State of California Grant Application and Meeting to Discuss Proposal

Each year the State of California makes funding available through the Off-Highway Vehicle Grants Program.   The grants program provides financial assistance to eligible agencies and organizations (federal, city, county, nonprofit, etc.) that develop, maintain, operate, expand, support, or contribute to well managed, high-quality, OHV recreation areas, roads, and trails.  This year the State has available $27 million for education, operation and maintenance, law enforcement and restoration projects.  

The Sierra National Forest is submitting a grant application to the State for OHV funding.   As a part of the grant application, the State requires that the grant be available for public review and input for 30 days.  Starting Tuesday, March 2, 2010, you may review the Sierra National Forest's application as well as all grant applications on the State's internet website:  http://ohv.parks.ca.gov/

The Sierra National Forest will also host a open house on Tuesday, March 16, to discuss the OHV Grant application and the funds being requested.    The meeting will be at the Sierra National Forest Headquarters at 1600 Tollhouse Road in Clovis,  starting at 6:30 pm.  

You may also submit written comments to the OHV Division’s website or you send your comments to Sierra National Forest, Attn. Mose Jones-Yellin, 1600 Tollhouse Road, Clovis,  CA  93611.
