4 Wheelers have a direct stake in protecting our national backcountry environment. Mesa Industries urges outdoorsmen to be responsible toward the environment and to help preserve future opportunities for outdoor recreation.

TREAD LIGHTLY! unites Federal and State land management agencies with the private sector, user groups, and individuals who share a basic commitment to care for our valuable resources.

The organization's message is responsible use of public and private lands. The first and foremost goal of the TREAD LIGHTLY! program is to encourage recreationists to be responsible as they enjoy their off-highway vehicle or other forms of backcountry travel.

They should also apply low-impact principles to all outdoor recreation activities. Being environmentally responsible isn't difficult, but it does involve making a commitment to help preserve the beauty and the inspiring attributes of our lands for yourself and new generations to follow.
