SEND LETTER TODAY !!! Preserve and Promote
Historic OHV Recreation at Northern California
Beach Area
The Center for Biological Diversity and other
anti-recreation groups are working overtime to
kill family-oriented OHV recreation at Tolowa
Dunes in Northern California.
The California OHV Division has been meeting
with local recreationists and trail groups to
discuss the preservation of historic OHV beach
access near Crescent City.
Anti-access groups have started a hate-mail
campaign asking California State Parks to ignore
the recent vote by the Del Norte County Board of
Supervisors that supported multiple-use
recreation, including OHV use, at this site. In
fact, the Center mentions the efforts of the
BlueRibbon Coalition and Open Beaches and Trails
to promote responsible OHV recreation in this
area.
Please email a letter today to the director
of California State Parks, Ruth Coleman, asking
her to support continued collaborative efforts
by the OHV program and local users regarding
this issue. The email addresses and a sample
letter are at the bottom of this email. Please
send it now.
If you can, please attend the public hearing
on OHV access on February 3 at 6:30 p.m.
Elk Valley Community Center, 2298 Norris
Avenue, Crescent City, California.
Thanks for your efforts!
Don Amador
Western Representative
BlueRibbon Coalition, Inc.

As you know, the Del Norte County Board of

County Fish and Game Commission to draft a
letter of said support that also includes more
OHV law enforcement.

provide for managed OHV recreation at Tolowa
Dunes is in compliance with the California
Public Resources Code Section 5090.02 (c)

Managed OHV recreation use at Tolowa Dunes is
an important and historic use. Please support
