Forestry officials will be out on patrol this spring to ensure off-road vehicle users are riding responsibly.
Crown land and forest service roads around Vancouver Island will be patrolled throughout spring and summer, especially focused on environmentally sensitive areas such as grasslands, streams and hillsides that can provide critical habitat for plants and animals. Patrols are planned in the Campbell River, Comox Valley, Gold River, Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach and Port Alberni areas. Dirt bike and ATV use picks up from April to October. People found damaging sensitive areas may be ticketed $575 or face penalties up to $10,000.
