Two Prince George groups have received funding to improve trail riding conditions and promote rider safety, the provincial government said Thursday.
The Tabor Mountain Recreation Society is getting $20,000 to carry out trail maintenance and the Prince George ATV Club has secured $15,000 to build a bridge over George Creek and repair the accompanying trail.
The money comes out of the Off-Road Vehicle Trail Fund, generated through a portion of registration fees collected under the Off Road Vehicle Act by ICBC. In all 11 groups received a share of $100,000.
Representatives from the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, the British Columbia Snowmobile Federation, British Columbia Off-road Motorcycle Association and ATVBC evaluated 28 applications before making the final decisions.
The fund is administered by the ministry's Recreation Sites and Trails Branch.
