The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) is pleased to announce the schedule of the fourth and final module of their Public Land Advocacy webinar series: Oct. 6, 14 and 22. This four-part series is designed to assist government agency personnel, OHV enthusiasts, and other interested parties with creating and maintaining sustainable OHV trails.

And best of all, due to funding provided by the Motorcycle Industry Council, the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America, and the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association as well as the Yamaha OHV Access Initiative Program, this webinar series is free to you.

The fourth module is entitled, Making It Work. This module ties all of the previous modules together and gives concrete examples of where the principles that have been given during the first 3 modules work. It also helps enthusiasts work with their land managers and helps move us forward towards sustainable OHV trail systems while working within the processes.

The other three modules are:

• The first module, Route Designation: How did we get here? will give enthusiasts a look at how the forest service designates routes, their structure, and their planning process.
• The second module, System Trail Planning – Part 1 covers the basic principles of trail management, called the 4Es, and will go into details regarding building trails of OHV recreation that are environmentally sound and sustainable
• The third module, System Trail Planning – Part 2 starts with a quick overview of STP part 1. It then covers the details of trail maintenance, monitoring, and signing in more depth.

The workshop modules were developed in cooperation with the American Motorcyclist Association, BlueRibbon Coalition, Motorcycle Industry Council, Off-Road Business Association, Specialty Vehicle Institute of America, and United Four Wheel Drive Associations.
