Quad access mats provide an environmental solution for all-terrain vehicle access across sensitive areas. They can be installed and removed by two people without heavy equipment. For example, a quad club used the mats to allow trail access while minimizing disturbance to a muskeg crossing in a provincial park. The mats conform better to uneven ground than a quad road but may heave more in spring. A quad road project showed new grass and environmental growth underneath within months of installation.
