Attendees will also be able to

funding opportunities.
After staff gather public comment, a
preliminary grant application will be submitted to the State's Off-Highway
Motor Vehicle Recreation Division (OHMVR) by Monday March 7th. The
application will then be publicly available on OHMVR's website for a second
public commenting period between March 8th and May 2nd.
The Forest Staff must submit a final
grant application by Monday June 6th.
The Forest has been a recipient of
State OHV grants for over 20 years and has received several million dollars to
create and maintain staging areas and trails, patrol and enforce regulations,
and restore damaged lands.
