How You Can Keep Your Trails Open |
JOIN-PARTICIPATE-DONATE
All off-highway vehicle users should be aware of the many
threats against our rights and privileges to ride on public
lands. Perhaps you are wondering what YOU can do to help protect
your rights? It boils down to three simple things that WE must
all do if we are to protect our access to public lands.
#1. JOIN:
Join a local club and get involved with issues in your “own
backyard”.
Join state level organizations such as CORVA
www.corva.org
Join national level organizations such as Blue Ribbon Coalition, U4WDA and AMA.
#2. PARTICIPATE:
Now that you are a member it is not good enough to just be a
number.
Volunteer your time and enthusiasm to the groups that you have
joined.
Introduce yourself to the local land managers at the BLM and
Forest Service. Ask to be added to their mailing list and stay
informed as to what decisions are being made that you can help
influence. Show them that you care and that you are willing to
help them make wise-use decisions.
#3. DONATE:
Now that you are an ACTIVE member of clubs and organizations
it is up to YOU to help fund the fight. You already have
thousands of dollars invested in machines, equipment, apparel
and accessories, so it’s time to invest some money into the most
important part of the whole equation..... ROADS, TRAILS AND LAND
to ride on. Without funding from individuals and clubs the
organizations can not fight this expensive battle. So each one
of us must budget as much as possible to fund the battle. How
much is it worth to you to insure that your children will be
able to access the public lands?
