American Trails is pleased to partner with the U.S. Forest Service in continuing the Legacy Trails Grant Program. This program is funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and supports partner trail projects that further the Legacy Roads and Trails Criteria on National Forest System trails throughout the nine Forest Service Regions. The goal of the program is to support projects that restore, protect, and maintain watersheds on our national forests and grasslands. American Trails is administering this grant program, and is soliciting applications for funding, with awards up to $100K per project. The application portal is now open!

The 2024 NOHVCC Annual Conference was a rousing success thanks largely in part to Polaris Industries and our other fantastic sponsors. This year’s conference was a unique experience as attendees were granted access to in and around Minneapolis, MN. While the conference was staged from the host hotel in Minneapolis, participants took shuttle buses to Polaris facilities on October 17-19, 2024. 

Thanks to generous funding from the Fox Factory Trail Trust Program NOHVCC was able to hold another successful Great Trails Workshop in the Colville National Forest on September 14-15, 2024. The workshop was focused on the Batey Bould ORV area near Cusick, WA. Batey Bould is home to approximately 35 miles of single-track trails open to multiple use including off-road motorcycles. The trail system features a connector trail to the Little Pend Orielle (LPO) Trail System for those wanting to make larger loops.
