A public comment period will be held beginning March 2 through May 3, 2021 regarding grant requests that were sent to state officials to help manage some of the only local off-highway vehicle areas located in the Lassen National Forest and surrounding areas.
The applications are sent to the state Department of Parks and Recreation and will be posted at www.ohv.parks.ca.gov. The funding requests are done annually and this year the forest is requesting a grant for a law enforcement project for OHV area patrols and enforcement.
Public comments can be sent via email to: OHVinfo@parks.ca.gov or to adam.hill@usda.gov. The applications focus on facilities operation, road and trail maintenance, and law enforcement.

In addition, the project would re-establish osprey nesting platforms within the Osprey Management Area that were destroyed by the Whaleback Fire.
