Adopt-A-Trail

The San Bernardino National Forest Association Adopt-A-Trail Volunteer program is critically important to the 4-Wheeling community. It allows us to interact directly with the U.S. Forest Service, giving a "face" to the 4-Wheeling community that might otherwise go unnoticed. Maintaining our presence in the forest ensures that we can continue to have access to the wonderful trails and scenery that we all enjoy so much.

Adopt-A-Trail gives us the opportunity to give back to the environment that which we enjoy so much, and allows us to help ensure that the forest is available to ALL people and all activities. It proves that we can responsibly enjoy our chosen sport without irreversibly damaging the surrounding environment.

Each trail is different, but this is a list of the typical maintenance that maybe required:

· Removing logs and brush that encroach on the trail

· Install, repair, and clean water bars or other drainage structures

· Provide protection for stream crossings, meadows, and wet areas

· Place rocks or logs on trail for better traction

· Maintain trail to the designated rating

· Remove traces of any use that occurs off the designated trail

· Remove litter and any foreign items from trail

· Install, maintain, and replace trail markers

· Install, maintain, and replace signs and bulletin boards as needed

The Inland Empire Four Wheelrs are proud to have adopted the following trails from within the SBNF:

Since 1998 our Membership has been dedicated to keeping these trails in optimum condition, in accordance with the Annual Maintenance Plan developed each year after the Spring Thaw.

We teach our Members and Guests about the need to cooperate with the National Forest, as an important piece in keeping the trails open for our use and the use of future generations.
