About this Event
Rigs & Restoration: Off-Road Volunteer Day
Presented by the Southern California Mountains Foundation & US Forest Service
"Leave the trails better than you found them—and have a blast doing it."
Join the Southern California Mountains Foundation (SCMF) and the U.S. Forest Service for a high-impact, dirt-filled day of stewardship. This isn’t just a trail ride; it’s an opportunity for the OHV community to put their rigs to work for the land we love. Whether you’re a seasoned off roader, a weekend dirt-roamer or a newbie we need your wheels and your hands to keep the San Bernardino National Forest pristine and accessible.
A Good Attitude: We’re here to work hard and enjoy the mountain air.
Why It Matters
The San Bernardino National Forest is one of the most visited in the country. With over 900 miles of routes, it takes a village (and a lot of torque) to maintain it. By joining a Rigs & Restoration event, you aren't just a visitor—you're a steward of the mountains.
