The Southern California Mountains Foundation is seeking public comments on our preliminary grant submitted on March 1, 2020, to the State of California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division (OHMVRD) for 2022. This draft application was based on public and staff feedback given in January and February and seeks to support forest OHV restoration efforts on the San Bernardino National Forest (SBNF).

SCMF is also seeking funds for the production and distribution of OHV Guides/maps for the SBNF.

Comments can be submitted from Tuesday, March 2^nd through Monday, May 3, 2021, by 5 pm.
