Marshall University OHV Recreation Management
Course Spring Semester
Scholarship
Applications due on December 15, 2009
The
spring semester OHV Recreation Management course
is PLS 451/551 Planning and Design of OHV
Trails. The information in the course can
be invaluable for both agency personnel as well
as the enthusiasts. The planning of the
trail system is a critical component for
providing the quality trails that riders want to
ride.
There are 4 separate courses that make up the
OHV Recreation Management track. Two of
the courses have been introduced and the
remaining two courses are currently under
development. The content of the courses
were developed as a cooperative effort between
Marshall University and the National Off-Highway
Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) staff.
This semester’s scholarship is being offered
by the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) and the
Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA).
These organizations are once again showing their
commitment to creating and keeping sustainable
OHV trail systems. The scholarship is
being administered by the NOHVCC. The
completed applications are due on December 15,
2009.
Said Kathy Van Kleeck, Sr. Vice President of
Government Relations for the Motorcycle Industry
Council and the Specialty Vehicle Institute of
America, "MIC and SVIA are pleased to support
such a worthwhile cause that combines furthering
higher education with the practical tools needed
to help build a positive future for off-highway
vehicle recreation."
Russ Ehnes, Executive Director of the NOHVC,
added, “We are pleased to be able to offer this
scholarship with the partnership of MIC and
SVIA. The courses offered by Marshall
University are an invaluable resource to both
our rider community as well as the professional

furthering education regarding Off-Highway
Vehicle recreation management. This
scholarship is an excellent way for us to
further this goal.”
