Quadratec Inc., an independent retailer of parts and accessories for Jeep vehicles, has unveiled its 50 Cleanups in 50 States Stewardship Grant Fund in partnership with Tread Lightly!, an organization whose mission is to protect and enhance recreation access by promoting outdoor ethics.
The ’50-for-50’ program will fully support one stewardship project in each state over the next 24 months that enhances or improves off-road or public land access.
“Quadratec has always known the value of maintaining access to our public lands and off-road trails and believe it is our responsibility to support enthusiasts working towards improving the environment,” said Ted Wentz, CEO of Quadratec.
The ’50-for-50’ stewardship grant fund will help project managers pay for equipment, fees, volunteer support, food, fuel, signage and other miscellaneous costs.
Quadratec worked with industry partners Tread Lightly! and the Bureau of Land Management to launch its ’50-for-50’ program during last month’s Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah — funding a work project on Kane Creek Trail that enacted protective buck-and-rail fencing around an important historical petroglyph site.
Clubs and individuals are required to be active, supporting members of Tread Lightly! to be eligible to apply for ’50-for-50’ grant funding. To learn more about the Quadratec ’50-for-50 program, visit quadratec.com/quadratecs-50-states-50-trails-initiative.
