Hummer to Help Fund OHV Projects
Hummer to help fund OHV projects
Called Hummers Recreation Rescue, this partnership will provide grants to outdoor recreation sites. The grants will be dedicated towards land use education, management and trail maintenance.
This partnership comes at a critical time, especially for recreation activities involving the use of off-highway vehicles, says Tread Lightly executive director Lori McCullough. These grants will help land management agencies implement their new travel management policies in a way that helps both recreationists and the great outdoors.
At a time when public participation in outdoor recreation is at a decline, organizations like Tread Lightly are extremely important in ensuring that open access to public land remains available for future generations, says Hummer general manager Martin Walsh.
Hummers Recreation Rescue falls under the umbrella of Tread Lightlys Restoration for Recreation program, which was designed to keep the outdoor recreation areas open to the public by providing resources for trail maintenance, education and communication initiatives to allow for environmentally sustainable outdoor recreation.
The Bald Mountain off-highway vehicle trail in the Sierra National Forest will be home to the first project of the initiative.
