I have recently been in contact with TreadLightly who refered me to NEA4WD which is a group here in New England that works to get land opened for wheeling, keep land open for wheeling, and promote the Tread Lightly tradition of leaving the land better than you found it and maintaining it for use later.
This is the email I received from Scott Hatch who is the president:
In a nutshell the NEA is about responsible land use, maintaining access toland, and developing new access to land.
Currently our sport is facing a "closed door" policy in the state of
Massachusetts. The state has legislation keeping full sized rigs like ours OFF of our state lands. The legislation is a 1000 pound vehicle rule which was enacted before our sport was very organized. We have been attempting to introduce legislation to change this but it keeps getting stalled in various state legislative committees.
To be honest we have had better luck in New Hampshire, which isn't too far for a day of wheeling. Our goal is to increase areas for clubs to wheel through public and private land. Our Association has been opening on average a new parcel of land for recreational opportunities every year.
I will CC Dan Stra, he is our membership chair and can also help with
further questions

Mission Statment:
To protect and promote environmentally responsible Off-Highway Vehicle recreation, while maintaining a harmonious relationship between OHV enthusiasts and landowners. To support and educate Local, State and National agencies in the preservation of OHV recreation.
There is a cost but I would say that it is definitely worth it. They charge $75 for the first 25 members plus $3.00 for each additional member over this 25 member base. That is $75 for the whole 25, not per person, basically it is $3 per person in the club. They have runs, trail cutting, trail maintanaince, and they will work with clubs to help them work with local government to promote the sport. This is a list of member benefits but in here is a list of all the land they have managed to get access to, I am impressed.

I think that since we all love to wheel this club should become involved in the area and do what we can to get land opened and keep it opened and I think that NEA4WD is the way to do that, they have the experience necessary to teach us what we need to know. If you are still reading this far into this long post I geuss I already know what you think about this, haha. What are your thoughts?

Great way to start the club off in the right direction. I think that is a great idea for us as a club to be affiliated with a nationally recognized organization. It can only do us all good and the money for the registration fee is nothing split among 25 or more people !
Keep up the great work and let us know when you here more !

That is $75 for the whole 25, not per person, basically it is $3 per person in the club. So charge each member $13 total, $3 for the NEA4WD dues and $10 so that we can get a vbulletin forum of our own, then we don't have to fill yotatech with it and we can skip the crappy free delphi forum. Then $3 each year after to keep up the NEA4WD membership. The extra after the first 14 members pay (cost of vbulletin) can be startup costs towards stickers and shirts to raise money for whatever we need! $13 per person the first year then $3 each additional year doesn't seem unreasonable. Just have to open a club bank account.
