QWR has long believed that partnerships and collaborative
efforts are key elements in any 21st Century OHV recreation program. Those
joint efforts in support of sustainable OHV recreation continue to be the
backbone of successful OHV programs in Region 5 and throughout the West.
While OHV management certainly has its challenges, QWR
believes it is important for agencies and partners to highlight success stories
where new trail opportunities are being created and/or trails are being
reopened after mitigation measures are completed that address important
resource concerns.

As this report illustrates, various non-federal OHV grant
programs (e.g. state, industry, etc.) can
help support the efforts of federal land agencies manage high-quality and
environmentally sound OHV recreational opportunities.

The document also notes the California State Park’s OHMVR
Division has a grant program that supports their management efforts on the
Forest and also shows that OHV recreation on public lands has evolved into a
highly complex and diverse, partnership-based “a rising tide lifts all trails”
concept.
QWR closes by stating that maybe the single most
important factor in modern OHV recreation is the use of diverse partnerships as
a synergistic force multiplier when it comes to the management of motorized use
on designated roads, trails, and riding areas.
