Dear Mr. Nadeau:
This letter is in response to our phone conversation on August 8, 2005. On behalf of North East Willy’s Jeeps Organization (NEWJO), we would like written permission to access city owned land by Off Highway Vehicles (OHV’s) including jeeps and trucks (not ATV’s). The land in question is located behind Marden’s in Lewiston and extends to the Androscoggin River.
As part of the Tread Lightly philosophy, we would respect your land by only slowly exploring existing trails, not making new ones. For more information concerning Tread Lightly please visit TreadLightly.org.
If permission to access land is granted NEWJO members agree to:
• NEWJO will stay on existing trails and leave the land as they found it.
• NEWJO will perform trail clean ups to help preserve the land and keep wildlife and pedestrians safe.
• NEWJO will install a barricade (gate or cable) and control access to land if necessary to help avoid unwanted activities on said land.
• NEWJO will install and maintain water bars where necessary to prevent excessive erosion.
• NEWJO will not remove any standing trees.
• NEWJO will not exceed 12 vehicles on the property at any one time.
• NEWJO members and guests agree to indemnify and hold harmless the property owner, City of Lewiston, for any accident/injury occurring on their property.
We greatly appreciate your consideration in allowing us access to this land.
Sincerely,
James Hartford
