KEEPING TRAILS OPEN REQUIRES KEEPING EACH OTHER INFORMED Carry Handouts and Brochures to be a Good Trail Steward By Del Albright These links will give you a Recreation Code of Ethics from BlueRibbon Coalition/Sharetrails.Org; and a Membership Form.  Both handouts are a great way to be a trail steward. If you belong to and support a State or Regional Association, carry the same from them. Be NOT afraid to give someone a handout.  You do not need to get confrontational if their behavior is out of whack.  Just be polite, talk about saving trails and keeping our sports alive, and give them a handout or two to review. We must all work towards a positive future, united in our voices (UNITE).  Then at every chance we must INFORM other users if they appear uninformed.  And finally we must ACT TOGETHER if we expect to have a voice that will be heard from sea to sea. UNITE, INFORM and ACT TOGETHER. BRC/ST Membership Brochure:  http://bit...

SHINE SOME LIGHT ON JUST ONE THING AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE By Del Albright, Sharetrails Ambassador Shine a little light this week, if nothing else, on one person to help make a difference. One-For-One I've posted before, but it rings true right now more than ever. As we get ready for summer, when you get asked what "one person can do" or similar questions, here it is: DO ONE THING. THE one thing (borrowed from the movie City Slickers). Shine some light on ONE thing this week, even if just with one new person or one business yet to get in the game. Just do it. And make it matter. Some examples of what that one thing might be include: Clarify to the local feds what is going on with your club.   Find a trail to adopt.   Talk a business into supporting/donating.   Find a new recruit to land use.   Whatever...do that ONE thing that makes us stronger THIS WEEK. Here is a link to my article on the One for One Proposal giving more ideas ...

BUY FROM BUSINESSES ON THE LAND USE TEAM By Del Albright Land use means keeping our trails open and our sports alive. When you spend your OHV/off-pavement money, spend it with a business that SUPPORTS the SPORTS. Period.  Do the homework; check "under the hood" of their website. Get on your "creeper" and check around to see where they support the sport like with donations to raffles; joining organizations (that's some times a hard one as there are so many); making significant donations to land use organizations; and being part  of the team like those businesses represented in landuse groups on the social networks. We should not get mad at a business that does not belong to your organization or my organization or whatever; but if they are not supporting some event, some club, some organization at the best level they can afford, then they are not helping FIX land use. And if that is the case, and you cannot convince them otherwise, DO NOT BUY from th...
