I thought I would offer a suggestion though. Perhaps it would be a good idea for the club to invest in a game/trail camera that could be mounted nearby to capture who comes and goes? If mounted somewhere that's difficult to see or vandalize, it might work. I don't know how often someone is there to change out batteries or do other maintenance that it might require, but it's an idea.

Another option (and forgive me because I'm not local and don't know the area) would be to post the land, and require that anyone who wants to use it contact the club first to sign a waiver or at least "sign in" that the were there. If the roads into the area can be gated, it might prevent non-riders from entering with their cars. My neighborhood has a gated boat ramp that uses the same idea - locals know the combination to the lock, but it keeps outsiders from driving down to the water.

It really sucks that you have to resort to measures like that when you're just trying to provide a nice place to ride, but there's stupid people everywhere.
