BACKGROUND: PWORA is working with the
Mendocino National Forest, Upper Lake District to build new trails and restore
fire-damaged trails. The Mason Trail Connector is a conversion to OHV use of
approximately 1.3 miles of the abandoned logging road and will provide a
connection between two existing Mendocino National Forest OHV trails. The trail
was partially constructed by the Mendo NF and improved with 3 other culverts in
locations along with the trailbed but lacked a sustainable all-season creek
crossing in one location. PWORA constructed a multiplate culvert to provide an
all season, sustainable and fire-resistant creek crossing to complete the new
trail. Final preparations and arrangements are being made by PWORA and Mendo NF
to prepare for an official opening of the trail in 2023.
