USFS to discuss off-highway vehicle grants

The Eldorado National Forest is developing preliminary applications to the Off Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division, which includes a strong emphasis on trail maintenance and repair, law enforcement across the four ranger districts, printing and distribution of the motor vehicle use maps, restoration of impacted areas, planning, and education.

The agency will be hosting an open house on Feb. 10 from 4-7pm to discuss the proposed preliminary grant applications. It will be at the Eldorado National Forest Supervisor’s Office, 100 Forni Road, Placerville.

Previous grants have helped address trail repair and clearing of downed trees on more than 300 miles of OHV routes, law enforcement patrol on an additional 900 miles of native surface roads on the forest, provided for the printing of free maps, as well as other planning, development, and restoration activities.
