Date: 06/06/2008 BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
Attention Colorado Recreationists!
Just got an email from Corey Corbett over at the Colorado Off Highway Vehicle Coalition (COHVCO) asking me to let everyone know about their 8th Annual OHV Management Workshop. Brian says "that after attending last years workshop, the guys over at COHVCO are still a goofy looking (just kidding), and they still run the best workshops in the nation." He hopes to see you there.
I have pasted in a copy of the notice below; please take a couple of minutes to read over the information.
Thanks in advance for your involvement,
Ric Foster
Public Lands Department Manager

8th Annual OHV Management Workshop:
"A Tactical Approach to Now and the Future"
July 10-13, 2008
in Salida, Colorado
This Special Weekend Workshop is FREE For Enthusiasts with FREE Lodging for qualified club reps.
Sponsored by the Colorado Off Highway Vehicle Coalition (COHVCO)
with assistance from: NOHVCC, MIC, BRC, US Forest Service, BLM and Colorado State Parks
This year's workshop will take a more tactical, "on the ground" approach with an emphasis on sustainability of existing designated trail systems and building toward future growth of; "Life After The First MVUM". A combined audience of Land Management Agency personnel and Volunteer User Organizations and Recreational Enthusiasts can sit down one on one in a relaxed, educational forum and discuss local issues, and develop the needed contacts to interact closely on the status and implementation of Designated OHV Routes by Travel Management Planning in that area.
Included will be educational discussions of OHV Management Techniques, Volunteer Stewardship, issues and general principles of enhanced social and environmental monitoring, maintenance and management of sustainable motorized trails. This will be coupled with the need to address easily understood companion maps and effective signage
This collaborative effort will help to build camaraderie and a sense of understanding among agencies and different user groups.
