The Eldorado National Forest will be submitting applications for off highway vehicle cooperative funds.

The public’s ideas are important for developing the proposals. There will be an open house Feb. 8 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.

The USFS plans to put 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.

Once completed, the preliminary grant applications will be available on the OHMVR website from March 7-April 3.

The public may provide comments by emailing both Michelle Zuro-Kreimer at mzurokreimer@fs.fed.us and ohvinfo@parks.ca.gov.
