The OHMVR Commission meets at least four times per year at various locations<br />
throughout the state to engage with the public and receive comments about the<br />
implementation of State Park’s OHMVR Program. OHMVR Commission meetings<br />
usually consist of a tour on the first day followed by a public meeting the second<br />
day. When possible, the OHMVR Commission tours areas that receive OHV Trust<br />
Funds in the form of grants to nonprofit organizations, local governments, and<br />
federal agencies that provide OHV opportunities. These meetings also provide<br />
an ideal forum for agencies and stakeholders to discuss issues affecting OHV<br />
recreation.<br />

The Carnegie SVRA environmental science team<br />
led a group of researchers from the United States<br />
Geological Survey and BLM in a search for California<br />
red-legged frogs as part of a population genetics<br />
study and screening for a potentially deadly fungus.<br />
Researchers visited two locations at night in the<br />
park and, despite the state’s historic drought, at least<br />
eight frogs were found in each spot. The frogs were<br />
weighed, measured, and biological samples were taken. The results will help the<br />
resources team learn more about this federally endangered species.<br />
