COMMENT ON REGION 5 HAZARDOUS TREE REMOVEL PROPOSAL
Comments Due on Nov. 15, 2021
QWR believes it is important for OHV recreationists to be
engaged in important planning efforts that affect our post-fire access to designated
roads, trails, and areas that can be used for both casual use and permitted
competition events.
The Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (R 5) is
accepting comments on the proposed Post Disturbance Hazardous Tree Management
Project. As you know, wildfires over
the last several years in California have resulted in fire-killed or damaged
trees that pose threats to public health, safety, and property. The R5 Post Disturbance Hazardous Tree
Management project includes hazard tree felling and removal, as well as removal
of downed woody fuels resulting from hazard trees (slash), to reduce public
safety hazards along portions of roads, trails, and near facilities
(campgrounds, trail heads, Forest Service offices).
QWR is preparing comments and urges you to file your own
comments since most all of us who ride are affected by post-fire impacts to
trail use.
