COMMISSION

Nonprofits Working in Partnership with Federal Land Managers
Several nonprofit organizations have partnered with federal land managers to apply for
OHMVR Division grants directly for the care and protection of natural and cultural resources
on federal lands.
The Watershed Center works with the Shasta-Trinity
National Forest to provide quality OHV recreation while
minimizing impacts to resources. OHV grant funding allows
for the production of route maps, an OHV focused website
(www.trinityohvtrails.com), and route maintenance on
154 miles of OHV routes.
California Trail Users Coalition – Stewards of the Sequoia
The California Trail Users Coalition – Stewards of the
Sequoia work with the Sequoia National Forest on the care
and upkeep of motorized and non-motorized recreational
trails. Through OHV grant funding and thousands of
volunteer hours, over 200 miles of OHV trails are annually
maintained to provide quality OHV recreation while caring
for the forest’s rich natural and cultural resources.
Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship
Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, working in cooperation with the Tahoe
National Forest, performs maintenance on 44.1 miles of motorized
OHV trails in the Downieville Trail System.
This important network of trails provides an economic benefit to Sierra
County recreational tourism and receives over 60,000 visitors per
season. All trails are located in close proximity to and/or cross through
watersheds, making routine maintenance and drainage construction a
high priority to reduce sedimentation into streams and keep the trails
open to recreational users. The Downieville Trail System and the surrounding network
of OHV forest roads provide boundless opportunities for beginner to expert level OHV
recreationists as well as access for camping, birding, hiking, equestrian, fisherman, rock
climbers, and mountain bikers.
