Officials with Angeles National Forest are seeking comments from the public on two preliminary grants submitted to the State of California to fund the forest’s off-highway vehicle (OHV) operations. The draft applications, based on public and staff feedback given in February, seek to enhance ground operations functions:
Ground operations requests funding for route monitoring and maintenance; facility operations and maintenance at OHV staging areas and trailheads, habitat monitoring; soil conservation.
Law enforcement requests funding for staffing and equipment to enforce regulations
Comments are required to be submitted to California State Parks via their website under the “Grants” tab or by email to Ray Kidd. Comments will be accepted between Tuesday, March 5, 2019, and by 5 p.m. Monday, May 6, 2019. The forest will review and consider the public comments and then submit their final grant applications by June 3, 2019.
Forest Fire Restoration Program
The Angeles National Forest is located within one of the driest, most fire-prone areas in the United States – where human-caused wildland fires are becoming larger and more frequent - significantly damaging natural resources as well as important human infrastructure on these invaluable public lands.
Not all areas and resources impacted by these fires will recover naturally, so forest managers and partners have launched a number of restoration efforts intended to produce ecosystems that are able to adapt and thrive over time. Projects located within the areas burned by the Copper Fire (2002), Ranch Fire (2007), and Sayre Fire (2008) focus on forest or upland vegetation and stream or riparian ecosystem restoration, sensitive wildlife species management, infrastructure improvements, and other beneficial projects.
The Angeles National Forest Fuels program mission is to manage fuels at the landscape scale to restore and maintain fire-resilient landscapes that are compatible with their historical fire return interval, a core goal of the Cohesive Strategy.
Update: The objection-period for the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Plan has closed. The Forest Service has received seven (7) eligible objections.
