TYPES OF PROJECTS
Development: New trail construction, bridges, trail signs, restrooms, shower facilities (Siltcoos campground ODNRA) and many campgrounds and staging areas such as Browns Camp, Bull Run (ODNRA), and Mt. Baber were funded with ATV dollars. Law Enforcement: Ofcers are funded to help ensure that your riding trip is safe and enjoyable. Not only do they make sure that riders play by the rules, but they help deter illegal activities in OHV areas, such as theft, vandalism and drug activity. Most of the ofcers you see can provide you with up-to-date area information or a map. First Aid Services: ATV dollars help provide resources to assist in remote rescues. On the dunes, where ambulances cannot reach, special sand rails have been purchased to help retrieve patients. In other areas, funds are used for trail patrols during busy times. Acquisition: Land can be purchased or leased for ATV riding development. For example, 6200 acres was purchased in Morrow County in 2003. Already 100-plus miles of newly developed trails and a new camping/ staging area are available for visitors. Operation and Maintenance: Many riding areas need some kind of maintenance. Trails need to be cleared after winter storms. ATV dollars have paid for OHV trail maintenance including Tillamook State Forest and the Millican Valley. Some areas need trail dozers and excavators to remove whoops, reconstruct water bars, and groom trails, which makes the trail more fun to ride and helps protect the environment. Safety and Education: ATV funds help teach people to ride safely and properly. Grant dollars help pay for children under the age of 16 to receive motorcycle or ATV training at a reduced cost. The development of the safety training center in Tillamook is also an example of an ATV grant project.
