HIDDEN BEAR TRAIL ATV CLUB GRADUATES 21 STUDENTS IN DNR ATV SAFETY COURSE: The Hidden Bear Trail ATV Club (HBT ATV Club) held a DNR ATV Safety Course on July 1st & July 2nd. The event, held at the Riverview Town Hall in Mountain, attracted students of all ages from across the eastern half of Wisconsin. DNR certified ATV Instructors from the HBT ATV Club, and the Red Arrow Snowmobile & ATV Club led the two evening course. Students learned about ATV Safety, DNR regulations and respect for the rights of others. Students were required to pass an exam at the end of the training and were issued a DNR ATV Certificate to operate an ATV. Students were also reminded to spread the work that anyone born after January 1st, 1988 must complete the course to operate an ATV legally in Wisconsin. Currently that means anyone 26 years old or younger must have completed the course. Congratulations to all the graduates and their parents who encouraged them to take the course with our club. The HBT ATV Club works with the Forest Service, the DNR, Oconto County and the local townships of Riverview, Doty & Lakewood to open additional ATV routes and trails and to insure the safety of all ATV riders in the area.
