I'm new to the forum/board, but have a lot of experience in trail cleanups and trail work. Let me know if I can help with your project/idea. I do land use full time, nationwide.

Hey Del - welcome to Overland Bound, and a big welcome to the Land Use - Leave It Better Than You Found It forum, too. You come highly recommended, of course, and we're pleased to have you aboard. We started this section of the forums in response to member requests, and am sure as things get rolling your experience and expertise will be invaluable.

As Overland Bound continues to grow it becomes more and more of a potential force in helping members and public to stay informed and alerted as to ways to become involved.

We appreciate your willingness to help out!

My initial impressions of Overland Bound is that you can be (already are) a major force in keeping our sport and exploration adrenaline alive and well. My personal message never waivers; if we all do our part, whatever that may be depending on our circumstances, we can keep overland alive.

Amen - "If we all do our part, whatever that may be depending on our circumstances, we can keep overland alive" is a great way to put it.

As I've written before, I believe it is important to not only be involved in responsible trail activities and organizations, but to lead by example for both new members and public. It is up to us, as members, to make this happen in good, positive, ways and to encourage the public to become more involved, too.

The Trail Guardian Trail Cleanup and creating Trail Guardian Rally Point program is intentionally open to both members and public.

Hi Del, welcome to the forum! It's good to have you hear, I hope you, combined with the collective resources Overland Bound can muster can continue to make a big impact in responsible land use.

I think this forum is a good place to inform all the members here when there is an opportunity to communicate with our state and local representatives about land use.
I'm not in that loop so much, so I hope others that are more informed can let everyone know where, who and HOW to write to the right people that make decisions about keeping our public lands open for generations to come.

The title of this post says it all. Need more people with that attitude. It's very important and we need more who are wanting to be part of the solution to a huge problem.

The people who don't care for our form of recreation have a saying: Think globally; act locally. Smart. We should do the same. Figure out WHO in your local area can use YOUR help; and just do it.
On the global scale, like what BlueRibbon Coalition/Sharetrails is doing for us in Washington DC or with the feds in meetings etc. is what keeps us on the roads. But for you, locally, figure out what part you can play.
A day of cleaning up some local trail that has been trashed. A day helping some local club even if you are not a member with a trail project. Every day helps.

One of my standing articles on land use is called: One for One Proposal. For every day on the trail, do ONE thing to save a trail -- meeting, letter, phone call, cleanup, whatever.

Thanks Del, I can commit to this "One for One" mentality.

Now I have to figure out who and how to write a letter...

Hey Del,

Long time no talk! How have you been? I think it has been about 3-4 years since we have hung out/talked. I am still in the Nor Cal area, specifically Grass Valley and am always here to help if you ever want me.

A helping hand is always appreciated. There sure does need to be more people like this. I will be in the Colorado area willing to offer any assistance with conducting trail cleanups and other trail maintenance duties.
