Here are some steps you can take to get involved in your recreation - even if you only have 5 minutes a month:5 Minutes a Month (the time it takes to brush your teeth)- leave a copy of your club or association newsletter at work
- put a note about your club activities in the company newsletter
- call or send an e-mail to your elected official
- write a contribution check to a political action fund
- write a contribution check to a local club working on trails in your area
15 Minutes a Month (the time it takes to grab a Starbucks)- call new club members to welcome them and ask them to get involved
- write a "Dear Legislator" letter on a critical issue
- write a letter to a public official to preserve recreation opportunities
- write a letter to the Editor about recreation issues
- leave your campsite and trails cleaner than you found them
1-2 Hours a Month (the time it takes to watch a primetime re-run)- write several letters to representatives and editors
- get to know your local legislator
- become more active in your local club
- take membership applications and newsletters to libraries an stores
- attend a local land mangement agency Planning Board meeting
- attend a local land management agency Public Comment meeting
3-5 Hours a Month (the time you spend reading off-road forums)- join a campaign to clean up a campsite or trail
- participate in a club or association committee
- work with the political committee to elect recreation supportive candidates to office
