ABOUT NMOHVA

NMOHVA is a statewide nonprofit alliance of motorized recreation enthusiasts and organizations. Our mission is to promote, protect, and preserve responsible off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation through education and advocacy.

Responsible OHV recreation has a legitimate place on public land, alongside all the other reasons people seek outdoor recreation. We, the members of NMOHVA, are conservationists and environmentalists. We are hikers and bikers, equestrians, hunters and anglers, bird watchers and wildlife photographers and history buffs. We enjoy driving and riding for the places it takes us and the pleasure it brings us. We treasure our public lands for all these reasons and we want to ensure that public land recreation includes preserving access for OHVs, where appropriate, for future generations.

NMOHVA is committed to creating new motorized recreation opportunities in New Mexico. NMOHVA supports local groups and individuals working with city, state, and federal land managers and agencies by developing projects, participating in grant programs, and acting as a fiduciary agent where needed.

NMOHVA has faced historical challenges to preserving our access to public lands. We have resisted those challenges where possible, by rallying our membership, by cooperating with receptive land managers, by participating in statutory processes like the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and by litigating where and when necessary. We will continue to use all tools available to us in pursuit of our mission.
