Off-highway vehicle use has exponentially grown as a result of the pandemic. Because of this growth, some land managers have turned to Matt Caldwell, and his organization Tread Lightly for answers. We had a chance to sit down with Matt along side Matt Eberhart, Arizona’s State OHV Coordinator to discuss growing pains associated with the explosive recent popularity of motorized trails, and mitigation options to help define a path forward. These guys were a lot of fun to have in the studio, and we’re sure you haven’t heard the last of the Matts!
