M5 is a FS System Road that allows for Mixed-Use by
Green-Sticker OHVs
The Recreation HQ wants to alert OHV enthusiasts about
the ongoing public meetings (May 6-14 at various locations) the Mendocino
National Forest are holding related to Subpart A of the Travel Management Rule.

The start/end time for each event is 3:30pm – 6:30pm and

Shannon Pozas, the Forest’s road engineer states, “ To be
clear, this is not a proposal or decision document, but a transportation study
that will help inform future road management planning and can serve as an
additional resource in future multiple resource projects,” said Pozas. “Similar to the MVUM, this document will continue
to evolve and change over the years, with opportunities for interested public
to share their thoughts and engage in the process.”
As you may know, Forest Service System Roads are the
backbone of the Mendocino National Forest’s OHV program. Many are managed as OHV trails for dirt-bike,
ATV, SxS, and 4WD use. Some roads are
designated as “Mixed Use” which allows for use by non-street legal OHVs. Other
roads provide connector routes between the trail systems and Ranger
Districts. Roads also provide general
public access for hunting, firewood, and driving for pleasure.
HQ urges riders and clubs to attend these meetings if at
all possible. If you can’t make it, try
and have a friend or representative attend.
HQ believes it is important for users to attend these public formats to
show your support for access to the Forest.
I will be attending the May 13 meeting in Ukiah on behalf
of BRC and QWR. Thanks for your review
of this alert.
*Please fwd. to your OHV
network.
