Region 6
Director:
Alan Paulson
The PNW4WDA was incorporated in 1960 as the Pacific
Northwest Jeep Association. The name was changed to the
Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association to encourage
owners of other models of four wheel drive vehicles to join.
We are dedicated to preserving our environment for future
generations and in that light, provide education and
training in a variety of ways. Education is perhaps the
only avenue that is sure to bring results.

Mission Statement
The
mission of the Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive
Associationis to draw together four-wheel drive
enthusiasts, supporters and Land Management Agencies in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho to:
▪
Support 4-wheel drive activities
▪
▪ Promote
responsible use to protect the resources
▪
▪ Enhance the
positive image of the sport and the enthusiasts
▪
▪ Maintain or
improve 4-wheel drive opportunities
▪
▪ Protect
access to public lands
▪
As members of
the American public who operate four wheel drive vehicles to
access the inspiring scenery of our mountains, deserts,
forests, and all the other back country areas of the nation,
we will:
-
Leave the
land and its vegetation as we found it. Help conserve
plant life and soil integrity by limiting travel to
established roads and trails. Avoid cutting switchbacks
and driving through meadows, which will leave permanent
scars.
-
Protect the
history of the nation by not disturbing old mining
camps, ghost towns and other historical or
archaeological values.
-
Respect and
help protect the rights and property of miners,
ranchers, fishermen, hikers, hunters, bicyclists and
other recreationists.
-
Accept the
responsibility of keeping the backcountry beautiful by
packing out litter regardless of who left it there.
-
Extend to
those we meet friendship, courtesy and tolerance, as
these values are necessary as well as contagious.
-
Assure,
that in all our endeavors, safety is a prime
consideration.
-
Make every
effort to apprise ourselves of the ecology, geology, and
the history of our environment so that we may fully
appreciate and protect our national heritage.
-
To the best
of our ability, educate others by example and deed.
