Goal 5 Objectives<br />

Establish and maintain productive relationships between individuals,<br />

organizations, industry, and government agencies to cooperatively identify<br />

problems and develop and implement solutions to advance the Mission and<br />

Goals of the OHMVR Program.<br />

5.1 By 2013, improve communication and interaction among local, state<br />

and federal agencies having direct or indirect land management, law<br />

enforcement and/or regulatory responsibilities involving OHMVR<br />

Program activities and issues.<br />

•§<br />

The OHMVR Commission and Division collaborate with local, state, and federal<br />

agencies to develop content and tour locations for OHMVR Commission meetings,<br />

address issues that concern OHV access and<br />

recreation, and engage the public on issues that<br />

concern them. OHMVR Division environmental<br />

scientists have played a key role in the management<br />

of the FTHL at Ocotillo Wells SVRA. Environmental<br />

scientists have been sitting members of the FTHL<br />

Interagency Coordinating Committee for the last six<br />

years, and provide comments and peer review for committee publications, program<br />

design, and policy. OHMVR Division environmental scientists are experts in this field<br />

of study and publish management documents for the FTHL.<br />

•§<br />

Prairie City SVRA resources staff teamed up with the flat track concessionaire to<br />

start a new volunteer program at the park. Members of Big Time Speedway’s Youth<br />

Group volunteer corps collect, sort, and haul away recycling left by park guests. All<br />

proceeds received for the recycled materials go to fund the youth group’s motorcycle<br />

speedway activities. The program fosters relationships between the park and user<br />

groups while promoting public involvement and sustainability practices.<br />

•§<br />

OHMVR Division planning staff and OHMVR Commissioners attend USFS and BLM<br />

land use planning meetings to provide feedback and support for their programs. In<br />

2014 and 2015, staff attended several USFS public meetings to provide feedback<br />

on the Forest Plan Revision Update. Staff were also engaged with the BLM’s West<br />

Mojave Route Network Project and Plan Amendment.<br />
