Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship (SBTS) has applied for four project grants this year and need your comments to CA-OHV on both so we can receive the grants and continue providing #dirtmagic to the public! Below are instructions in an easy, step-by-step process and the link to submit your comments in support of SBTS receiving these grants.
As far as what to say, you can be brief or you can pontificate, but the crux is to communicate how important the Downieville and Quincy trails are to you and how important it is to keep these trails open for the public to use. Also mention the economic importance of the trails, for they provide critically positive economic impact in two struggling California counties.
Ideas on why to comment:
- Recreation opportunities for visitors and locals
- Creates local employment
- Creates sustainable trail systems that require less maintenance
- Keeps trails open and safe while protecting watershed
The comment period closes May 4, so please provide comments before then, and spread the word! The more positive comments we receive, the better.
