Grant helps Hungry Horse motocross track
Hungry Horse News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 13 years, 4 months AGO
The Flathead Dirt Riders Association recently received an OHV Access Initiative $4,000 grant from Yamaha as a part of an ongoing effort to encourage safe, responsible riding and sustainable, open riding areas in northwest Montana.
The money will be used for maintenance work and the addition of a children's riding area at the Hungry Horse OHV Recreation Area.
The group has been working in conjunction with the Forest Service to complete some badly needed maintenance at this heavily used OHV riding area.
The money will be used for general grooming of the motocross track, adding culverts to prevent erosion and transforming an adjacent flat area into a track for smaller children and novice riders.
"This money will go a long way in repairing and maintaining this unique, popular riding area on public lands," said Jeff Wentzel, president of Flathead Dirt Riders Association.
