- 2026-10-02 — Big Cypress National Preserve; Off-Road Motor Vehicles: NPS proposed rule (Nov 2025) would replace the outdated ORV map with one covering the preserve’s current boundary, making the ~147,000 acres added by the 1988 Addition eligible for motorized use unless the superintendent closes specific areas.
