MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. – The Mendocino National Forest is seeking input on the proposed Trail 17N84 Restoration Project on the Grindstone Ranger District.

Under this proposal, up to 1,500 feet of Trail 17N84 would be restored and closed to future off-highway vehicle use.

The project area is located approximately five miles southwest of Stonyford in Colusa County.

The purpose of this proposed project is to reduce erosion and minimize soil from entering into Mill Creek down slope of the trail.

Trail 17N84 is one of many motor vehicle trails located within the Stonyford area of the Mendocino National Forest’s designated trail system and connectivity to the designated trail system would not be affected by this closure.

Humboldt Ave., Willows 95988; fax 530-934-1212; or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
