I’m posting this press release from the Americans for Responsible Recreational Access group.  I think that all trail users need to find ways to work together to solve some of the problems we are facing with trail access.  It is getting harder and harder to get permits and permission to use trails to put on endurance rides.  I’ll be posting more on this topic in the future.  Karen

NOHVCC is holding another round of Public Land Advocacy webinars during this winter season. The distribution of these Land Advocacy webinars has been made possible through a grant from the Yamaha OHV Access Initiative. The content of the webinars has been made possible through funding from the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), the Specialty Vehicle Institute of American (SVIA), and the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association (ROHVA).

These webinars compliment the highly popular Public Land Advocacy DVD series. The webinar series will help you understand and be effectively involved in OHV management and agency planning processes to help you promote and preserve OHV riding opportunities with topics such as, writing effective comments letters, working with land managers, the agency process for designating routes, etc. There will also be information for land managers such as who are the enthusiasts and how to provide trail systems riders want to stay on. They also include topics addressing why high quality OHV trail system are needed, the design elements and principles of OHV trail systems, trail maintenance, monitoring, and signing. And more. While you participate in the webinars, you will have the opportunity to ask questions of the presenter and to interact with other participants.

These webinars are full of interesting examples of how things work and how things fail. Plus we have time to cover some topics more in-depth that we are able to on the DVDs.

Don’t forget that these sessions qualify for Continuing Education Units. You must register for both the sessions as well as the CEUs to receive the credit. Registration for these sessions and CEUs can be done on our website. This is the last set of currently planned webinar sessions, so be sure to register for these sessions!
