San Diego, CA- Cleveland National Forest officials will submit a cooperative grant application to the California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division for 2011/2012 "Green Sticker" grants. Beginning March 5, 2012, the application can be viewed by clicking on the "Grants" tab on the California State Parks Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation website at www.ohv.parks.ca.gov. Comments on the application must be received by April 2, 2012.

The Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program provides for well-managed off-highway vehicle recreation in California by giving financial assistance to cities, counties, districts, federal agencies, state agencies, educational institutions, federally recognized Native American Tribes, and nonprofit entities.

According to the State of California website, “All vehicles which are operated on public lands must be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles. The registration fee is $52 per vehicle, and is valid for a two-year period. The fees are used for acquisition of new off-highway vehicle areas, development and operation of existing off-highway vehicle areas, enforcement of the rules and regulations, and protection of the natural resources.”

Since 2003, Green Sticker grants have provided funding to help protect, maintain, and enhance the Cleveland National Forest's designated off-highway vehicle program. The Cleveland National Forest currently has two off-highway vehicle areas, Wildomar in Riverside County and Corral Canyon/Bear Valley in San Diego County.

If awarded, grant money would be used for facilities maintenance, signage, wildlife and cultural resource protection, and law enforcement support at off-highway vehicle areas.

Public comments must be submitted to Jake Rodriguez, recreation and lands officer on the Trabuco Ranger District, at jfrodriguez@fs.fed.us, and to California State Parks by using the "Grants" tab on their website atwww.ohv.parks.ca.gov.

does not sound good to me. it could be a good thing if they spent the money on things like trail maintenance and staging areas and what not. unfortunately it sounds more like money they can use to put up fences and gates and other various things to "protect" the enviroment. as well as pay officers to check and bust people :/

sounds like you fellas better hurry up and get your butts down to my neck of the woods before its gone.

Richard Tull the ranger for coral is a good guy I hear. More for you in SD than I get in my CNF.
 
I don't know of any riding in CNF other than Wildomar OHV (and some people say it's to small for anything other than an afternoon ride).
DS is all you will find in our neck of the CNF, but it does extend down to SD where you can find the G/R sticker trails.

i actually got his number from the ranger station. never met him but i guess hes the one who runs all the volunteer trail maintenance stuff.
Yep, I hear that he has been advocating for all the bike only trails in Coral.
I know the rat bastards use to money for improvements to keep us in line and out of wilderness but CNF is just a speck compared to the desert.
