A two-day OHV Management Workshop presented by the Municipality of Highlands East will take place on May 14-15, with a Field Workshop being held on May 16. This will be an educational forum about off-highway vehicle recreation management for land management decision makers, recreation planners, resource specialists, and leadership representatives from OHV recreation and other stakeholder communities.

“The Municipality of Highlands East is hosting an ‘area workshop’ of the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) in May to help Ontario land agencies, local governments and stakeholders better understand the best practices for managing Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) trails and trail networks,” said Ken Hoeverman of Sustainable Trails, who is allowing the municipality to use some of their resources to promote the workshop. “Our thoughts are to build on the successful models in the USA by calling in some of our southern experts to facilitate this workshop, citing the methodologies and technologies employed to encourage a successful motorized trail network. The focus will be on trails sustainability and their importance for economic tourism.”
 
The Workshop Indoor Sessions will be held in Gooderham, Ontario at the Robert McCausland  Memorial Centre from May 14th to the 16th. The Thursday morning field workshop will be on nearby Greens Mountain, and ATVs and ROHVs will be available to transport attendees. On Thursday afternoon, Sustainable Trails will be demonstrating mechanized sustainable trail work at another location nearby.
 
The cost is $200 for the two days and includes all meals and breaks. A list of local accommodations is available for those that need a play to stay.
