It will be given for in- formation leading to the arrest of anyone causing natural resources damage by the illegal use of motorized vehicles. The program is similar to OHA’s highly successful Turn In Poachers (TIP) program. The number to report a violation is (800) 452-7888. Said OHA, “Increasing off-road use of all-terrain vehicles, trucks, motorcy- cles and other motor vehi- cles is resulting in signifi- cant damage to wildlife habitat and other natural resources on public and pri- vate land throughout Ore- gon. In addition to physical damage, irresponsible and illegal use of motor vehicles in an off-road setting also creates a negative view of hunters, especially when damage occurs during hunt- ing seasons even if hunters were not involved. “The U.S. Forest Ser- vice and other land manage- ment agencies have identi- fied the growing use of rec- reational off-road vehicles as one of the greatest chal- lenges to managing and conserving natural resources on public land. Private land owners also are seeing more damage from trespassing off-road vehicles on their lands as well. “Hunters put so much effort and money into habi- tat protection and restora- tion, and then that habitat is damaged by off-road vehi- cles,” OHA continued. The Natural Resources Reward Program will work in a similar manner to the TIP program. A person ob- serving illegal or destructive off-road vehicle use can phone Oregon State Police at (800) 452-7888 to report the incident and pro- vide all relevant information. If the information pro- vided results in an arrest, the tipster will receive a $200 reward. The same phone number can be used to re- port game-poaching inci- dents.
