Project: Rim Lakes bilingual kiosk and sign install
Location: Arizona
Description: This project was funded by Can-Am Off-Road. Can-Am has committed to funding trail stewardship projects in the state of Arizona in partnership with Tread Lightly! to help maintain and improve access to public lands and off-road trails.
On June 20, 2023, 15 volunteers gathered to help install two kiosks with bilingual signage near high-traffic areas of the Rim Lakes Recreation Area in Arizona. Multiple incidents have occurred in the area resulting in injuries, so it was important to convey safety and responsible recreation areas in multiple languages to help reach a broad audience and reduce the number of incidents.
Thank you to the partners who made this possible:
“The project we completed through Tread Lightly! was long overdue. Due to restrictions in funding and challenges with procurement, the district had been unable to providing this vital information to date.
The messaging conveyed on the Kiosks provided by Tread Lightly, communicating legal, safe, and environmentally responsible OHV use in both the Spanish and English languages is anticipated to result in fewer injuries and fewer lives lost as well as a reduction to environmental damage caused by irresponsible OHV use around Bear Canyon Lake in the Rim Lakes Recreation Area. We look forward to a continued partnership with Tread Lightly!”- Debbie Roznovak, USFS
