Environmental Concerns
Off-road driving can provide wholesome and satisfying
recreation. However, it also raises environmental
concerns. We recognize these concerns and urge every
off-roader to follow these basic rules for protecting
the environment:
·Always use established trails, roads and areas that
have been specially set aside for public off-road
recreational driving; obey all posted regulations.
·Avoid any driving practice that could damage
the environment Ð shrubs, ¯owers, trees,
grasses Ð or disturb wildlife (this includes
wheel-spinning, breaking down trees or unnecessary
driving through streams or over soft ground.)
·Always carry a litter bag Ð make sure all refuse is
removed form any campsite before leaving.
·Take extreme care with open ®res (where permitted),
camp stoves and lanterns.
·Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other
combustible materials that could catch ®re form the
heat of the vehicle's exhaust system.
