UKIAH, Calif. - The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comments to help develop off-highway vehicle grant proposals to the California State Parks Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division (OHMVR) during an open house meeting on Feb. 13, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at the Ukiah Field Office, 2550 North State Street, Suite 2, Ukiah.
The OHMVR Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program supports well-managed off-highway vehicle recreation in California by providing financial assistance to cities, counties, districts, federal agencies, state agencies, educational institutions, federally recognized Native American Tribes and non-profit entities.
The BLM applies for grants from the OHMVR Division each year to help fund and coordinate its OHV program. The Ukiah Field Office plans to apply for grant funds for planning on South Cow Mountain OHV Recreation Area, law enforcement, restoration, as well as operations and maintenance of OHV areas.
Preliminary applications must be submitted to OHMVR no later than March 4, and will be available on the division website at http://www.ohv.parks.ca.gov. The website provides detailed instructions on how the public can access, review and comment on the preliminary applications from March 5 through May 6. Public comments should be submitted to the OHMVR or to the Ukiah Field Office at BLM_CA_Web_UK@blm.gov by May 6.
As stewards, the BLM manages public lands for the benefit of current and future generations, supporting conservation in pursuit of its multiple-use mission. For more information, please contact the Ukiah Field Office at 707-468-4000.
