Re: MD DNR ORV impact meeting
Maybe we can get the ATVs kicked out instead. That would cut down on 90% of the non-plated ORV traffic.Wingfixer wrote:Ill be working but please let me know what they discuss. It would suck if they are trying to kick us out of the ORV.

it says where and how we can help - lets go in positive and show we want to help keep the ORV. I've already proposed to Ranger Beal that we would apply for Yamaha Trail Grants and any others that may be available.

Re: MD DNR ORV impact meeting
A note that stood out to me was in the proposed 2011 Maintenance Projects...A concern that never really crossed my mind, but is still an "impact" to be considered from the heavy use of the ORV.Kyler wrote:read this guys

"Install 2 vault toilets at Mertens/East Valley Intersection and Bonds Landing to replace porta-pot
rentals pending approval of associated Rec. Trail Grant." "The environmental benefits of this project include replacing three portable chemical toilets with permanent non
chemical vault toilets and decrease of human waste deposited in the public lands due to lack of suitable
sanitation facilities. Furthermore, these vault toilet units are virtually indestructible which promotes
environmental sustainability."
Keep an open mind guys, and don't get fired up before we hear the facts....It might not be as bad as we're all thinking.
Re: MD DNR ORV impact meeting
I think this is a fantastic idea. Why don't we get a small parcel of land and have everyone in the entire state who wants to go for a nature walk go to that one parcel of land and do their walking there? It would free up all of the current hiking trails for dirt bikes.biffer99 wrote:http://www.magicalliance.org/download/o ... orests.pdf

Re: MD DNR ORV impact meeting
Update: unfortunately Ranger Beal is out of the office until April 4th. I've asked the DNR Volunteer Coordinator if there is someone else I can speak with about volunteering. Maybe there will be someone at the meeting we can speak with.

Have you guys watched the video that's linked to this document? http://www.magicalliance.org/download/n ... l-2009.pdf
