Loomis Basin Horsemen's Association (LBHA) founded in 1984 is a non-profit 501(C)3 information and awareness group dedicated to local trails, Traylor Ranch Nature Reserve, Loomis Basin Arena, and preservation of the rural lifestyle. A small yearly membership fee ensures that the arena and Traylor Ranch will remain here for the local horse community and future generations.
ORV – Social & Management Issues
Off-road vehicles can have a substantial impact on the experience of other non-motorized visitors on trails that are shared or even on adjacent forest or park settings.
This research investigated the influence of several use-related, environmental, and managerial factors on soil loss on recreational trails and roads at Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, a unit of the U.S. National Park Service.
All-Terrain Vehicle Sustainability Assessments
The sustainable management of ATV use is an expensive proposition requiring careful design, construction, and maintenance of ATV trails.
This research assessed the condition and sustainability of the trail system at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, a National Park Service unit that partners with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in the management of this unit.
