Eureka, CA., February 13, 2026 — The Six Rivers National Forest and the Shasta Trinity National Forest patrol districts are seeking feedback on grant applications for the California State Parks Off-Highway Motor Vehicle (OHV) Recreation Division Grant Program (OHMVR) to enhance and manage motorized recreation in the area.
The public will be able to comment on the preliminary applications from March 3 to May 4 at olga.ohv.parks.ca.gov/egrams_ohmvr . Forest staff will consider the public comments received as they develop the final grant application for submission in June.
The two law enforcement project proposals support law enforcement activities that promote education and healthy use of our public lands. Activities include public information, education and enforcement, incident management, resource monitoring and protection. These projects support enforcement of all laws pertaining to OHV operation, emphasizing noise levels, resource protection and prevention of OHV trespass. The projects would also provide patrol coverage for public safety, wildlife, soils and habitat protection while sustaining OHV recreation opportunities.
