Yamaha Awards
Grant to the National Off-Highway
Vehicle Conservation Council
The donation from Yamaha to
be used in the distribution of NOHVCC
workshop videos & webinars
Washington, D.C. (5/8/2009)
- The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation
Council has developed a series of videos and webinars
that capture much of the content of our lauded
Route Designation and Trail Sustainability workshops.
These videos and webinars are designed to help
the NOHVCC reach a wider audience of both OHV
activists and land managers interested in maintaining
responsible OHV access on public lands with the
important messages and information within the
workshops even while travel budgets are decreasing.
Yamaha OHV Logo as of July 2008Through the OHV
Access Initiative, Yamaha
Motor Corp., U.S.A. provides GRANTs to deserving
organizations to help further the program's goal
of Guaranteeing Responsible Access to our Nations
Trails.
"NOHVCC's informational assets will now
benefit more land use managers seeking to educate
themselves on creating responsible and safe opportunities
for OHV riding," said Steve Nessl, marketing
manager of the ATV and SxS operations for Yamaha
Motor Corp, USA. "Providing the funding that
makes these webinars and videos accessible online
is a foundational element of the Yamaha OHV Access
Initiative."
Russ Ehnes, Executive Director of NOHVCC, says,
"The NOHVCC is very pleased that Yamaha decided
our video project was a worthwhile project. During
this economic downturn, the ability of government
agency personnel, Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts,
and the NOHVCC staff to travel has decreased substantially.
Providing these videos on-line and as DVDs and
conducting interactive webinars, or seminars over
the web, will allow us to continue to deliver
these important messages. The videos and the webinars
are intended to help riders and managers understand
how to provide high quality, sustainable trails
that are fun and meet rider's needs. There are
several sessions that will help riders understand
agency processes and how to get involved effectively.
They also cover the latest techniques for managing
OHV recreation, working with land managers, and
much more. Without Yamaha's support, we would
not have been able to bring these great tools
to the OHV community this year. We really want
to thank them for their dedication to responsible
OHV recreation."
Kathy Van Kleeck, Senior Vice President of Government
Relations at the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC)
stated "The MIC along with the Specialty
Vehicle Institute of America and the Recreational
Off-Highway Vehicle Association were pleased provide
the funding to create the videos and webinar sessions
and now with the grant from Yamaha, NOHVCC will
be able to distribute these videos and webinars
without a charge to the recipients. We believe
this effort will go a long way toward protecting
OHV opportunities for years to come."
Additional information regarding the availability
and times of the videos will be announced as soon
as the details become available. You may also
