There are 18 National Forests in California with a combined inventory of<br />
nearly 40,000 miles of OHV routes.<br />
The individual National Forests apply directly for OHV grant funding.<br />
Since 2014, the USFS has been awarded approximately $18,000,000 in<br />
operations and maintenance grant funding for the care and protection of natural and cultural<br />
resources on National Forest lands. These grants provide funding to build fences to protect<br />
sensitive environments and cultural resources, monitor habitat and soil conditions, maintain<br />
roads and trails to reduce sedimentation, and install signs to keep visitors on the trails<br />
and routes. OHV planning grants provide funding to the USFS to conduct environmental<br />
analysis for proposed projects to examine potential impacts on resources.<br />
