The Massachusetts ATV Association, headquartered in Kingston, was founded as many clubs are; to promote safety and responsibility within the sport of riding 4-wheelers in order ensure it's future. The club adheres to the following goals:
* Strive to establish a good working relationship with the
state authorities who govern the use of public lands by
4-wheeler enthusiasts.
* To use the trails in an responsible and environmentally
sound manner, with the goal of expanding legal riding
areas.
* Work with authorities to resolve public safety issues.
* Promote the formation of 4-wheeler clubs in order to educate
riders about safety issues, and lend a positive image to
the sport.
* Work cooperatively with other clubs and organizations
toward a common goal of enhancing the 4-wheeler sport.
* Hold 4-wheeler riding events to advance the sport in a positive light.
The club has a unique opportunity before them; to have their own 4-wheeler trail system. A small section of the Georgetown-Rowley State Forest that has been used for 4-wheeler riding is now threatened with closure. The club is hoping to put together enough volunteers to do all the trail work that this area needs, the parks system would be willing to let them take it over and that would ensure this riding area stays open for 4-wheeler enthusiasts.
Now is the perfect time to join the Massachusetts ATV Association and lend a hand to keep this beautiful section of trails open to the public. If you think you would be interested in acquiring a new group of friends who share your love for off road adventuring, attention to keeping the environment healthy and safety in riding, you can contact the club through their website.
