Public Comment on Proposed Grant Application
The Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority (MRCA) will be submitting a 2023 grant application to the California State Parks Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division (OHMVR). MRCA intends to apply for funds for ecological restoration on MRCA-owned portions of Elephant Hill Open Space, Ritter Ranch Park, and Plum Canyon/Santa Clara River that are affected by illegal off-highway vehicular use. An important part of the grant process is gathering input from individuals and organizations for MRCA to consider including in its submission. This feedback will be considered in development of the preliminary grant applications and as final applications are prepared.
From March 7, 2023 to May 1, 2023, the general public can visit www.ohv.parks.ca.gov to view the applications. Public comments must be submitted to both the OHMVR Division and to MRCA by 5:00 pm on May 1, 2023. Comments emailed to MRCA should be sent to Julien Buenaventura at Julien.Buenaventura@mrca.ca.gov.
