15 Apr Tread Lightly! Impact Report: Determination Towers Fence Repair-Easter Jeep Safari 2024

Project: Determination Towers Fence Repair-Easter Jeep Safari 2024
Location: Moab, Utah

Description: This project was made possible thanks to the Fox Trail Trust.

On March 25, 2024, 26 volunteers joined Tread Lightly! for its first project of three to restore off-road trails in Moab, Utah.

After a safety briefing, volunteers wheeled past Courthouse Rock and Monitor and Merrimack to the project site at Determination Towers. There, volunteers disassembled around 100 feet of existing worn buck-and-rail fencing and used those pieces to repair areas along the over-800 foot of remaining fencing.  

Volunteers also rebuilt a section of around 70 feet of buck and rail that is used to protect sensitive areas from motorized traffic. In total, this project helps protect eight miles of iconic Moab trail.

Like our vehicles, our public lands need periodic maintenance, and this project is a great example of the off-road community working to maintain standing infrastructure.

Thank you to the partners who made this possible:

• Fox Trail Trust
• BLM Moab Field Office
• Red Rock 4-Wheelers
• Ladies Offroad Network
• 4Fest Events
• Unofficial Use Only
