New partnership with Tread Lightly

Responsible riding is our cause

Responsible riding is in our DNA. Our passion for trail adventures was always tied to making the off-road a better place for all riders while considering environmental protection.

That is why Can-Am partnered with Tread Lightly! Our mission is to protect motorized trail access and public lands through stewardship projects and responsible recreation education. Can-Am’s partnership has funded Tread Lightly! trail improvement projects throughout the United States. In addition to the projects, Can-Am has donated Can-Am Defender Side-by-Side units to assist in future off-road trail maintenance projects.

Idaho: North Fork of Big Creek

Big Creek, Lost River Range

The North Fork of Big Creek is a critical bull trout habitat: Updating trailhead signage and information about the importance of protecting native bull trout and spawning habitat. So the project consists of the installation of 6’ x 35’ bridge, a vital addition of trail connectivity to the larger trail system. The bridge will provide safe and convenient connectivity to 150 miles of multi-use trails, non-motorized trails and 50"+ trail.
Tread Lightly!’s Can-Am Defender will assist in access & transport of materials and crew.

Halfway Stage Station, Utah

Fence replacement to protect the land

The historic Halfway Stage Station served travelers in the late 19th century. Can-Am and Tread Lightly! joined forces to protect the area with a new fence due to its historical value and to keep the local trails open for motorized recreation.
