There are several clubs that have been formed solely for the purpose of promoting ATV riding. If you are interested in getting involved with promoting ATV riding, it is simple to find out where the nearest organization is to you. The Pennsylvania Off-Highway Vehicle Association is an association for ATV riders, and has information online at www.paohv.org.
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) has a resource of their own. They have collected money from fees and fines, and with this money they are able to award grants to organizations, both profit and nonprofit, in order to benefit ATV riding trails on lands which are unowned by the country, but that are privately owned. These grants are able to be used for the purpose of buying land for ATV riding, as well as for developing the plans, having the area surveyed, in creating the trails for ATV riding as well as making ATV parks. with a grant from DCNR, equipment can be bought, and ATV riding training could be implemented. For those seeking an ATV grant from DCNR, you can typically apply for grants between the months of August and October each year. for further information regarding applying for an ATV grant from DCNR, you can call (717)-783-2661.
if your preferred way of getting involved with ATV riding is to volunteer, DCNR promotes a capacious volunteer program which allows volunteers to improve state Parks and state forests in Pennsylvania. This volunteer work can encompass anything from trail maintenance to tree planting. For any avid ATV rider whose goal is to give back to the land, DCNR is your opportunity. Your local state park or state forest district will have more information.
