Tread Lightly! AZ Trail Clean Up in the Sonoran Desert Nat’l Monument (4/25/15)

Last month we partnered with Tread Lightly! on a project to clean up Table Mesa Recreation Area where 250 volunteers showed up, in the rain,
to pick up trash. Together we removed more than 10 tons of trash from the area! Click HERE to see more about our day cleaning up Table Mesa.

Tread Lightly! is back at it and is hosting another trail clean up day on Saturday, April 25th, 2015 in the Southwest Valley. This is another step
toward keeping our Arizona off-road recreation access open. Please share this info with your family and friends. The more people that help, the
more that can be done. See the information below for more details.

Places to Ride

Ontario ATVers Beware

Here’s an incredibly disturbing letter from the Resource Management Supervisor of MNR Bracebridge Field Office sent to HATVA’s associate Lake of Bays ATV club (LOB). Basically, in Ms. Collins opinion there are no bush trails on any of the Crown lands that have been used and signed by the LOB club. If this letter reflects the Minister’s stance it spells the end of ATVing in Ontario. LOB was told all lumber roads, including overgrown ones, are considered Highways and ATV use is prohibited; if a trail appears on any map it is considered a road. LOB now has no trails.

If this insanity spreads there will be no where to ride in Northern Ontario and will shut down many of the southern Ontario clubs. For example, HATVA’s 1700 km of bush trails (with the exception of the Rail Trails and a few private properties) all fall on Crown land.

In April 2013 LOB received a letter from the MNR office allowing them to place trail signage, now the same office wants the signs removed. HATVA feels trail signage is necessary, not only to identify the route where you are travelling but also to identify position in the event of emergencies.

We can only hope the long awaited changes Highway Traffic Act will clarify exactly what is considered a highway. Until then I suppose it’s okay to weave through the trees on Crown land as long as you’re not leaving a trail behind you. In this matter, I suspect someone has made a decision far above their pay grade.
