Thanks to the tireless efforts of the American Sand Association (aSa) and numerous volunteers, 40,000 acres of currently closed dunes will be reopened for OHV recreation. The aSa is working on a volunteer effort, in conjunction with the BLM, to start the process of removing the closure stakes in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area. More specifically, the small central closure near Gecko Campground and the 160 acres in Buttercup. The Buttercup project will also call for assistance with the reinstallation of the critical habitat closure near the US/Mexico border.
