The Two Trackers Four Wheel Drive Club is a family oriented, trail riding organization for street-licensed four wheel drive vehicles.  The club holds a number of trail rides, forest/trail clean-ups and charitable events each year.  The club was formed for the purpose of providing social, educational and recreational activities for its members; participation in, and support of civic activities for the betterment of the community; and the promotion of conservation for the betterment of the environment.

Several years ago, the the Two Trackers bacame involved in the Adopt-A-Forest program.  The Adopt-A-Forest program is a collaborative effort between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the U.S.

Forest Service and volunteer groups and individuals.  Each Spring the Two Trackers coordinate an annual trash clean-up in the Southern portion of the Manistee National Forest.  Their designated “adopted” lands

reside in Blue Lake, Cedar Creek and Holton Townships of Muskegon County and Grant Township, Greenwood Township and Otto Township of Oceana County for a total of 36,163 acres of public land.

The Two Trackers annual clean-up efforts have eliminated many of the historic illegal dumping sites in these areas including the removal of 900 yards of trash, 3,425 tires, 130,000 pounds of shingles, 3 junk vehicles and 250 gallons of used oil.

The 12th annual trail clean-up will be held on April 17, 2010.  The clean-up kicks off with volunteer registration at 8 a.m. at the Car-Go Fuel Station, 5536 Holton Road in Twin Lake, Michigan.
