The Recreation HQ wants to remind OHVers in CA to be sure
and comment on OHV grants related to your favorite riding areas. This is YOUR chance to get engaged with the
OHV program in a substantive manner.
The public comment periods ends TODAY at end of business.
Many popular riding areas and related grant applicants have
not received a SINGLE comment from the user community. The following link will take you to the full
list of OHV grant applicants for the 2012/2013 grant cycle. You can’t complain about the legislature
taking money from the program if you are not willing to send in a comment
letter. To date, very popular riding
areas such as Chappie Shasta, Cow Mountain, and the Samoa Dunes have not gotten
a single comment! Please write your
support letter today!

The Recreation HQ issued an alert about this earlier and
it has links and instructions that will get you to the comment section for the
preliminary OHV grants. Send in your
comments today and urge your rider network to do the same.

Attn: Bruce R. Cann
Dear Mr. Cann:
On behalf of the members and Officers of the Lost Coast 4x4's club, I would like to request that the proposed Arcata Field Office O&M – 2013 off-highway vehicle (OHV) grant be funded for the Samoa OHV park maintenance, and enforcement.
Our club consists of numerous family memberships. We are a group of 4-wheel drive owners that have formed this club to promote safe, fun and responsible outdoor recreation for the family. We promote the Tread Lightly program and educate our fellow four wheelers in proper off road skills and safety. We provide off road training with certified instructors, and the Samoa OHV area is our primary training area.
The OHV areas at the Samoa and Eureka dunes provide a much needed form of recreation in our area. Many of our club members utilize these areas on a regular basis. As this is one of the few areas left in which we can enjoy our sport, and has been in use for many years, it is extremely important to us to keep this area open for OHV use.
It is for these reasons that we support the maintenance and growth of this area.
Thank you for your consideration in support of this grant.
