DNR Trails Update invitation.pdf

Saturday 3-16-13 10am-1pm
Roscommon, MI - RAM Center
104 Conservation Dr
989-821-6200

Monday 3-18-13 1pm-4pm
Marquette, MI - NMU University Center (Great Lakes Rooms)
906-227-1000

All are invited to attend - however the first hour of each workshop will focus on issues specific to ORV Grant Sponsors, particularly maintenance issues, and may be a bit tedious for the general public.

The workshops are geared to increase communications between groups and provide clear, concise information on trail maintenance responsibilities.

The trails update session (after the first hour) will focus on overall ORV updates from the department (and legislators at the Marquette session).

As always, any questions should be directed towards the DNR trail technicians:

Thanks for the info Paul! Our club has a trail ride scheduled for that day, so we probably won't be able to make it out. With that said I will forward it around the club to see if anyone else is able to attend that does not go on the trail ride.

I couldn't make this either as I had safety classes to instruct on the 16th. Any updates we need to be aware of from anybody who was able to make it?

Thanks,
Bill

There really have not been any changes to trail maintenance for this year so the amount of time spent discussing this was short. I enjoyed the workshop as we got to meet and hear from a number of different reps from the DNR.
