The Arizona Game and Fish Department became involved with Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) recreation in 1972 when legislation was passed that gave the Arizona Game and Fish Commission the authority to approve and expend funds to identify habitat damage, provide information and education, and provide law enforcement for OHV related activities. Although the authority to conduct these activities was approved, it was not until 1989 that funding was actually provided to administer these duties. With this revenue, the Arizona Game and Fish Department funds personnel and resources to meet the Department's mission of conserving, enhancing, and restoring Arizona's diverse wildlife resources and habitats through aggressive protection and management programs, and to provide wildlife resources, safe watercraft and off-highway vehicle recreation for the enjoyment, appreciation, and use of present and future generations.
