Travel Management Record of Decision is out and many of our traditional routes are on the chopping block and will be eliminated from the maps. We need your support. We sent in an appeal package to Region 5 and ALL of the appeals sent to the Region for the Sierra National Forest were TURNED DOWN BY THE REGIONAL FORESTER.
The Stewards of the Sierra will be working hard for as long as it takes to keep your favorite trails maintained and open. This will be an ongoing process over the next couple of years and into the foreseeable future working hard with your Help and Support to keep our trails maintained and open in the Sierra National Forest. This is where you and everyone you know can help. Grab a friend and have them grab a friend and come out for a good time, some great food, and friendship.
We will also be having a raffle table full of great stuff. Our last raffle table had over $5000.00 of swag that we gave away.
