MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. – The Mendocino National Forest seeks public comments no later than Dec. 22 on an amendment to a decision memo regarding Trail 17N84.

The current decision closes and restores a segment of Trail 17N84 to the east of Mill Creek.

The proposed amendment would restrict the use of a 950-foot long segment of this trail to vehicles 50 inches or less in width, such as off-highway vehicles or motorcycles.

Because this trail is not a through-route to trails or roads which permit vehicles larger than this, there is no value in retaining this segment of trail for road vehicle use.

Additional design features are not anticipated as this would result in reduced use, and does not involve any physical modification.

Comments will be accepted through Dec. 22 by mail, fax, email or in person to the responsible official, Tony Saba, Acting District Ranger, c/o Linda Serret, District NEPA Planner, at: 825 N. Humboldt Ave. Willows, CA 95988; fax: 530-934-1212; or email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Please put “Trail 17N84 Restoration (Proposed Amendment)” in the subject line.

The Mendocino National Forest maintains more than 330 miles of trails for public recreation.
