Default Re: Mt. Hood on the chopping block!!!

I see that. I can't believe they're actually considering OHV roads. I'm sure they'll have to leave room for a bike lane...

The Mt. Hood National Forest is formulating a new travel plan that will limit ALL vehicle use to designated roads, trails and areas. The Forest Service (FS) will be hosting two open houses during the month of September, to present and answer questions about the proposed action. (See schedule below)

The FS published a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in the Federal Register on August 27, 2007. This notice of intent is the first step in the formal scoping process that will steer the development of the draft EIS. The Proposed Action focuses on travel management within six proposed OHV areas and motorized access to dispersed (undeveloped) camping. Within each area, specific OHV routes are proposed by motor vehicle class, and new trails are proposed for construction where they would create trail loop opportunities.
