Virginia 4-Wheel Drive Association uses a portion of your dues to keep a Trail Improvement Fund for the express purpose of paying costs associated with maintaining and improving your trails.
Folks, through meeting with U.S. Forest Service Rangers and driving many trails, I have collected a few small projects suitable for Clubs to tackle with a day's work to make improvements. Please contact me if you want to know if there is a project near you. Some of the projects so far include repairing fences, placing signs and markers.
This fund is also authorized to reimburse YOUR CLUB for any expenses you incur for trail improvements. Please ask me how to tap this money, but it basically means requesting reimbursement IN ADVANCE to the VA4WDA Board, and then documenting your work to unlock the reimbursement.
Thanks!
