Position Summary:
The AmeriCorps Off Highway Vehicle Specialist is based at the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in St. Paul, Minn. The purpose of this position is to strategize, support, and implement ways to strengthen a sustainable and fun Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) system in Minnesota. Off Highway Vehicles include All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), Off Highway Motorcycles (OHMs) and Off Road Vehicles (ORVs or 4x4s). Minnesota’s OHV system is one of the best in the nation. From scenic trails traversing state forests to the challenges at the Iron Range OHV State Recreation Area (IROHVSRA), the State’s OHV system provides opportunities for enthusiasts of all skill levels. The Parks and Trails Division of the DNR oversees over 1,000 miles of OHV opportunities in state forests and the Iron Range OHVSRA. Thousands of additional miles are part of the Grant in Aid (GIA) system, which is a partnership between the DNR, a local governmental unit and an OHV club to provide opportunities throughout Minnesota. These trails provide a means for Minnesotans to spend time with friends and family while enjoying the natural world around them.
