ExtremeTerrain’s Clean Trail Grant Program
Everyone in SFWDA should know about a recent program launched at Extreme
Terrain which strives to give back to the off-road/OHV community. They contacted us to share and promote this among our association members. The "Clean
Trail Grant Program" will provide a $350 grant and trash bags to eligible
clubs/organizations to be used towards a trail improvement or a cleanup
project. Most of us in SFWDA clubs are already meeting the requirements and this grant money could be used for a variety of things like a new group chainsaw, a big ole' lunch spread lunch on the trail for volunteers, or whatever else would help to facilitate a successful trail conservation or cleanup project.

Requirements

All I can say is, "It's About Time"
If you're like most from the South, winter time can be a hoot. Snow wheeling, snow men, snow cream and snow. Just snow... can be had. However, at some point most of us realize that maybe a change of pace would be nice....
