USFS looking for input on grant application

Tahoe National Forest officials are preparing an annual application to the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division, to request funding for trail maintenance, restoration, development of facilities, law enforcement, and planning for off-highway vehicle access.

These annual grants provide funds for the Forest Service to develop and maintain trails and trailheads, repair winter storm damage and restore trailside environments, as well as provide patrolling and monitoring of these areas.

On Feb. 12 from 4-7pm the U.S. Forest Service will host an open house for people to provide input and review proposals for the application. Comments are being accepted until Feb. 24.

The open house is at 631 Coyote St., Nevada City. For more info, email joetchavez@fs.fed.us or call 530.478.6158.
