I didn't see this topic but we did talk about it briefly at Oct. meeting. If I remember right, George said he would welcome direct comments to him in lieu of not being able to attend and of the 3 public meetings. A number of us may have already received an email regarding this as well.
This is the updated status on the closed 42 ENF trails due to meadow relationships of various forms. Previous thread: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=5759

Status (quoted)
A supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) for the affected 42 routes is in progress. A Proposed Action for the project is available as of October 9 (see below).
Public Meeting dates are scheduled.
The SEIS is anticipated to take about a year to complete. A significant part of the preparation time is the result of mandatory public review and comment time frames.
The MVUM map has been revised and is available. The Motor Vehicle Use Map is a free-of-charge map that displays the routes that are currently open to wheeled motor vehicle use.
