The goal of the partnership is to teach good stewardship in off-road. Tread Lightly! started as a campaign to address impacts from off-roading in forest areas. In 1990, the organization became a non-profit. Based in Utah, Tread Lightly! helps protect recreation access and promotes outdoor ethics while maintaining a healthy environment.\r\n\r\n\u201cCOVID has supercharged the already rapid growth of the UTV market with 72% of sales being new UTV users. We want to ensure that we teach people new to off-road culture that responsible land use is one of our most important duties,\u201d stated UTV World Championship CEO Matt Martelli.\r\n\r\n\u201d Even just the basic tenet of pack it in, pack it out, making sure you take out any trash you bring in needs to be reinforced as a basic rule of thumb for off-road recreation,\u201d Martelli said.\r\n\r\nThe UTV World Championship event is working with Tread Lightly! to help create a desert clean-up at its Lake Havasu event in October.","excerpt":"<p>The UTV World Championship is partnering with Tread Lightly! to help clean up the desert near Lake Havasu.
