Cal4wheel Supports Caldor Fire Restoration Project
Wednesday, 21 June 2023

Cal4Wheel submitted comments for Scoping for the Caldor Fire Restoration Project in Eldorado National Forest. Cal4Wheel advocated for:

• Preservation of all existing recreational roads and trails during and following project completion
• Permanent retention of all roads that are created for the purpose of the project, that no roads will be decommissioned
• Restoration of historical OHV routes that have been previously closed in order to enhance the local recreation economy and eliminate bias in public land access against persons with disabilities
• Expansion of the boundaries of the CFRP to include remote back country and designated roadless areas within the burn scar, and the full range of Eldorado National Forest for fuel reduction and wildfire prevention efforts
• A detailed long-term maintenance plan to be implemented following completion of initial restoration efforts

Additionally, Cal4Wheel offered the ongoing support of club membership as volunteers to support the success of both immediate forest restoration and post-project maintenance needs.
