Sponsored by the Colorado Off Highway Vehicle Coalition (COHVCO) with

toward designated OHV routes. Enthusiasts and Local Land Managers can
sit down one on one and discuss local issues, learn the status of Travel
Management Planning in that area and develop the needed contacts to be
involved with the implementation of designated motorized routes in that
area. This collaborative effort will help to build camaraderie and a
sense of understanding among agencies and different user groups in a
relaxed, educational forum. With the ongoing USFS Regional
Implementation of the National OHV Rule and the new direction of BLM
Resource Management Plans That are also going to designated routes, a
majority of this workshop will be focused on empowering volunteers to be
organized in their efforts and be provided with the proper tools and
information for creating volunteer opportunities in land stewardship.
