One of the best things about NOHVCC is their Education and Materials sections.
EDUCATION: Here there is information on upcoming and past Workshops, Webinar’s, Video Podcasts, helpful information on Youth education and rider training, helmet safety programs, and even how to get a degree in OHV recreation management. In 2017, NWTRA Members attended a seminar done in partnership with NOHVCC, Oregon Parks and Rec, and the Forest Service in LaGrande. This was the Great Trails Workshop, which is based on the terrific Great Trails manual.
MATERIALS: Includes OHV planning guides, youth education guides, club startup kits, instructional trail mapping dvd (free), and past Newsletters which cover OHV issues and progress monthly.
