The National Forest Foundation (NFF) announced an expansion of its partnership with Polaris Industries to improve two off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails in Florida and Minnesota. Polaris donated $108,000 for the effort:

It's great when the manufacturers contribute to the efforts to keep trails open and maintained. Makes good business sense too.

 

Cool. I don't know how long this Polaris Foundation has been around but Polaris started the T.R.A.I.L.S. grant program in January 2006. They were the first ATV manufacturer to do anything like that. For all I know they could still be the only ones doing it. I never hear about anyone else giving out grants to improve trails or access or otherwise support ATV riders.

T.R.A.I.L.S. stands for:
T = Trail Development
R = Responsible Riding
A = Access
I = Initiatives
L = Lobbying
S = Safety
