As you all know, the Pipeline 4x4 Recreational Corridor is the only public land open to both OHM & 4WD recreationists in the Badger State.  Is this a sin? YES!!!

WOHVA has a great relationship with the USFS.  A WOHVA member serves on the Recreational Resource Advisory Committee for the USFS, Region 9.  Our relationship with the USFS (and especially the supervisor and staff of the Chequamegon/Nicolet National Forest) is the envy of many OHV organizations!  This is not always an easy task.  WOHVA volunteers meet with the USFS numerous times each year.  WOHVA has worked closely with the USFS to not only keep the Pipeline open, but also to work out a plan that will assure that it remains open.

Part of our on-going relationship is an agreement between WOHVA and the USFS to have all WOHVA events on the Pipeline presented to and then approved by the USFS prior to them occurring.  Partners/friends do that!  WOHVA appreciates and respects our partnership with the USFS and will continue to work with our friends there to assure that the Pipeline remains an OHV recreational area for all to enjoy.  This includes both WOHVA members and others!

WOHVA was asked by out-going District Ranger, Larry Sandoval to encourage our members not to participate in the usual stupidity that occurs on the Pipeline during the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend.  As you all know, Larry has moved on and the current position of District Ranger for the Southern District of the Nicolet National Forest in now vacant.  Jeff Seefeldt will be assuming that role in May.  WOHVA would like to honor Larry's request by strongly discouraging our members to recreate on the Pipeline over the holiday weekend.  The strongest message we can send to incoming District Ranger Seefeldt (showing our commitment to the USFS & the Pipeline) is by finding an alternative venue for that weekend.

On that note, WOHVA would like to encourage all those whom support the WOHVA Mission and TreadLightly! principles to join us on the Mole Lake Reservation for several days of pro-active trail development.  Be part of the solution and avoid being part of the problem!  Come build trails with us in Mole Lake!!!
