Are any new areas being opened to off-highway vehicles?
A. The new Forest Plans do not open any new areas to off-highway vehicle use. In fact, the plans require that vehicles be operated only on designated routes. The current status of designated OHV routes (roads, trails and limited areas on the Angeles and Cleveland Forests) is unaffected by the new Forest Plans. All designated routes or areas are in zones in which public motorized use is allowed. Any changes in the future will be proposed within areas that are zoned for public motorized use and will be subject to site-specific planning including public involvement.
