Committee reports river-trail work with BLM; video of ride shared nationally
Summary
Committee members described joint work with the BLM on a river trail toward Kane/Washington, volunteer trail repairs and a 12-person group ride. Members said video of the work was posted broadly, including on the Backcountry Horsemen of America national page.
Speaker 3 reported that committee volunteers worked with the Bureau of Land Management on a river trail project heading toward Kane and Washington counties and described a successful work day followed by a group ride. "We had 12 people on our group ride," Speaker 3 said, calling the project a successful fix and noting heavy use of the trail since repairs.
Speaker 3 asked for video contributions to show attendees: "I'd I'd love for everybody to send a video," and described that a ride video "has gone across the country a few times" and was reposted on the Backcountry Horsemen of America national page, increasing visibility for the local project.
Why it matters: the work was presented as volunteer-supported trail maintenance done in coordination with the BLM and the state trails program, and committee members said the publicity helped raise awareness and encourage use and stewardship.
Next steps: volunteers may assist the Backcountry Horsemen in packing supplies into the High Uinta wilderness to support Forest Service trail-cleaning work. Committee members framed this as voluntary assistance rather than a formal commitment requiring funding or procurement.
The meeting did not include formal approvals or funding votes for the river-trail or packing support; those remain operational items for staff and volunteers to coordinate.
