In 2022 the McKinney fire wreaked havoc on the Klamath National Forest. The U.S. Forest Service is proposing move forward with the Humbug OHV Restoration project just north of Yreka, California in the Happy Camp/Oak Knoll District. The proposal is to restore 18.44 miles of forest roads. The project will remove hazard trees, trail maintenance and restoration. The trails in red are the trails that need maintenance to restore from fire damage.
The Forest Service is using a Categorical Exclusion (CE) to approve this plan. When a CE applies, an environmental assessment (EA) or environmental impact statement (EIS) is not usually required, unless there are extraordinary circumstances. CE’s can help save time, resources, and reduce paperwork.
Let the Forest Service know you support this CE and that our trails need to be re-opened as soon as possible by providing the necessary maintenance and work to make the forest safe. Comments will be accepted through October 8, 2024 PST.
