Gunnison Outdoor Resources Protection Act of 2024

This bill designates multiple protected areas across Gunnison County, Colorado, including Special Management Areas, Wildlife Conservation Areas, Protection Areas, Recreation Management Areas, and additional wilderness areas. It establishes specific management rules for each area type, including restrictions on off-highway vehicle use, requirements for collaborative development of projects, and provisions for decommissioning roads. The bill also includes a provision to place approximately 19,080 acres of land into trust for the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. These designations and management rules apply to Federal lands managed by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, with the goal of conserving natural resources while balancing recreational use and scientific research.
