Click “lookup”

You’ll need to click in the yellow box for the grant you’d like to read and comment on

Click on the paperclip to the right of the grant you want to read, or, Click on the small white card with the green cross for the grant you want to comment on

These are comments not votes. Comments need to be thoughtful, stating your approval with reasons or you disapproval with reasons.

Don’t just say you want more money spent on OHV. Be specific: I’d like to see more money spent on OHV signage, specifically at the staging area for the Middle Fork Trail up Blackwood Canyon.

Or: I don’t believe that the funding of this grant is in the best interest of OHV trails and users. The grant sites a restoration of an area nowhere near any current or past OHV trail system.

I believe that you can comment multiple times. So, rather than type out ALL of your issues with a grant, make a single point in each comment.

Remember, every comment will be able to be seen by the general public. Be polite and professional.
