Attention Washington/Oregon/Idaho Recreationists!
This is an important update on the Colville National Forest "Working Group" meetings which are planned for late February and March. The forest has just released the schedule for the Working Group meetings (see Schedule below). During this round of meetings participants will develop specific recommendations for changes or additions to the OHV route system in each project area.
ACCESS ADVISORY:
The FS says in addition to OHV routes, the second round of meetings will also discuss the dispersed camping and changes to the non-motorized trail system. BRC supports active management of all trail-based recreation, and we support comprehensive recreation management. However, we have seen instances where the agency attempts to use the existing inventory of motorized routes to develop a non-motorized system. This is why it is critically important for the OHV community to become involved in the first round of meetings.
Please plan on attending one of the orientation meetings if you plan to attend any of the working group meetings. The dates, times, and locations for the working group meetings are shown below. If you can not attend one of the orientation meetings and you would like to attend a working group meeting, please call Debbie Wilkins at 509-447-7322 or Carmen Nielsen at 509-738-7761.
