REGION– Calling all off-road vehicle enthusiasts!
Here’s your opportunity to work alongside DNR staff to help maintain and protect the more than 4,000 miles of state-designated ORV riding routes and scramble areas.
The DNR is accepting applications for an opening on the Off-Road Vehicle Advisory Workgroup, which consists of seven people each serving four-year terms and contributing as volunteers (travel expenses to and from meetings are eligible for reimbursement). The group, which works closely with the Michigan Trails Advisory Council, meets quarterly at varying locations around the state.
“Michigan’s ORV Advisory Workgroup is dedicated to raising awareness about the use of public lands by ORV enthusiasts to respect, protect and enjoy,” said Jessica Holley-Roehrs, state motorized trails program specialist. “Each person on the committee is familiar with the importance of cooperation among different trail user groups and offers their perspective on the issues facing our volunteer organizations, helps shape policy and works with the DNR trails staff to ensure the future of ORV access to public land across Michigan.”
The ideal candidate is an individual who represents ORV communities.
“Members tell us that being part of this workgroup is a rewarding experience – it isn’t overly time-consuming and provides an opportunity for avid ORV riders to share their insight and connect with others who enjoy the sport and want to contribute to our state’s ORV opportunities,” Holley-Roehrs said.
With thousands of miles of state-designated ORV trails, scramble areas, (eligible) county, state forest and national forest roads, and frozen surfaces of public waters, Michigan is a top destination for ORV riders of all levels.
