside County, including Anza, Aguanga, Idyllwild-Pine Cove,

Lake Riverside and Mountain Center.
