VOLUNTEER TRAIL CREWS HELP THE MENDOCINO WITH POST WILDFIRE/STORM DAMAGE RECOVERY
Glad to see PWORA and other work parties taking place on the ULRD and Stonyford OHV areas! I had the privilege to help organize and lead several dirt bike strike teams for PWORA back in the spring of 2021. We had two dirt-bike mounted trail strike teams with support from a ROV carrying larger saws, tools, etc., which we used to clear downed trees from some of the higher elevation trails.
Even back then we were running into more of the larger
diameter trees falling across the trail that were killed by the 2012 Mill Fire
and were reburned in the 2018 Ranch Fire.
Most of the small diameter trees had fallen or were burned up. It looks like now we are seeing even more of the
larger trees starting to fall.
Having worked with the Mendo agency leads and staff for over 30 years on various recreation and fuel projects, I have every confidence they will continue to work hard to utilize every resource at their disposal including fire crews, partners, etc. to recover and reopen the OHV trail network.
Be sure and check in on the Mendocino National Forest
website and FB page for updates on trail conditions and volunteer events. https://www.fs.usda.gov/mendocino/
Also check in on the PWORA FB page for updates on their
ongoing Mendo work parties.
