Open house for USFS OHV grant program

Tahoe National Forest has scheduled an open house in preparation for the 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.

It will be Feb. 16 from 4-7pm. This is for individuals and organizations to provide input and review proposals for the application.

Written comments will be taken until Feb. 24.

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.

The open house will be at Tahoe National Forest headquarters, 631 Coyote St., Nevada City. For more info, email  joetchavez@fs.fed.us.
