TRAIL CLEANUPS HELP THE CAUSE

 

       Any Day Spent Cleaning Up a Trail or Riding Area 

is a Good Day!

 One of the easiest activities for a club or group of off-roaders is to pick a trail or riding area and conduct a cleanup.  Gather trash bags, pick-up tools/tongs, gloves, and hand sanitizer/cleaner and go for it.

If necessary, organize into small teams with 2 to 3 rigs each. Assign areas to each team. Make sure you have receptacles or trash bins at the rendezvous location. If you can, find a few "rewards" to give the teams with the most trash collected. Make it fun.

Keeping our trails open starts with keeping them clean- even if it's not our trash!

TRAIL-GEAR CLEANS UP DESERT

MOON ROCKS, NV GETS A TRAIL-GEAR CLEANUP

On their Moon Rocks, NV Customer Appreciation Run this past weekend, the Trail-Gear folks loaded up the participants and did a huge cleanup as part of their event.  They picked up like 36 bags of trash, including an old couch dumped off by some thoughtless person, certainly NOT a four-wheeler/off-roader.    Trail-Gear is dedicated to helping keep public lands open to the public, while making some awesome off-road products.

During the run, they spotted a backcountry fire and helped guide in Nevada fire crews to make sure it didn't get to be a big conflagration.  GOOD WORK, Trail-Gear.  You all are heroes.

It's important that all of us respect our public lands and help folks like the BLM keep them clean and open. Thank you, Trail-Gear and all your customers.   And thanks to all the hard-working government folks who help us manage our public lands -- for us.
