The Wyoming Forest Service wants to hear from you regarding a proposed motorized trail on land in the Bighorn National Forest.
The BlueRibbon Coalition reports that the Wyoming Forest Service is requesting public comment on a new proposal to designate a motorized trail in the Tongue Ranger District of the Bighorn National Forest.
The proposed trail would be located south of U.S. Highway 14A and across U.S. Highway 14 in the Burgess Junction area. It would be open to non-motorized use and motorized vehicles 50 inches wide or less, and it be a combination of new construction and existing trail land. The proposal includes a seasonal closure and travel restrictions on motorized use from November 16 to June 15 annually. The seasonal closure would not apply to snowmobiles.
The public comment period for the draft environmental assessment opened on September 4, 2015. Comments will be accepted for 30 days and can be hand delivered or sent by regular mail to district ranger Amy Ormseth, Tongue Ranger District, 2013 Eastside 2nd Street, Sheridan, WY 82801, emailed to comments-bighorn@fs.fed.us (please put “Comments: Lodge ATV Connector Trail Project” in the subject line), or faxed to 307.674.2668.
More information about the proposed trail is available on the Bighorn’s website at http://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=45472 or by calling Leslie Horsch at 307.674.2632.
