Rally for Rangers connects motorcycle enthusiasts passionate about discovering and protecting the world’s special places with park rangers dedicated to preserving natural and cultural heritage. With the support of a $10,000 grant from the Overland Expo Foundation Rally for Rangers hosted an adventure motorcycle rally based in Custer, SD, to support indigenous conservation efforts of the Northern Cheyenne and Oglala-Sioux tribal parks as well as the Black Hills National Forest Motorized Trails Program.
In addition to support from the Overland Expo Foundation, participants raised and additional $20,000 to purchase and donate a new motorcycle, night vision optics, tactical binoculars, and sturdy flashlights. The volunteers also spent a half-day with the USDA National Forest Service installing new fencing that block access to illegal riding areas, and conducted a clean up of the area removing tires, trash, shooting range brass, and more.
